The ninth installment in Codemasters' Formula One racing series, F1 2017, will launch on August 25 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

This year's entry will include the return of classic F1 cars for the first time since F1 2013. The game will feature 12 of these classic cars, one of which is the 1988 McLaren MP4/4, which will be available for those who preorder or purchase  the"Day One" copies of F1 2017. Alternatively, the McLaren MP4/4 will be available for purchase to all at a later date.

The other eleven classic cars will be available in all editions of the game. Along with online multiplayer modes and time trial, players will also be able to race in different classic F1 cars in the career mode for the first time in the series. You can check out the game's first trailer below.

F1 2017 will also feature numerous multiplayer enhancements, a new game mode called Championships, and a deeper career mode.
