What it is
Formula One Grand Prix is a MicroProse sim racing game originally released in 1992 and listed for Windows, DOS, and Atari ST. The Steam entry presents Geoff Crammond Racing 1, a revival of the early racing simulation with 16 international circuits and open-wheel cars. Its driving model focuses on period physics and handling, with a complete championship that includes race strategies, car setups, and rivalries. Each event follows a race-weekend format with practice, qualifying, and full races. Players can rename fictional tracks and drivers, and create drivers, teams, liveries, and track names. Built-in replays and analysis tools review laps and races. Optional driving assists make the single-player game more approachable, while dynamic weather requires adapting strategy as conditions change. Steam lists partial controller support and Family Sharing. The Steam release is marked Coming soon for Windows.
