Download F1 World Championship Edition

F1 World Championship Edition is a highly underrated F1 racing simulation, released in 1994 by Domark. The game gives you a chance to drive an F1 car in all 16 circuits on the FIA calendar in that year.

F1 World Championship Edition offers several options: you can choose between different game modes (Arcade, Training, Racing). In the moment when you will config your car settings in preparing to the race you have to choose whether you want automatic or manual transmission, and the number of laps in the race. It's also possible to play against another friend by using the internet which is a very important feature in the game. In this game you have a scale with 4 types of difficulties to choose being: Novice, Amateur, Expert and Professional.

Before you begin playing the game you have to go to setup, and map your keys. The Arcade mode is in my opinion the best of the game, because it's where you feel the most the game. You can almost make it through every turn without losing the brakes – not very realistic, but it gives you a lot of fun. Finish in the top 3 in each of the 5 tracks, and you'll win the game.

The Racing mode is of course more realistic and longer: you have to complete the season of F1, starting with qualifying rounds. You can use the set-up for your car before the race, and visit pit stops during each race for re-fuelling and little adjustments. Steering, and controlling the car are more difficult than in Arcade mode, and a lot of practice is need to good in this game, especially since computer opponents are hard to beat.

F1 World Championship Edition will give you many hours of fun, especially when you are driving downhill at 200 mph, or your car bumps into other cars and flies in the air. It is not a serious racing simulation, and if you are looking for an F1 game full of realism, you will be disappointed with this game because it is an arcade-style racing game. I give it 3 of 5 stars.
