The Nintendo 64's second Formula One racing title is a licensed simulation featuring 17 authentic venues, 22 real-world drivers, and 11 racing teams. Five game types are available in F-1 World Grand Prix: Exhibition, Grand Prix, Challenge, Time Trial, and Two-Player. Exhibition is a single race on a choice of courses, while Grand Prix follows the sport's 1997 season, complete with practice, qualifying, and warm-up sessions before each event. Challenge tests your driving skills in a series of themed scenarios in the following categories: offense, defense, and "trouble." Time Trial is a speed run through each course, with an optional ghost instructor available to show optimal racing lines. Finally, the two-player option features head-to-head racing against a friend from either a horizontal or vertical split-screen display. Tune your car before each race and adjust such options as laps, damage, pit stops, flags, and weather.
