Grand Prix Circuit

Grand Prix Circuit, released in 1988 by Accolade, is a Formula One racing simulation that brings the excitement and challenge of professional motorsport to the home computer. Players can choose from three iconic cars of the era—the McLaren Honda MP4/4, Williams FW12, and Ferrari F1/87/88C—each with unique handling and performance characteristics.

The game features eight real-world circuits, including Monaco, Silverstone, and Monza, faithfully recreated with period-specific details. Players can race in single events or tackle the full Grand Prix season, adjusting difficulty levels and selecting manual or automatic transmission to suit their skill level. Success requires mastering tight corners, timing pit stops, and managing speed on long straights.

Grand Prix Circuit is celebrated for its responsive controls, realistic racing physics for its time, and immersive cockpit view. Its combination of accessibility and depth made it a standout title in the early racing genre, earning it a place as a nostalgic favorite among retro gaming and motorsport enthusiasts.
