The Game requires a 3D accelerator card to run, it provides support for 3Dfx, Rendition Verite, Matrox Mystique and 3DLabs Permedia according to the box.
There are 17 tracks, 13 actual F1 teams from the 1995 season, with 35
actual F1 drivers... all based on Formula 1 Association specs.
Arcade and Grand Prix are the gameplay options, but you can't see any
difference between the two. No matter how you look at it, this is an arcade
racing game. There's no bumping into and destroying other cars. You won't
see these cars catching air like they do in Grand Prix II, and slamming
into the barriers doesn't even stop you with damage turned on. Simulation?
No way. Arcade racing? No doubt about it! (According to the review at www.pcme.com)
The 17 tracks are as follows...
Drivers include names like Damon Hill, Michael Schumacher and Nigel Mansel, but you can't be yourself. It's any of the included drivers with their cars based on the 1995 season, or nothing at all.
