One of the very last commercially released on the Spectrum, this is quite a nice racing game, well detailed graphics with nice music it certainly plays a lot better than other racing games on the Speccy. I was very impressed with this, I can't see myself doing a full season in the game but I'll definately play this again.

After the 88's 'Nigel Mansell's Grand Prix' that never really appealed to me even thou it was a very nice game, the Gremlin folks come up with the last great F1 race game and in my view the best ever produced to the Spectrum.

There is really very little to say against and mainly it resides in the limitations of the spectrum itself, but nitpicking, I can say i would prefer the race track to be in a solid colour so the cars would be more detailed, but this was the author esthetic approach.
Also as the game view is from a low point, as if driving the car, the race track becames confusing at times.
Like I said, this is nitpicking, and overall this is a fabulous game.

According to Wikipedia, this was the very last game released on the Spectrum during its commercial heyday. It has some nice presentation to it and it has a great simulator feel to it with the customisable options you can make to your car. The graphics are mostly colourless but there's plenty of detail in the cars anyway to make up for it. All in all this is really good and it was a good way for the Spectrum to bow out of the commercial business. Gremlin could have been half-assed with their final release, but thankfully they weren't.
