To celebrate the 2013 F1 season and to celebrate their global sponsorship of Mercedes McLaren and Jenson Button, Vodafone have developed a new game called ‘Lap Racer’. The game is a 3/4 view racing game where you control Jenson’s F1 car around the track. While the controls are basic, getting a good lap time is not.
Lead foots will end up being slower if you enter a turn too fast and hit a wall. Although the camera is locked, the 3D graphics are pretty decent, showing off that gorgeous car with the feeling of a real track including overhead bridges and shadows.
