Codemasters have begin enlisting volunteers to beta test their upcoming venture.

From today those curious to see what Online will be all about will be able to put their names forward to be considered for beta-testing the new title.

F1 Online is a combination of top-down and a management simulation that will allow F1 fanatics to create and manage their own F1 team and compete with friends online for Red Bull-style dominance.

Codemasters are set to launch F1 Online fully in the first quarter of 2012 and those interested in being beta testers can register on the game's official website.
