The F1 event unit under the FIA (International Automobile Federation) announced earlier that it will cooperate with Codemasters' "F1 2017" game and is expected to hold a large-scale e-sports event starting in September.
根據Codemasters說明，此次與F1合作舉辦的Formula 1 Esports Series電競賽事預計從9月起展開，將由各地區參賽者透過《F1 2017》進行首波資格認證賽，預計在10月11日-12日由入選40名選手於英國倫敦展開準決賽，並且於11月24日-25日間於阿布達比Yas Marina賽道由20名選手進行總決賽。而在此場賽事獲得最終冠軍者，將獲得遊戲內稱號及成為明年賽事種子選手資格，並且可在明年計畫推出的《F1 2018》遊戲內以選手身分登場。
"F1 2017" is expected to be released globally on August 8th, and will be available on PlayStation 25, Xbox One and Windows PC platforms. However, the FIA and Codemasters have not yet announced the platform versions expected to be used for the event, nor have they announced details such as the designated controller for the event.
This is not the first time that the FIA has collaborated with gaming content. Gran Turismo: Competizione, which is expected to be launched on October 10 this year, will work with the FIA.Licensure Examination Certification, allowing players to obtain an FIA-certified professional driver's license through in-game exams. However, although players can obtain an FIA-certified license through in-game exams, whether it can be recognized in actual use still depends on the approval of the various racing organizations.
