The best and worst F1 games ever



Formula 1 racing games have been around for decades, and even in the early 2000s it was possible for multiple developers to get a licence to make a game, rather than the exclusive deals we have become familiar more recently. More competition among F1 games could be a good and a bad thing though, as Nathan Quinn explores with a trip back to visit the best and worst F1 games that have ever been produced.

  1. F1 2009 and f1 2015. Not much to say about 2009, 2015 was devoid of all features from what I remember. I'm pretty sure they got rid of career mode, and renamed championship to career mode!

  2. F1 2014 was literally just a copy and paste of F1 2013 with stripped down features and they somehow fucked up the handling. They just put in the 2014 cars vacuum cleaner engines and called it a day

  3. geoff crammond's gp2 was far ahead of its time it's insane. gp4 is more or less a better graphics version with awesome variable weather. geoff crammond was head and shoulders above any other game of its time, and the ai is better than any of todays games.

  4. Was about to go ballistic here seeing F1 CE 2000 because honestly, I would've had it in the top 5 ahead of '97.

    But yeah, that PS2 port was garbage so fair enough lol

  5. Official F1 Racing was the first F1 game I played on PC. I was 8 years old and I loved it. That was, of course, before I knew about Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix series… I couldn't tell a good F1 game from a bad one back then.

    By the way, props for al lthe detailed research into the various developing studios and everything! Very informative.

  6. Grand-Prix 4 was amazing, so good! F1 98 was rubbish and really hard to control the cars. I thought the worse recent F1 game was on PS3 where the tyres dropped off so much that the car becomes undrivable.

  7. Grand Prix 2,3 and 4 were my absolute fav. I even played that game co-op with a friend on one pc. After 2 or 3 rounds the AI took over and we swapped seats and also the car. Playing with a big beefy joystick lol. Good times

    And now F1 2020 if my fav ofc.

    I can agree with that list. No objections

  8. F1 2020: one of the best F1 games ever…
    No… absolutely not. The F1 games have had the same physics and handling since about 2014. And with EA thrown into the mix this year, a yearly cash in with ultimate team like trading card mechanics? PitCoin? I’ll stick to modding Assetto Corsa or RF2, thanks.
