Codemasters have revealed the final classic cars which will be included in the latest edition of its official Formula 1 game, F1 2017, which comes out on August 25.
The previously announced McLaren MP4/4 will be joined by the MP4/6, raced by Ayrton Senna and Gerhard Berger in 1991, with the former taking his third and final drivers' title that year whilst the car would secure the constructors' championship.
The 1998 title winning MP4-13, driven by champion Mika Häkkinen and David Coulthard will also be available, as will Lewis Hamilton's title-winning MP4-23, which was also driven by Heikki Kovalainen.
"It's pretty hard to pick just four significant McLaren Formula 1 cars – so all credit to the people at Codemasters for choosing these iconic, championship-winning machines," commented McLaren executive director Zak Brown.
"I don’t think you’d be able to get away without choosing 1988’s MP4/4 – it’s probably the most iconic F1 car of the last 40 years, a machine that looks as sleek and fast today as when it was first raced. And it’s superbly complemented by another Senna car, the V12-engined MP4/6; Mika Hakkinen’s beautiful, silver-liveried MP4-13, and Lewis Hamilton’s jaw-droppingly complex MP4-23.
"If you’re a gamer, or a McLaren fan of any era, then I think you’re going to want to race these cars in Codemasters’ F1 2017."
They join a list of already iconic classic's from the past, including the Williams FW14B, Ferrari 412, Renault R26 and the Red Bull RB6.
