In the video below, Daniel Ricciardo guides players through the Circuit of The Americas in the sim rig.

To support new and existing players ahead of the race weekend, the studio partnered with Daniel Ricciardo to create a guide with his top tips, tricks and inner secrets on how to get around the Austin circuit the fastest way possible. Told through his personal experience and charismatic personality, Ricciardo digs into technical knowledge, such as braking points, tough turns, passing and DRS zones, and explains what it takes to conquer the track. Afterwards, fans can put their new skills to the test by taking on the Ricciardo Hot Lap Challenge and post their fastest lap of Circuit of the Americas using #RicciardoChallenge and #F122gameSweepstakes from October 20 to 24. A participant will be selected at random on October 28 to win a virtual meet & greet and race-off with Daniel Ricciardo himself.
