I found this game entertaining... Although not my favourite, it should appeal so any budding champions with £7.95 in their pockets. Read Review
There's nothing too much wrong with this game, but then there's not a lot to get excited about either. Read Review
Have you the potential to be a champion Formula 1 driver? Find out when you race on these 8 famous circuits around the world. For 1 or 2 players. Joysticks required.
You will be asked to select various options when the game starts. Difficulty level affects momentum, oil and the tracks and crashes.
Tracks are numbered from 1 - 8 are are taken from the following Grand Prix racetracks around the world:
The number of laps is the length of the race and can be numbered from 1 - 9.
Number of players can be 1 or 2. Each player requires a joystick. If only one player is playing, the joystick should be plugged into the right hand joystick port.
The first player will be driving the red car, and the second player will be driving the green car. Time is displayed on the real time clock at the top of the screen with lap counters on either side. An arrow at the start line shows the direction to drive around the track.
At low levels of difficulty your car will start and stop immediately, but at higher levels you will have to slow down for corners.
Collisions can occur if you:
At lower levels of difficulty, the collision might not be fatal, but at higher levels you won't get another chance!
Oil will appear as blue patches on the track at some of the higher levels of difficulty. It is very slippery - so drive through it carefully or you might not be able to stop.
Drive fast and free!!
Movement is controlled by the joysticks. Point the joystick in the direction you want to go and press the Fire button to accelerate. Release the Fire button to apply your brakes.

Note that for a faster game, you can load the game with the following poke:
