PayPalEyes on the road racing fans, as F1 2015 is currently going free to grab a permanent copy and F1 2017 has a free weekend with sale.
On the Humble Store, for little over a day left you can grab a copy of F1 2015. While Humble Store doesn't mention Linux support with a platform icon, it does support Linux (it's a Steam key) and they do list Feral Interactive as the developer and publisher for Linux.
Meanwhile on Steam, if you fancy something more recent (and much better overall) you can try F1 2017 for free for two days and it's also on sale with 70% off if you like it!
Pretty good weekend for those interesting in racing games but haven't checked out either yet.
Also, totally unrelated but you can also grab a copy of Lethal League for free from Fanatical.

F1 2017 does not run. It spits some message about a bug in my nvidia driver (same as Hitman that runs fine) and then nothing, stops running.
Tried to run it from terminal, but nope:
Any ideas? Is it the bug in the driver?

F1 2017 uses Vulkan API only so you'll need the Nvidia proprietary driver v384.90 or better.

Cool, F1 2015 is the only Feral game that I've not bought, my collection is now complete!

I have to say - impressive! F1 2017 runs very smoothly on my GTX 760 and I remembered as a game that requires quite beefy hardware. And then I realized it uses Vulkan! Amazing!
Very temped to shell out for it. I haven't driven around with lot of games lately, but this looks very good.

Tried it quickly but even with my GTX1070 and highest settings the text etc. is hardly readable.
Any ideas?

At 1080p Ultra High I get 62fps average on F1 2015 and 72fps avg on F1 2017.
Plus, F1 2017 is so much better, this is the true F1 2013 successor.
But, what a F1 lover can do...it's like Football Manager, this year's iteration is one of the worst ever, but still I enjoy playing it.

Thanks! That is it - I have driver version 390.42, but my system is compiled without Vulkan support. Time to recompile all the related packages :-)
