Which one is DC?

MrMG

Here's something that many people overlooked in F1 97:

Pressing select on the second controller during a race allowed you to switch to trackside view, or view any other car.

(This was also in the original F1, but you just did it with the controller you were using)

How to make Mansell more interesting?

Have Rik Mayall play him!

MrMG

There were cheats in the original F1, off the top of my head: Bonus Track unlocked Track replaced by lava Bike mode (Cars replaced by 2 wheels and a bit of suspension) Big Wheel mode Gibberish mode (My personal favourite: Murray's commentary became completely random. Loved hitting random cars to hea...

MrMG

A quick note: Grand Prix 2 had the official Formula 1 license, and it was 3D as well. It also predates this one IIRC. It did, although (and my mind/age may be playing tricks on me) I vaguely remember it being pulled from shelves (here in the UK anyway) due to some sort of dispute over licencing. It...

MrMG

Personally I reckon that Mansell might have started strong, no wins but a couple of podiums. Then would get more frustrated by all the reliability issues (which cost Coulthard multiple wins) and pack it in mid-season when he realised Schumacher was running away with it (Hill would just be the other ...

MrMG

I can't believe this one hasn't been asked yet:

What if Williams took the option for Mansell in 1995?

MrMG

Yep F1 99 did it too. You could race as Sarazzin in the Minardi, and Mika Salo fans could have him race for either BAR or Ferrari! (He also replaces Schumacher for the rest of the season after Silverstone, since the game was released before Malaysia) I remember F1 WGP on N64 (and its sequel) had rea...

MrMG

There is a rare version of this where Mansell is actually in the Mclaren! But better was F1'97 the original version of that had mastercard Lola playable, but it got recalled and they were removed from the code. If you are good with an action replay or gameshark cartridge you might be able to find t...

MrMG

Oh right. THE FRAK IS UP WITH THE DIRECTORS THIS YEAR? Totally craptasticular TV direction race in race out. a tense fight in the midpack? Better show the Mercs cruising in solitude. A tight intra-team battle for the win, with the 2nd place guy attempting an overtake? HEY, HERE IS HIS GIRLFRIEND! O...

MrMG

I remember my brother playing GPM and signing Barrichello and Coulthard for a year at Williams. Barrichello dominated the first half of the championship then had a crash a Silverstone which put him out for 2 years!

He was forced to sign Inoue as his replacement, Williams went bankrupt shortly after.

MrMG

I'm going to nominate the director, for showing cutaways of people watching the race while exciting things were happening on track. This! It was like those kid-friendly edits of WWE, where as soon as something interesting happens, they cut to random crowd shots to cover it up. Whoever directed the ...

MrMG

He did, was interviewed by the BBC during the race and outright blamed Bianchi.

DC was quick to rubbish him on it.

MrMG

I remember falling asleep whilst watching a particularly boring GP back in 99/2000 and dreaming that Hakkinen had crashed into a swimming pool (Note: The track wasn't Monaco!) Also another dream where the FIA Gala was held in an industrial estate near my old house. Nobody could find Barrichello as h...

MrMG

Yeah I remember the performance getting more realistic on the higher difficulties. it's really noticable if you drive the McLaren. It suddenly becomes a brick on low-speed corners.

MrMG

Great article Loved that game. Something to mention is whilst the default qualifying times are the real 1995 ones, if you let Qualiying run for a while, eventually the AI start setting faster times. If you quit Qualifying, the times remain static. This means if Inoue or Deletraz go fastest, you can ...

MrMG

What if Coulthard agreed to replace Irvine for 1998?
What if James Hunt's attempted 1990 comeback with Williams actually went ahead?
Speaking of James, what would he think of Hamilton? I'd love to be able to hear that!

Thinking of the tracks that the FIA would actually approve for F1, this is my list: 1: Australian Grand Prix - Melbourne 2: Brazilian Grand Prix - Interlagos 3: Spanish Grand Prix - Catalunya 4: San Marino Grand Prix - Imola 5: Monaco Grand Prix - Monte Carlo 6: Mexico Grand Prix - Mexico City 7: Un...

MrMG

I admittedly know as much as anyone else not connected to him (i.e, nothing), but I remember a while ago didn't his manager say something along the lines of once the recovery phase started then it would become a private family matter and there would be no more updates? Although I suppose if that wa...

MrMG

Yep they sure are!

MrMG

- Have a race like a 'wildcard' race. Example: We have Imola as European GP, then the next year we have Brands Hatch as European GP. Then the next year we go to other countries, not have to be the country that already have a GP. We can have Scandinavia, Rijeka, Portugal and etc, I like this idea. I...

MrMG

Room for 2 more? Both from 1995:

Powerhouse
Rebound

I was pointed in the right direction for the first, then lo-and-behold, the other was on the same album!

MrMG

Here's one I didn't see mentioned, unless I skimmed past it: Only driver to win 2 consecutive GPs held in the same country : Damon Hill. Damon won the season finale in Adelaide in 1995, then also won the 1996 opener in Melbourne. A very unique record and probably won't be beat anytime soon! Ah not ...

MrMG

Have a few more from 1994

Energize
Action Hero
Morning Mood - EASY one to find!

MrMG

For now e-cig advertising seems pretty much legal everywhere (I've seen TV ads), and if it's banned in the future I guess sports sponsorship will be included in that. I actually recently noticed that the UK E-Cig TV ads never actually show the product in question, guess that's a big restriction. Wo...

MrMG

It does indeed

MrMG

How about this one?

Brundle's clearly farted.

MrMG

You're welcome

I was glad to get hold of it, luckily someone found it for me and I'm really grateful

That was one I've been hunting down for years!

I also found 2 of the 1995 tracks, one of which plays over the footage of Katayama's exploits!

Communique
Techtronic

MrMG

Here's another one, kindly posted elsewhere at my request

Electrosphere

MrMG

Ben Edwards and John Watson's commentary on Austria 2002's finish was excellent, unlike James Allen's "I DO NOT ADAM AND EVE IT!"

The Brazilian commentary was just tragic, excitement going to utter disappointment.

MrMG

I reckon there's a chance they might still be on the disc somewhere, although my hacking skills aren't exactly stellar!

If the game was made these days, they probably would have been kept in, as the licence holders have to include the full line up from the first round (Hence why Ide was in F1 06/CE)

MrMG

Spa 1999 - Both B.A.R's binning it spectacularly at Eau Rouge within 10 minutes of each other.

Cue frantically arranged flights to get another spare car from the UK!

MrMG

Recently discovered this on YouTube, the Lola team were briefly included in F1 97 on the PlayStation...using McLaren's livery!

http://youtu.be/zNKUbdDhDK4?t=2m48s

I also discovered Murray Walker's commentary relating to Lola in the game files

MrMG

Hey all. Long time reader, first time poster! Upon finding out the names of the tracks online, much like the original poster, I decided to go one step further and get the original tunes straight from the music libraries. Naturally, I'm gonna share them! Really good tracks, some last nearly 10 minute...
