This is one of my favourite ever games. Market trader sold it to me for a fiver a couple of weeks back. Hadn't played it since 1991.championship mode is the shit. Me and my 7 yr old son love to bond playing this. They nailed it with this one and it's got that timeless classic feel that shinobi on megadrive has.
Stephen Cross agree with your comment definitely.. I’ve always been a Nintendo and Super Nintendo fan, but this game, space harrier and shinobi for genesis were awesome!
Dude, this is the game that got me into F1. I played this game so much and memorized the tracks. Then finally when you're able to get a better car, that sweet feeling of being faster... so awesome.
I've always deplored that - during the race, all the cars got the same color except the player and the rival. You never know who you're dealing with... 'till the finish line and the results.
The craziest part is the first round of the second year, when this new guy Ceara (who looks a bit like Ayrton Senna, plus Ceara sounds like Senna) outpaces you and everyone else with Bullets.
What an excellent game! You have to play it twice to access all the teams and the best car gives you the opportunity to pass through all curves at full speed...👍
First 10 rating in EGM by Ed Semrad, I believe. Beat it many times, but never win either of the first 2 races in the second season. Sadly, the video output lag in HDMI screens makes this unplayable now.
On the Genesis I used to challenge and beat Madonna in San Marino, skip Brazil and then beat them again in France and be offered the seat. I was just playing this on the emulator the other day but now Rigel challenges me in France every time! lol whats up with that. What's worse is that after I win France, but Crash Hungary, Minarae drops me and I have to drive for Comet. 2 wins in 4 races not good enough for a borderline D class team now? that's not how it used to be!
I know Your comment is from 5 years, but I'll answer. If you don't Challenge in a Race, you are challenged on the next race. So in Brazil, Challenge a different car. When I play, I challenge Blanche at San Marino and France. So, I got It in Hungary. Brazil, I challenge Madonna.
Heh, nice to see this version played to completion! I never could get anywhere because of some odd issue that'd stay unless I pulled a hard reset. After a while, just even tapping turn would cause my car to stop. No trouble, just it becomes impossible to make a turn because the steering wheel became a more effective braking solution than the brakes themselves. I could pit and the issues would stop for around 20 seconds before coming back. It'd persist through soft resets, even!
I shit you not, my nan passed away 3 weeks ago and i have been going through her stuff this past week and i found in my old study (bedroom at my nans) a load of pics i had drawn of cars i had made up based on this game with stats and fake engine names etc haha. all based on "choose your rival" screen
Haha I used to be terrible at this, probably because I always chose auto transmission and just floored it until I inevitably spun off at the next corner
One of my first genesis games. Didnt really care for it at first because i never understood the concept of rivals and moving up in the ranks. Once i figured that out, i beat the game. Had the fastest car and would never lose. I used to go straight for madonna. If you can win once and get picked up by a better team, your car gets infinately better. If i remember right, madonna and firenze had the best cars?
It took me some time to get good at this no lie. When I did, I went straight for MADONNA. I was on their team by Round 4. Brazil was a bitch and France was a speedway so I beat A. Asselin on his own turf lol. I think Team Firenze's car is more solid though and it's the only V12 in the game 😈
That turn in Brazil is legitimately the hardest part in the game when you're trying to beat your rivals. It's not so bad in a good car but in that starter car it's murder.
Well, if you drove like that on a public highway you'd deserve to be called a raving maniac! 25 years I was in the Police Force and quite honestly I have never seen anybody drive quite like that!
After many hours of practise I can finally win a race in this most excellent of driving games. I'm curious though, why is the aspect square in this video and not 4:3?
One of the most difficult things in this game are 2 in my opinion... First, to beat Ceara at the 2nd season with Madonna car And Second, Win the Brazilian Gp with Minarae
@@marianb2093 Pero es imposible tener otro auto en Brasil para la primer temporada del juego... Obvio que va a ser más complicado con algún coche de clase D, pero bueno, como dije, canónicamente sólo podés correr con Minarae la primera vez
Vou baixar no pc so pra mata a saudade das virada de noite jogando esse classico. Que raiva quando eu perdia e dava um puxao no controle travava o jogo e perdia o progresso porque nao anotava os password kkkkkk
so much memories! I always hit the flag guy at the end of premliminary haha I don't know but my goto team is Bestowal, balanced and not OP like Madonna. My cheap trick is to hit my rival at the beginning so he'd fall behind, after the 2nd race his team is mine haha The same cheap trick is what I do to G. Ceara on 2nd season, he just never give up on challenging me haha
you can take place 1 with the first car mnare in san marino and in france, i just never managed to get place 1 in brazil with minare. I used to challenge Madonna in SanMarino and Firenze in Brazil and Madonna again in France. After that you get Madonnas car and you own Hungary ;D Classic Game ;)
I used to like to challenge MAY driver and take that car all the way to the championship... otherwise there was no challenge until trying to retain the title against the Senna lookalike..
This was brilliant to play when i was a youngster. I liked working my way up through the teams too but why was Bullets always faster than us in the 2nd year ? i enjoyed this ,thanks.
Because you had to have someone to win over, in the first year you were working your way up. The game would have been boring if you spent the whole second year winning constantly :)
@@simulacrae you have no idea how long I've been wondering whether it was just my play through when I was a kid. In the second season there was a driver who was really fast and eventually would take my seat - you've just confirmed what I suspected but wondered about for all these years!! It was written into the game!!
@@manchesterfellow oh yeah, it was scripted big time. He just overtook you at twice your speed and then just stay at the same speed as you just always staying a second ahead of you.
Mez Hossain The thing I like about the May car, is the engine speeds. Although I've heard that in the end, the Bestowal car is the best by virtue of handling, if I ever play again, I'll probably stop with Millions by virtue of them being based off of Williams. (I obviously wasn't an F1 fan when I first played this game!)
I know I could get on Madonna early but I think Firenze has the overall solid car and it had that V12 🔥😈. I like Bestowal as well but the Transmission wouldn't let you achieve that top speed... although agreed it handled perfectly
I was very good at this when I were a lad.i could get into the Madonna team within 2 races.straight up no bullshit.and in the 2nd season I could still beat the bullitt driver and avoid getting demoted!!!
Likewise, but was no fun to just blast everyone in the Madonna in first season... i liked to win with May. 2nd season, challenge that senna lookalike and put him out of the race twice, he doesnt challenge you and you can gain enough points on him to win the title... never managed to win 3 successive seasons.. do you know, remember if you can??
I remember the only was to be good at this was to use manual transmission. If you where good enough you’d win the championship then come across that unbeatable driver 😂 well for a couple of races anyway
Your days are gone!
+G. Ceara lmao
mito
G. Ceara you keep telling yourself that.
It's Ceara's era now!
Hi!
The countless hours of playing this cracking game!
And before the Infamous Gran Turismo days, Super monaco GP was already making impressions on us as kids! Awesome!
Used to love this game!
i love the "Nationality : YOUR COUNTRY" bit - brilliant
@@fernandopaxecopaxeco196 Bit racist. And completely unnecessary comment.
@@jimftr how is it racist? You soft ass bitch! They don’t know what country your playing from!
Driver's name: You.
Lol.
After pitting: "now it's up to you" haha the good ole days of 16bit F1. Salute to this game, it was my childhood.
I always hit the flag guy at the end....I made it a goal.

George Russell must feel like he's gone from Minarae to Madonna this weekend 🤣
Show de bola, cara!!! Meu primeiro F1! Ainda tenho o console e o cartucho, divisor de águas pra mim, esse jogo!!! Parabéns pelo vídeo!!!
I've always deplored that - during the race, all the cars got the same color except the player and the rival. You never know who you're dealing with... 'till the finish line and the results.
G. Ceara was my childhood nightmare!
Your days are gone!
@@GCeara-mh5it holy crap! This comment has made me a nervous wreck! Harrowing!
The craziest part is the first round of the second year, when this new guy Ceara (who looks a bit like Ayrton Senna, plus Ceara sounds like Senna) outpaces you and everyone else with Bullets.
1:46:42 - F. Elssler “Your days are gone!”
G. Ceara “Hey that's my line!”
I used to always assume he was actually copying G.Ceara and trying to be like him.
What an excellent game! You have to play it twice to access all the teams and the best car gives you the opportunity to pass through all curves at full speed...👍
Wow.... The memories... Thank you for the vid
ZEROFORCE had the best car... for admiring the scenery
When I was a kid I used to love how the draft effect works in this game.
My 2nd Fav game on the MD. Always thought that the MD Pad really needed shoulder buttons for this game, just for the gears.
I used to play this video game while listening to 50 Cent's The Massacre on my diskman.
Some most excellant racing here, you play real well, I really enjoyed watching, one of my favourite games of all time thanks for uploading
"Now it's up to you."
Imagine cornering at 400 and chirping your tires like a boss
I played this as a very young kid. I had no idea of sense of progression, I kept challenging inferior teams, just wanted to try different cars lol
First 10 rating in EGM by Ed Semrad, I believe. Beat it many times, but never win either of the first 2 races in the second season. Sadly, the video output lag in HDMI screens makes this unplayable now.
If i wasnt playing id listen to the music lmao, listen to that epic ending tune
The Firenze car is the best. Just as fast as the Madonna car but you don’t get bombarded with rival challenges.
Keep it up!
Come on!
Final lap!
Niiiice driving!
Good luck!
Now it s up to you!

Loved this game took.me ages to master. Always ended up at Zeroforce 🤣
Casual 415km/h down the straight
I always used to run over the guy with the chequered flag at the end. He used to fly off into the sky. 😈
I used to always try and win a race with cars of different colors. Even if I downgraded to Zeroforce, I wanted to drive as many cars as I could.
Damn that US Grand Prix was an absolute beatdown- beating the Madonna car by nearly 45 seconds!
I shit you not, my nan passed away 3 weeks ago and i have been going through her stuff this past week and i found in my old study (bedroom at my nans) a load of pics i had drawn of cars i had made up based on this game with stats and fake engine names etc haha. all based on "choose your rival" screen
BEST CIRCUIT U.S.A
This video should be called "Reckless Driver GP" since he crashed into over 50 cars and took out a couple of tire walls.
You went around the hairpin on the first race at 400kph. Epic
Spent hours playing this as a kid. I used to like driving into the chequered flag guy at the end and he'd go flying off
It didnt feel right if you didnt send him off into space at the end of a race.
Fantastic!!
Gostei do SMGP dos Anos 1989 e dos anos 90 1990 Gostei 2022
You're a really good gamer :)
Whoooo the memories!! Awesome game
The joy of playing this as a kid, winning s1 with the best car and then losing to one of the worst cars in s2. My first taste of cheap AI.
The other cars sounded like wasps
Parece meu primo jogando tacando o carro em todo mundo para segurar posição kkkkk
Haha I used to be terrible at this, probably because I always chose auto transmission and just floored it until I inevitably spun off at the next corner
Becarfull at gear change...

I loved this game as a kid and i could never get to the top team.
This and Road Rash 2 were sick
I used to run the checker flag man down, he went flying into the distance. Can't believe it's not a feature on the first race.
My childhood
Back when life was fun
This game was a beautiful headache
Yeah. everybody went for Tyrant first :) Also the Z-shaped turn on Brazil was the worst
+andNsX ME TOO!
Dad always went for Blanche first. He used to ace this game!
It took me some time to get good at this no lie. When I did, I went straight for MADONNA. I was on their team by Round 4. Brazil was a bitch and France was a speedway so I beat A. Asselin on his own turf lol. I think Team Firenze's car is more solid though and it's the only V12 in the game 😈
That turn in Brazil is legitimately the hardest part in the game when you're trying to beat your rivals. It's not so bad in a good car but in that starter car it's murder.
💯💯the first and third races were all it took
Well, if you drove like that on a public highway you'd deserve to be called a raving maniac! 25 years I was in the Police Force and quite honestly I have never seen anybody drive quite like that!
one of the few atari games i could play when i was a kid
it was a luxury to me
nostalgia hits hard
thank you
After many hours of practise I can finally win a race in this most excellent of driving games. I'm curious though, why is the aspect square in this video and not 4:3?
Thank you Ham Tak.
One of the most difficult things in this game are 2 in my opinion...
First, to beat Ceara at the 2nd season with Madonna car
And Second, Win the Brazilian Gp with Minarae
Apuesto que con el Zeroforce debe ser más difícil que con el Minarae jaja. El Linden es un buen auto!
@@marianb2093 Pero es imposible tener otro auto en Brasil para la primer temporada del juego...
Obvio que va a ser más complicado con algún coche de clase D, pero bueno, como dije, canónicamente sólo podés correr con Minarae la primera vez
old memories!! :')
These two cars in the end are the Williams Fw 11b
I only noticed that now!
I had some bugged version that nobody showed on the rearview mirror.
Vou baixar no pc so pra mata a saudade das virada de noite jogando esse classico.
Que raiva quando eu perdia e dava um puxao no controle travava o jogo e perdia o progresso porque nao anotava os password kkkkkk
Perhaps you can try the 4 speed manual gameplay on your next video.
so do you have to use manual gears to get anywhere decent? if not do you break afore the turns or what? i'm so shit at this game
so much memories! I always hit the flag guy at the end of premliminary haha
I don't know but my goto team is Bestowal, balanced and not OP like Madonna. My cheap trick is to hit my rival at the beginning so he'd fall behind, after the 2nd race his team is mine haha
The same cheap trick is what I do to G. Ceara on 2nd season, he just never give up on challenging me haha
man loved this game as a kid, was soooooo damn hard though and was never very good
Just realized G. Ceara is a cheater in the first two races, he launches before the green light.
Que nostalgia cara...
G.Ceara in his supercharged ghost car that can go through other cars and win even though he sticks to the left lol.
😅
you can take place 1 with the first car mnare in san marino and in france, i just never managed to get place 1 in brazil with minare. I used to challenge Madonna in SanMarino and Firenze in Brazil and Madonna again in France. After that you get Madonnas car and you own Hungary ;D Classic Game ;)

Interesting strategy. I always like to challenge the May driver when starting out.
+GOFLuvr yeah either may or tyrant :D

I used to like win the championship with the May team.. i just liked the colour, plus it wasnt the top dog..
Unbeatable! G.Ceara was made performing A.Senna.
Picos is Piquet
Asselin I think It's Prost
I have beaten him in bullets car only in 2nd race
36:07 *CRASH!*
Theo Best F1 game ever !!!
Was always driving the Firenze... Ferrari with mighty V12 !
Nah, me, the Bestowal. It's the best handler.
Mallory E. McLaren I like to win the championchip with Zeroforce :)
+Mallory E. McLaren damn machine used to handle like a god

@@malloryemclaren Benetton, Millions is Williams I take that team
How many times did you wreak?
Somebody in 2020?
funny i used to di the same LOL
tho the car i like the most in this game is, Bestowall
ah and i used to hat hungary circuit.
Sorry about the first Canadian track race.
I suffered for hours on this game! I always went for Tyrant first his car could beat maradonna
I realised that the game has been directly translated from Japanese.
I was very good at this when I were a lad.i could get into the Madonna team within 2 races.straight up no bullshit.and in the 2nd season I could still beat the bullitt driver and avoid getting demoted!!!

2nd season, challenge that senna lookalike and put him out of the race twice, he doesnt challenge you and you can gain enough points on him to win the title... never managed to win 3 successive seasons.. do you know, remember if you can??
I'm getting this game👍👍
Did you get it?????????
curve a 420km/h!!!
Sega Genesis was a good console for racing games!
Y O U R C O U N T R Y
Sega made the best arcade-style racers.
What he says when he left the pitstop?
just played this on Fusion. great game. too bad the prelim is so hard.
still sounds better current F1 engines
I like to see a Sega employee drive on an F1.
400 km/h 😂
Bullets is challenging you!🙀
Classic game.
I think there is another one to play against after the final road i think its a black one ....anyway its a good game in a good times
The Virgin Your Name
The Chad G. Ceara
I remember the only was to be good at this was to use manual transmission. If you where good enough you’d win the championship then come across that unbeatable driver 😂 well for a couple of races anyway
