F1 Race Stars

F1 Race Stars is a video game developed by Codemasters, released in November 2012. It is a kart racing game loosely based on the 2012 Formula One season, with circuits redesigned to feature loops, jumps and short-cuts. It is a spin-off from the traditional Formula One video games, and is the first kart-racing game developed by Codemasters. The player is able to choose cartoonish versions of Formula One racing drivers, such as World Champion Sebastian Vettel, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso. It was announced on July 13, 2012 at the San Diego Comic-Con International. Codemasters have described the game as being designed to emphasise entertainment rather than simulation.
