One of the best F1 games of that period.

Nice performance by the Voodoo 3 3000

[@MASHIAciacata]

It looks very realistic and the graphics are also very advanced for a game from the year 2000.

[@brickmoss8kb]

stunning graphics for 2000, and the Voodoo 3 3000 handles it like a champ!

[@3dfxvoodoocards6]

@@brickmoss8kb yes the graphics are superb for a game from 2000 and it runs really well in 1024x768 with the Voodoo 3.

[@ACAJUJU]

I remember playing the demo of this game but I never had the full version.

[@catkitten-ss9fl]

By that time, late 2000, the Voodoo 3 wasn't a high-end card anymore but it still does the job.

[@Lighteningday]

Another interesting game

[@robocar-vf7hw]

I did not know this one but it looks like a fun game.

[@philt6440]

I still play this today. Even got my logitech g29 wheel working with it and force feedback. All assists off and it's a real challenge to keep the car on the track. just how I like it!

[@3dfxvoodoocards6]

@@athos5359 At the beginning of the race, with 22 cars in the image all at once the FPS was lower but I guess that’s more because of the CPU. Right after I overtook some cars and they disappeared behind, the FPS increased dramatically.

Nice

[@Naughtydogadventures]

Nice racing game

[@Hanejejrjxn]

The Voodoo 3 is one and a half years older than this game but it still runs it with high fps. Not bad at all.

[@RootiferasRetroGameplay]

runs butter smooth! this is a Ubisoft game, right? they used to make good games in the past :)

[@philt6440]

Yup..they made the best F1 games. Silky smooth 60fps like here was also achieved first in 1997 with their first F1 simulation offering. Geoff Crammonds GP3 still couldn't get above 30fps in 2000! Ubisoft were way ahead of their time!

@@philt6440 yeah Ubisoft made some really good games back then.

@@RootiferasRetroGameplay yeah it runs really nice on the Voodoo 3 3000 in 1024x768. At the start the Fps was lower because there were 22 cars on the screen but after a few seconds it run very smooth.

Looks more like a simulator than an arcade game

[@philt6440]

Yup. It's the third F1 title by ubisoft. They worked with Williams Renault team to simulate a real world experience as much as possible into the game.

[@Mylittleponyheart]

Schumacher the best F1 driver ever in my opinion

[@philt6440]

His car was pretty crap compared to the Williams Renault for '96, '97 season and he still took Hill and Villeneuve the distance. But yes he was rightly disqualified in 1997.

[@3dfxvoodoocards6]

@@philt6440 in 94 and 95 he won the championship even though the Williams cars were clearly superior to his Benetton. And in 98 and 99 the McLaren Mercedes was too far superior to his Ferrari. Senna and Prost for most of their careers drove the best cars on the field, Schumacher almost always drove the second of third card on the grid and still won the championship in 94 and 95 and was close to winning it in 97 and 98. In 99 he broke his legs and couldn’t compete.

[@philt6440]

@@3dfxvoodoocards6 don't get me wrong I still regard him as the best driver of that era. Only really appreciated his achievements after he retired though and watched the races back. I was a big Hill fan at the time. Saw both Hill and Schumi up close as their teams did testing in their garages at Spa in '96. Friday you could walk in the pits if it wasn't too busy. Great times! Different times! And better times 👍

[@3dfxvoodoocards6]

@@philt6440 the best F1 years in my opinion were from 85 to 2000. Schumacher was clearly superior to Hill. Schumacher in an inferior car won the championship in 94 and 95 against Hill who drove the fastest car on the grid, the Williams-Renault.

[@philt6440]

@@3dfxvoodoocards6 Schumacher should never have won in '94 though. That move deserved a points reset as much as the move in '97 on Jacques.

@@3dfxvoodoocards6 Did you know Ubisoft developed an F1 Racing Championship 2 but due to licensing laws they couldn't have official team names and driver names? It was later released as Racing Simulation 3. It was a big flop due to Geoff Crammond games now being at the forefront. I still like it though. It's basically F1 Racing Championship game with some fine tuning.

[@3dfxvoodoocards6]

@@philt6440 Very interesting, I didn’t know that. I will check it out. I like F1 racing games a lot, from 1994 to 2000 I was a F1 fanatic :). Even now I constantly look at the races from those years and the ones before when Senna Prost Mansell fought each other.
