Formula One racing management simulation
The briefing
Formula One combines racing management with arcade-style pit-stop action. Keep your cars raceworthy while balancing a budget for engine and chassis upgrades and improvements to your pit crew.
Before each race, qualifying is followed by tyre selection for every car. Expected weather conditions are provided, including the possibility of rain, making tyre choice an important part of preparation.
Races are presented through a timing board showing the leading six cars, along with flashing car images and messages about pit entries, crashes, spins, and technical problems. Drivers can be called in for pit stops, where tyres are changed individually through a timing-based arcade sequence.
