At a recent press event for F1 2011, chief game designer Steve Hood has revealed he'd "love" to make a new game in the TOCA series, the last of which was based around the British Touring Car Championship.
The F1 24 announcement seems imminent, as the Champions Edition cover and details have surfaced in F1 23's game files after the latest patch.
To Sony, and so many other companies in this industry, the short-term satisfaction and happiness of their shareholders means so much more to them than their employees, their products, and their customers.
Apologies, don't know how the above comment ended up here while it clearly should have gone to other article about the Sony lay-offs. Please delete.

Codemasters owner EA confirmed the redundancies in a statement issued to IGN, although failed to disclose the number of staff affected."
Speaking during an earnings call, EA chiefs are confident that the Codemasters Birmingham team can continue to progress with the Formula 1 games.
Strength in game quality or in Microtransactions? Literally no EA game goes from strength to strength in quality, ask Battlefield fans.
Oh man, yes please! The TOCA series is my quintessential racing favorite on consoles ever. Massive amount of real world tracks, plethora of racing disciplines, full structural/mechanical damage on every car, cockpit view, frequent random mistakes by the A.I., and an integrated story. Make it happen already Codemasters! Oh, and stay away from GRID's arcadey mechanics.
TOCA 3 is in one of my greatest games of all time, if they anounce TOCA 4 i'll probably dump GT5, well untill GT6 ofcoz, Come on do it Codies
What about doing World Touring Car Championships (WTCC) I've still got toca for PS1 lol and it was one of the best games I'd played apart from Colin McRae 2.0 which I have still got also .
TOCA was brilliant.
Played that non-stop. Would be nice to see it comeback.
Ah the fun it was to drive around in tank in TOCA Touring Car Championship :D
