The briefing

About this game

Formula 1 Simulator is a racing simulation focused on realistic driving technique. Players race across ten international circuits, with one circuit available in the Commodore 16 version.

The selection includes traditional venues such as Monza, Monaco, and Silverstone, alongside former circuits including Zandvoort and the Österreichring. Races can take place in wet or dry conditions, and players can choose between manual and automatic gears.

Braking points and acceleration must be managed carefully to achieve a strong lap time. The Sinclair ZX Spectrum version also includes a steering-wheel control option using a disc along the top of the keyboard for progressive steering.
