F1 2009 racing out on Wii and PSP, other versions lag behind a year

Fans of F1 racing will be well-served this year -- if they have a Wii or PSP. Codemasters told Autosport that the Sumo Digital-developed F1 2009 will launch exclusively on the Wii and PSP. According to Autosport's description of features, "F1 2009 will use all of this year's cars, teams and tracks - including the Singapore night race, the Valencia Marina Bay circuit and the new Abu Dhabi season finale. The game will also include KERS, slick tyres and the new aerodynamic regulations."

Erstwhile Formula 1 racers will have to wait until 2010 to take the driving simulator for a ride on their Xbox 360, PS3, or PC: Codemasters has decided to take the extra time to work on F1 2010 for HD consoles. "And in the meantime we're able to produce a high quality game on Wii and PSP within the timescale," Codemasters' Adrian Laughton told IGN. "The Wii is the biggest platform in the world now, so why not have a fully featured comprehensive racer for it?"
