Codemasters has officially unveiled the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming F1 2011 game release with the video teaser landing alongside a new selection of in-game screenshots.

Following the unveiling of the first F1 2011 screenshots last month, Codemasters has revealed further details on the follow-up to last year’s BAFTA award winning F1 gaming release offering the first look at gameplay footage.

“This first gameplay trailer for F1 2011 gives an insight into some of the innovations and enhancements in the official game of the 2011 FIA FORMULA ONE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP™,” a spokesperson for Codemasters has announced.

“The trailer shows exciting wheel to wheel racing, enhanced by KERS and DRS, as well as highlighting improved garage, paddock, pit lane and Parc Fermé cinematics that further immerse the player into the life of a FORMULA ONE driver.”

With an F1 2011 UK release date of September 23rd for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC titles, developer Codemasters has revealed that handheld editions of the racing sim will land at a later date with a PS Vita offering already confirmed.
