Today we’re very happy to announce the final dates for the F1 2012 demo! Starting next week the demo will be available on the following dates.

• Xbox 360 - 10/09/12
• PlayStation 3 - (USA) 11/09/12
• PC via Steam - 11/09/12
• PlayStation 3 - (EU) 12/09/12
• PlayStation 3 - (Japan) 24/09/12

The F1 2012 demo will allow players to try out two of the game’s new features, the first day of the Young Driver Test and the first race of Season Challenge at Monza!

It should be noted that the game’s toughest A.I difficulty does not feature in the demo. The Legend A.I difficulty option is only present in Career and Quick Race, both available in the main game.

In conjunction with the demo’s release we’ll also be running a competition to win some awesome F1 2012 prizes. We will be revealing more about this in the next few days right here on our blog.

If you have any questions regarding the demo please let us know! We can’t wait to hear what you think.

Why on earth do USA get this first on PS3!? They don't even like F1! :L

[#3]

It's due to when the PSN stores update Wooly, nothing we can control I'm afraid.

[#4]

That sucks . Still, can't wait for the demo. I've remained relatively quiet about this game (unlike the other 2 on the old forums) and I have at least some hope

[#5]

Tweeted the same message, but is there a reason for Xbox receiving the demo before Steam?

[#6]

Cant wait - any idea of what time of day the demo's will be out (specifically the PC version as that will be the one i'll be playing?)

[#7]

I never win anything in competitions.

[#8]

I am very excited about this game coming out, it's the first time I have pre-ordered anything ever haha. Looking forward to getting my hands on the demo :-D

[#9]

Looking forward to September 11th

Right, first critical bit, there is a spelling mistake in your release (you missed the T off the end of Next)

Second bit! The demo news is exciting, is there any features related to actual gameplay that will not be available, or only functioning in a BETA manner (e.g. Kers, Pitstops, Safety Cars etc etc) and will we restricted to very certain settings in terms of tyre (or tire) wear, fuel, breaking aids (both the cornering, and auto breaking) and the number of laps we are able to drive?

[#11]

When can we pre-order F1 2012 for PC on Steam?

[#12]

@L33TPilot - Very soon!

[#13]

Thanks,

[#14]

Can we modify the setup on the Season Challenge at Monza please?

thx

[#15]

Will we be able to adjust the graphics settings in the demo?

And can I run the game on high settings (not ulttra) with a 5750;  I5 750@2.67GHz (QC) and 4GB of RAM on Win7 x64?

[#16]

Pretty sure yes and yes. 

[#17]

@L33TPilot  Who have you replied to?

Excellent! Made my GP Weekend! I'll be exploring the Demo like crazy! Do you know what time the Demo Hits the Xbox Live Marketplace in Australia? And will I be able to Race in the McLaren in the Demo or is it the Lotus from the Gamescom Build?

darksiders9999, you're so right...

Anyway why people always complain ?? Be happy they release the demo and before the game is in the store. Enjoy it or play the sims.

[#24]

Thanks for the late Birthday present codies.

[#25]

Good news, I'm going to do free running in the dry and wet constantly in the YTD for the next two weeks!

[#26]

@wooly51 haha you are so ignorant it makes me smile... F1 is very popular here in Indianapolis and all over the USA... image if the USA didn't get it at all, would you still complain about the date you will recieve it? probably not. you sound like you are three... relax and let everyone enjoy the best racing on earth

[#27]

THANKS !!

[#28]

Now because we are getting a demo in November does that mean that F1 2012 has been pushed back the release date?
