The Circuit Zandvoort and the Hanoi Street Circuit - circuits which are new to the championship in 2020 - will be included in the game despite the cancellation of the Dutch Grand Prix and the postponement the Vietnamese Grand Prix. The 70th Anniversary Grand Prix, the Eifel Grand Prix, the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, the Portuguese Grand Prix, the Styrian Grand Prix and the Tuscan Grand Prix, six events that were added to the 2020 calendar, are not included as well as the Nürburgring, the Imola Circuit, the Portimão Circuit and the Mugello Circuit, as they use circuits that host other events. F1 2020 introduces a team management feature known as "My Team" which allows the player to create and run an eleventh team. The player will initially need to choose an engine supplier, recruit a second driver, design a livery and sign sponsors. As the career mode progresses, they will be able to upgrade the facilities at their team's headquarters and hire staff to continue development. This supplements the development tree used to upgrade the car. Codemasters had previously used the My Team mode in Dirt 4, a part of the Dirt Rally franchise. In career mode players now have the choice to do a half or a full Formula 2 season or only do three races as in F1 2019; however, there will not be a story to go with it in the game. When playing in Formula 1, players can choose between three different season lengths of ten, sixteen or twenty-two races. They will also be able to create a custom calendar should they choose a shorter season length. The game introduces driver ratings for the first time, with drivers given a score out of ninety-nine for experience, racecraft, awareness, pace. The experience score provides additional 'resource points' to enable the player to upgrade their car faster in the "My Team" and "Career" modes, racecraft relates to the effectiveness of the driver's attempts at overtaking, a higher awareness score improves the ability of the driver to maintain control of their car in difficult situations and pace relates to the driver's ability to set quick lap times. The scores are derived from real life data and applies to F2 drivers as well as those from F1. The game also continued the series' trend of including historical Formula One cars as downloadable content, and features four cars driven by Michael Schumacher. These include the Jordan 191, Benetton B194, Benetton B195 and the Ferrari F1-2000. Further DLC is planned to celebrate the sport's seventieth anniversary. Podium Pass is new to F1 2020 and will allow players to unlock cosmetic items, such as liveries, race suits and celebration animations. A VIP Podium Pass can also be purchased.
