Not that that was always the case, however, and you could certainly call the series a rollercoaster of quality. There are few F1 games that bring a greater sense of achievement than bringing Minardi up from the back of the grid to being a fully works-backed squad fighting for the title.Ĭodemasters have been building F1 games for 11 years now, and it's pretty safe to say they’ve absolutely nailed it with their recent offerings. Do you put your backing behind a strong R&D programme (which could be for nought if another team protested your new parts), or do you splash the cash on signing a big name like Schumacher, Hakkinen, Newey or Brawn? Yes, you even had to sign technical directors. It wasn’t simply a case of setting a strategy and hoping for the best, you had to very carefully assign your budgets across the departments.
The series saw MicroProse and F1 cashing in on the hugely popular management sim genre, which still enjoys huge popularity in the football market today, and Grand Prix World was just as detailed as Football Manager is today.
While not a traditional F1 game in terms of sticking you behind the wheel, Grand Prix World was the last, and most polished, of the Grand Prix Manager series.
Sticking with MicroProse comes a game that recently featured on our list of the greatest racing simulators available.
