If you’re familiar with Codemasters, you probably know this developer doesn’t let a year go by without dropping a new F1 game on the market. The F1 series is based on the Formula One World Championship, a yearly racing event that pits some of the fastest cars on the planet against one another. These games are sims, which means they’re all about realism. So if peeling through real tracks in actual cars at upwards of 200 miles an hour sounds like your kind of fun, this game should be on your radar. Notable features in this installment include the 2017 cars as well as a number of classic cars, which haven’t shown up in the series since F1 2013.

F1 2017 is set to launch on August 25, 2017 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. If you’re thinking of picking it up, you’ll want to know what kind of preorder bonuses and special editions will be on offer when it comes out. Read on, and we’ll cover everything you need to know.

F1 2017 Day One Edition

Price: $60

F1 2017 will launch with a Day One Edition. It comes with the standard game, plus this bonus download:

• 1988 McLaren MP4/4 as DLC.

While they’re officially calling this car a preorder bonus, you probably don’t have to preorder the game to get it. Just buy it close to launch, and you’ll likely receive the Day One Edition. And even if you miss the window, you’ll still be able to download the McLaren later as paid DLC.

Now the only question is where to buy F1 2017. Here’s a list of all the major retailers offering preorders right now.
