Overview
Description

Experience the 1999 Formula One season with authentic circuits, including the brand-new Sepang track. All drivers from the season are featured, each employing their real-world strategies and techniques. Two distinct modes let you choose between ultra-realistic simulation and arcade-style racing, complemented by a driving school, time attack, world championship, and split-screen duel for up to two players.

Formula 1: Championship Edition updates Psygnosis' original F1 game with every driver, car and circuit from the 1997 season. Players can choose between an accessible arcade mode or a more realistic Grand Prix simulation, delivering both casual fun and serious racing depth. The PC release adds higher resolution visuals and a split‑screen multiplayer option, letting friends compete head‑to‑head while enjoying authentic tracks and vehicle performance from the era.
