What was visually breathtaking then is still well done today. Later on it was often part of the game bundles given away with some Voodoo chipset cards as it was ideal to show what a hardware accelerator can do.

It's a mediocre sequel to the mediocre original, which was fairly popular in 1996 because it was one of the first games to make good use of 3D hardware acceleration. Not that this is necessarily a bad title but to me, it's one that you really don't care if you have it or not. Still active in Ind圜ar, usually taking rather scared celebrities around in the two-seater machine, Andretti made a bet with McLaren boss Zak Brown back at the Miami Grand Prix.īrown promised to put Andretti into one of his modern F1 machines for a one-off test.įive months later, the 2013 McLaren MP4-28 was shipped off to Laguna Seca - as Andretti returned to the track once again in F1 machinery.Immediately after installing Psygnosis' Formula 1 97, I asked myself why this game was ever produced. In 1995, he came close to unofficially 'completing' motorsport with a second place overall finish in the Le Mans 24 Hours. Now 82, Andretti remains the only driver to have won the F1 World Championship (1978), US open wheel championship (1965, 1966, 1969, 1984), Indy 500 (1969), and Daytona 500 (1967). One name who is wrongly overshadowed by some is Mario Andretti - probably the most successful racing driver there is.

Michael Schumacher perhaps for galvanising Ferrari or Lewis Hamilton re-writing the record books in the modern day - but then what could the great Jim Clark or Ayrton Senna gone onto achieve had they not been cut down in their prime? When it comes to the debate around the so-called 'Greatest of All-Time' in motorsport/Formula 1, there are the usual suspects near the top of the list.
