Formula Racing

You've entered the ultimate level of racing. With Formula One Racing, you enter an environment of non-stop racing with all the thrills of racing in an F1 vehicle. Pure racing action at a pace you've never experienced before is what this game offers. Unlike many simulators, it removes all the complex aspects and leaves you with the ability to focus solely on the fun and speed of racing.

Why Formula One Racing Is So Thrilling

Formula One Racing is a great example of why racing is so exciting while eliminating the boring elements of racing. No managing pit stops. No calculating the wear and tear on your tires. Only you, an extremely fast F1 car, and opponents who would love nothing more than to be left behind.

A bird's eye view of the racing track provides you with the most information possible about the course you are racing on. You get to know how far away from you the next corner is, where there may be space between the cars in front of you, and when to execute a move to pass another driver. This type of racing turns the reaction time element of racing into a form of racing strategy.

Racing at Its Fastest, Most Competitive Form

Racing in Formula One Racing is a very short, yet intense experience. Races are normally completed within a couple of minutes. Therefore, Formula One Racing is well-suited to racing sessions of 5-15 minutes, however, it has an addictiveness that can easily encourage players to string multiple racing session after session. Each racing session is a new challenge that presents a unique racing layout that requires its own racing strategy.

Driving On The Edge Of Control

Winning a racing session in Formula One Racing is based upon more than simply pushing the gas pedal. It is about developing the skills necessary to master the racing line and control your car when it is operating at the extreme limits of traction. The task of controlling a Formula One racing car, which is capable of tremendous speeds, while maintaining precision during both the braking and accelerating phases of a turn is the key to success in Formula One Racing.

Cornering: Mastering The Art of Braking and Acceleration

Develop the skills necessary to manage the braking and accelerating phases of a corner so that you lose the least amount of speed possible. If you brake too early or too hard you will lose speed needlessly. If you brake too late you will run wide of the corner and create an opportunity for other drivers to pass you. Developing the skill of finding the correct braking point for each corner is what separates the winners from the losers.

Passing: Identifying Opportunities To Pass Another Driver

Identify the right moment and the right gap to pass another driver and do so without contact, maintaining maximum speed as you attempt to take the lead. Passing another driver is not a matter of running into them. Rather, it is a matter of placing yourself in a position to take advantage of the corner exit, thereby creating a higher speed than the driver you are attempting to pass. The highest percentage of passes occur when a driver takes the racing line through a tight section of track (a chicane), resulting in more speed being carried onto the following straight. A driver who successfully navigates the racing line through a tight section of track will pull up beside drivers who were slightly slower. While patience is important, so too is aggression.

You have to be aggressive because you never know when the final lap could be your last. Rivalries build as you get closer to the end of the race. Ten second battles to determine who crosses the finish line first are a common occurrence.

How To Play Formula Racing

Desktop: Arrow keys or W/A/S/D for steering and controlling speed. Up for gas and down for brakes. Steering is controlled left/right.

Mobile: Touch controls offer virtual buttons for gas, brakes and steering. Clean and does not distract from viewing the track.

Your goals: Be one of the top finishers at the end of the race to advance. Get familiar with the individual track layouts. Make smooth passes with minimal or no contact. Reduce lap times by taking the fastest racing lines possible.

Tracks range from tight technical circuits with hairpins to fast flowing layouts with long sweeping corners. Each track requires you to use different techniques and reward you for developing those skills.

Strategies For Success In The Championship

Find the best racing line. Finding the optimal path may require trying different paths until you find the one that produces the most speed.

Exits speed is more important than entering speed. A slower entrance that gives you an optimal exit will save you time over the next straightaway.

Follow the line of faster AI cars. Find out where they brake and turn, then follow their lines until you develop your own optimized line.

When you are the leader do not just run the racing line. Position your car so that it blocks other cars from passing while losing little speed.

Staying calm is key. When several cars are fighting for position, the person who can remain focused and avoid doing anything crazy usually ends up on top.

Accessible thrills; limitless challenge

The design of the game allows the user to focus on the action. The controls are simple enough that anyone can start playing immediately, however the speed of the game and competitiveness of the AI provide depth for racing enthusiasts.

Each new race offers a new set of challenges and layouts based on real life classic racing circuits. You will need to adjust your braking points and cornering techniques for each track.

The progression of the game seems natural. At first you may be finishing in the middle of the pack as you learn the fundamentals. Within a few sessions you will be competing for podiums and eventually you will be consistantly winning and searching for the perfect lap.

Who Should Play Formula Racing

This game is great for fans of motorsports looking for a fun experience with competitive depth. If you liked older style top down racing games or current day F1 games but wanted something quicker and more instant gratification, this game fits the bill.
