Description

Formula Circus is an F1 racing game, and the final release in Nichibutsu's F1 Circus franchise. A unique feature of the game is that it features cars and tracks from three different eras of F1 racing: past (1970s), present (1990s), and futuristic (2010s) versions of all cars and tracks are available. There are four tracks featured, each with multiple weather variations and a version for each era, and it is possible to tune each car in detail, including the tires, engine, wings, suspension, steering, and brakes. The game includes a Grand Prix career mode, a Quick Race mode against computer opponents, and a Time Attack mode.
