F1 Racing Simulation (intro)

I remember F1 Racing Simulation as one of the better attempts to launch a competitor to GP2. This game sported really good (3D accelerated) graphics for this time, and the introduction movie is a classic. Still not as good a game as GP2, though. IIRC the game was based on the 1996 F1 season. Its sequel, Monaco Grand Prix Racing Simulation 2 (what a name!), was quite similar but didn't have an F1 license.

..I recently got F1 2k11 but .. again... it just doesn't have the same "vibe" as this game or Grand Prix 2 had. Either that, or I'm just getting old.

Plus it has great presentation, and official timing screen, comprehensive practice/qualifying/ race results, great AI, failures and decent physics. How codemasters can't make a game this good 14 years later, they should be ashamed.

If you can find a copy on ebay, and like sims, buy it! :)

@salvasirignano F1 2010 left some things to be desired, I hope Codemasters fix things up for the 2011 version (and what's up with the colours in that engine of theirs?! Ferrari's are not brown!)

Does there exist demo for this one?

[samortails]

@oposum94 yes, there is one, but it might be difficult to find because it's quite old.

Where i can download this game plz??? i desperate on search this....

[salvasirignano]

@samortails I hope so too!

Does anybody have the "driver x"patch by the way? All the links for it on the internet are dead, and I would be really grateful for it! :)

[salvasirignano]

This game is amazing, I just got it from ebay today!

The driving mechanics are great, you get a great sense of under/oversteer and can control powerslides out of the corners! :O

I honestly think it is a better game to play than F1 2010 is you forget the graphics.

i'll try and put up some gampelay footage if possible :)

@samortails I had tried to find but the both links dont work on the site which I was searching for...... If anyone has got the idea where I can find one please let me know for that;)
