I am not going to lie... I spend a big amount of time in this game when I was a child, the progression, the upgrades, the management, wow... was a new kind of game for me.

For me, it's was a gem, It wasn't easy to reach F1 and you can't "save" xD the game.

Anyone here know or play this? it's a niche... but maybe.

For me ultimate F1 game was Grand Prix Circuit (or how we called it - GPEGA, because for EGA video adapter executable was GPEGA.EXE).

I never played that one. I had Atari 800XL and then I had PCs (286, 486, P1...), so I never really experienced console gaming 😕

I played Indy 500 on a PC a lot though 😀 That one was solid.

Well... in my country, this "console" tech, arrive with delay like 5 or 6 year after it was release, and only one or two guy in the town have one... and of course we made a line in the afternoon hahaha.

For me, this one was the first game of "races" that was more focus in "management".

I also had stuff delayed for probably similar reasons. Yeah, that's the benefit of post-communist countries, we experienced technological boom in a shorter timeframe 😀
