Ever wonder why the latest F1 24 game feels more like an arcade racer than a genuine simulator? Join us as we tackle this and more on the Chicane Podcast. Jason Rivera returns from his European vacation, bringing fresh perspectives, while Eric Kelly celebrates his graduation from the leadership program of the 100 Black Men of America, sharing the profound impact he's making on young lives. Eric and Jeff offer no-holds-barred reviews of F1 24, voicing their frustrations over its "arcadey" feel and lack of essential features like mouse support. Together, we speculate on EA's development choices and the future direction of the franchise.

Our conversation doesn't stop there. We shift gears to tackle the broader implications of EA's yearly release cycle and explore whether taking a development break could yield a more polished product. Drawing parallels with the recent improvements in the NCAA college football game, we consider if such a hiatus could benefit the F1 series. We also discuss the disappointing state of F1 24's online multiplayer mode, comparing it to the consistent updates and superior online experience offered by iRacing. This segment is packed with insights for anyone frustrated with the current state of racing games.

Finally, we dive into the future of Formula 1, exploring the 2026 regulations that promise more powerful hybrid engines and 100% sustainable fuel. We debate the potential impact on the sport's tradition and excitement, especially with concerns coming from major teams like Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes. Along the way, we touch on the environmental impact of electric vehicles, Apple's sustainability claims, and even some updates on sim racing peripherals for PS5 users. Plus, we celebrate a podcast milestone of surpassing 200 downloads and tease the exciting possibility of a future video podcast. Don't miss out on this engaging episode filled with candid reviews, insightful discussions, and valuable tips for sim racing enthusiasts.
