Synopsis

Geoff Crammond's landmark F1 sim, built on the 1994 season with all sixteen tracks and a physics model that took setup seriously. Tyre wear, fuel load and wet weather all matter here, and the AI actually races you instead of running a line. For a lot of people this is still the benchmark every F1 game since has been measured against.
