When you first start the game, the player will be in the room where the journalists will question him. From this moment you can start a career Formula 1 driver. After you have told about the name, you will be asked about the nationality, as well as the nickname and the number of seasons that you will spend in the Formula, 3, 5 or 7 seasons. After that, you can choose the team for which you can start the season, HRT-Cosworth, Lotus-Cosworth or Virgin-Cosworth. When choosing any of these teams, you are in the place of the second pilot who is not involved (For example, if you choose HRT, then Karun will not perform this season, but if you switch to another team for the next season, he will take your last place).

In your trailer you are always met by your agent. She is looking at contracts that you can enter into for the next season. In the computer, you can also find out about all the teams and pilots, as well as their statistical indicators, which is very informative.

In career mode, you can go Long Racing Weekend or Short Racing Weekend.
