See if you recognise any famous moments in F1 recreated in that CGI intro... ;)

I used to have that F1 game for PlayStation 1. Never liked it. It just didn't seem any real to me, even then.

When you watch the video posted by Luke, on the 29th second there's a funny sticker on Rubens' car: "Ireland 1 Italy 0". This has probably something to do with Eddie Jordan's passion to football. Formula One was much more fun in the '90s, than it is now...

That was during the French GP in 1994, which coincided with the Football World Cup that year. A few GPs later I think it was Minardi who returned the compliment displaying "Italy In: Ireland Out".

This was my first racing game, I loved it. This intro brings back lots of childhood memories.

Some of the intro movies for the "officially licensed" F1 games for the Playstation 2 are better than the games themselves!

I know some of you `sim` lovers will probably hate this, and to be honest, i dont play this game anymore, but the intro for me is just brilliant. And i love the music :)

wow festa forgot the toca intro great days.


For me it has to be this one. Even at the time I felt I was a bit too old to get excited about games but as soon as the intro to this kicked in I was hooked. The fact it was my favourite band at the time added to the atmos.

Just watched the '94 season review a couple of weeks ago which mentioned the football score on the jordan quip, a good laugh.

Agree with F1 99, TOCA 2 and GT 1,2,3, especially the first GT. I rememeber watching that as a kid and thinking that those hours working a crappy paper route to pay for the console just to play that game was worth it.

GT1 and GT2 intros were just great. Brings back good memories :smiley:

What about Grand Prix Legends ?

My first computer game, ten years ago, I got it because I only wanted to see how the tracks looked like in the 60's (especially the Nordschleife and Spa). And I'm still improving
