World Circuit: The Grand Prix Race Simulation (1991)
Genres:Sport, Racing
Themes:Non-fiction
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Formula 1 Grand Prix (known as World Circuit in the US) is the first installment of Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix series. The game includes all 16 international GP circuits of 1991. Players may drive them in quick race mode, single race or a full championship. The 18 teams and 35 drivers and their performance are based on the 1991 season, but the game doesn't include real names. It is possible to edit and save team and driver names by hand.
The extensive tuning feature influences the performance of the car. In-race setup allows players to adjust gear ratios, brake balance, wing downforce and tires during each visit to the pit box. Six optional driving aids help F1 rookies finish their race: players can toggle best line and suggested gear displays to learn track tactics, or have auto brakes, auto gears, self-righting spins and indestructibility to improve their driving. A replay system allows players to watch race scenes from three different views, including track-side camera footage.
The game features 3D graphics and various details and effects such as working rear mirrors, collisions with flying debris, crude damage models (wings are visibly bent after crashes), and wet weather that influences traction, including a fog effect that obscures vision when driving in another car's splash water.
While the Amiga version allows multiplayer races in hotseat mode, the PC version originally had solo races only. In 1993, the v1.05 update added modem support and a few other improvements.Show more

This is one of my all-time favourite games. So complete and yet so simple. You have the main car setup options for an F1 of the early 90s, and every variable does something sensible and noticeable to the car's behaviour. I've played endless seasons, promoting myself to better teams as I got better (one unrealistic aspect of the game is that you can be equally fast on any car, provided you get the setup right and get good), only leaving the top 2 teams alone so they provide strong competition. My memories of this game made it hard for me to play other racing games: while the graphics and some physics improved, they all seemed so arcade-y in comparison. Even if in a crude manner, this game had every important aspect of driving an F1 car already there as a game mechanic. I think the only game to surpass it was its sequel.
I have played it on DOSBox decades later, but something is off, like I'm easily 4 seconds faster than everyone - and I don't think I got better by aging and not playing the game! So I hope a proper port can fix it, or maybe some careful emulator configuration.
Mario Kart WiiMario Kart Wii is a multiplayer-oriented racing game for the Wii, and the sixth main installment in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart Wii retains the traditional item-based weaponry familiar with the franchise, where players can select a Mario franchise driver and themed vehicles. As with most racing games, the overarching goal is to place first among other competitors, through the usage of such items and taking the fastest routes to secure the leads. Several new key elements introduced to Mario Kart Wii include increasing the number of racers to 12 racers from 8 racers from previous entries in the series, as well as introducing a new type of vehicle to the franchise: bikes. The game takes advantage of features unique to the Wii, most notably its motion control capabilities. A Wii Wheel is included in most Mario Kart Wii packages, though the game is still compatible with other controllers. Game modes are also present such as the traditional Grand Prix, Versus, Battle, and Time Trial modes.Action Comedy Party
