No F1 2010 demo, says Codemasters

Deadlines mean "it will not be possible".

Codemasters has confirmed there will be no playable demo for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 racer F1 2010.

The news comes via the Codemasters forum. Moderator SynGamer quotes community manager Ian Webster as saying, "Due to the nature of the game, and its layers of licensed content, it will not be possible to make a cut-down, limited content sample that would serve as a demo for F1 in 2010 within our production deadlines."

F1 2010 is due out on 30th September. You can find a hands-on preview plus all manner of screenshots and videos over on the gamepage.
