    F1 Racing Championship was advertised very strongly for the PC in 2001, particularly as a potential opponent for Grand Prix 3 by MicroProse and F1 2001 by Electronic Arts.

    After the trade press had praised the game before the game was released, the game was almost overwhelmed with a lot of criticism when it was released.

    This had mainly to do with the extremely critical A.I error, which made the game almost unplayable.

    The computer opponents drive stubbornly on the ideal line and at full speed, as if they were driving alone. This causes a lot of accidents and you can't race properly. Most of the time the races end so that no one drives at all.

    A patch was announced but never came.

    The game therefore flopped extremely. An improved version or a major update appeared with Racing Simulation 3, which is the game the same game, only without official F1 licenses, no more A.I bugs, and ... Yes, two years too late ... :D

    Here is the link to Racing Simulation 3:

    I see this completely differently.
    There are several reasons why should replace the old pictures with new ones.

    1. The pictures are from the PC version
    2. The cars all have their own car shape in the PC version and not, as with the Nintendo 64, only the paintwork is different.
    3. Why have three Arrows-Benetton cars been replaced by the old pictures when the old ones were already "good"?
    4. I didn't fault the quality as such of the pictures of the Nintendo 64 version that Rinspeed took a long time ago. If only this version of the game existed, god knows I wouldn't have taken any new pictures, but there's a much, much better looking PC version out there. Why shouldn't you use them when even the car shapes are different, which in my opinion is also taken into account here on IGCD.net.
    5. PC version high-poly cars vs. N64 low-cars = I honestly prefer the former. Of course, that also depends on the game. There are games where I even like low poly cars = NASCAR Racing 1 or NASCAR Racing 2, F1 Manager Professional etc. there is one like that - but not in the F1 Racing Championship.
    6. There is no reason not to use these images. I think the majority of the users here on IGCD.net, would see it similarly if they looked at the quality of the game. The PC version was the main version of the game. All other versions of F1 Racing Championship for consoles were just followers and not primarily representative of this racing game.


    For whatever it's worth, I agree with you. If both versions use different models (and they do, it's not like the N64 was very powerful), then the higher fidelity ones should be used.

    I made new front pics (as I said) from the PC version for this game, but my links for the new pics are deleted and the newcar pictures are not all been used.
