To kick off the new season of Formula One Racing let’s take a moment to remember the good old days, when you play a F1 simulator game as an entire team, not just one driver, and you could ram every other car off the road and still not be disqualified. It was also extremely detailed for something made before real 3D graphics were actually a thing.
I loved this game so much as a kid. I’m pretty sure this was a major reason I properly got into F1. It came as one of the free games I got with my Amiga 600 aged 7 (back in 1992).
It was so advanced for its time with the car setups etc.
I remember playing 100% race distances, but quickly realising that it was quicker just to take out every opposition car, do enough laps to be in 1st place, then turn invulnerability off and crash myself to finish the race after only a handful of laps!
I’ve still got the manual somewhere. They don’t make guides like that anymore. It is more like an almanac!
