F1WCE is a lot of fun – especially when you are driving downhill at 200 mph. Steering is more difficult than in Arcade mode, and a lot of practice is required, especially since computer opponents are no cakewalk.

You can tune your car before the race, and visit pit stops during each race for re-fuelling and adjustments.

The Racing mode is naturally more realistic and longer: you have to complete a season of F1 racing, starting with qualifying rounds. Finish in the top 3 in each of the 5 tracks, and you’ll win the game. You can almost make it through every turn without losing the brakes – not realistic of course, but a lot of fun. The Arcade mode is in my opinion the best one in the game, because it’s where the game’s arcade focus shines the most. It's also possible to play against another human by using a null-modem cable – a nice addition. F1WCE offers the standard range of options: you can choose between different game modes (including Arcade, Training, Racing), automatic or manual transmission, and the number of laps. The game features all 16 circuits on the FIA calendar, while keeping the clean graphics and interface of Vroom intact. F1 World Championship Edition is an updated version of Lankhor's Vroom, a highly underrated F1 racing simulation, first released in 1991 in Europe.
