Grand Prix Circuit PC

Grand Prix Circuit are Formula 1 racing cars with a typically arcade character. The game was prepared by the Distinctive Software team - the same that previously did the famous Test Drive for Accolade.

You can choose from three types of games (training, single race or full world championship), three cars (Williams Renault, McLaren Honda, Ferrari) and eight tracks (United Kingdom, Japan, Italy, United States, Germany, Brazil, Canada, Monaco). In addition, we can still raise the difficulty level, enter your name and decide how many laps you want to drive during the race (1-99).

Just like in real Formula 1 competitions, before the actual race there are qualifications that will decide on the setting up of the cars at the start of the race. During the race, our task is to complete one lap as quickly as possible. Once we know the order of the participants of the main competitions, we start fighting for points in the World Championship, competing with other drivers. It should be remembered that the car is not made of rubber and even at the easiest level of difficulty it is not difficult to have an accident. Destroying the front spoilers automatically ends the game. In addition, the player must pay close attention to the state of wear of the tyres, which is symbolized by the indicator above the steering wheel (red color indicates critical state). Tyres can be replaced in the box, and this has to be done very quickly, as wasting a lot of time can have fatal consequences.

Grand Prix Circuit is an interesting product, solidly made both in terms of audiovisual and substantive. Sometimes a little annoying can be the behaviour of a computer opponent who never has to go down the box and the inability to switch from automatic to manual gearbox without changing the level of difficulty.
