SingTel Ultimate Race Simulator 2008 1.0.2-The closest you can get to driving an F1 car

Wed, 28 May 2008 08:00:00 +0200

If you're looking for the traditional PC Formula 1 racing game, this is probably going to disappoint you: not because this is not good piece of software, but because it's not a game in the true meaning of that word.

SingTel Ultimate Race Simulator 2008 lets you experiment the sensations of driving a real Formula 1 car, at least as real as you can get it in your PC.

You won't need to wear special fireproof clothes or cover your head with a helmet. Still, you'll have to get used to a highly difficult car that tends to go out of track on every single curve.

The simulator is meant to be as realistic as possible, meaning you won't have any help from the "game" like automatic gear system. It's all on your hands so it'll probably take you some time to learn to drive.

But once you get the knack of it you'll be able to fully enjoy the experience of driving an F1 car.

As for the rest, SingTel Ultimate Race Simulator 2008 is quite a simple game, as it only features one car and one track (the Singapore Grand Prix circuit).

The weirdest thing about this simulator is the start menu, which looks more like a standard Windows application than a game in itself.

SingTel Ultimate Race Simulator 2008 is not a racing game in the traditional style, but rather an F1 simulator that tries to be as faithful as possible to the real thing, though that makes it quite difficult to master.

Scalextric Track Length Calculator 1.0.0.3-Calculate the length of your Scalextric track

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 08:00:00 +0200

Scalextric brings back many happy memories of my misspent youth racing around mini circuits at break neck speed and smashing-up cars. If only I'd had this tool, our competitions would have been much more professional.
As the name suggests, Scalextric Track Length Calculator enables you to measure the length of circuits so you can setup professional competitions.
The system works by constructing a virtual circuit with the pieces you have at your disposal. Immediately, it will tell you exactly how long your pieces will make the circuit in total as well as the difference between your various designs.
Not only can you create more accurate competition circuits with this tool but you can ensure that circuits are "right" for the cars that you have i.
e. not too fast or slow. You can also know exactly how far you have between checkpoints which makes for a much more exciting race enabling you to calculate split times, average speeds etc.

F1 2010-Experience the frenzy and intensity of Formula 1

Mon, 11 Oct 2010 08:00:00 +0200

F1 2010 brings Formula 1 games back in a big way. Codemasters has built on its experience with the rally series DIRT and built a game that mixes a high level of realism with excitement and fun.

It's impossible not to notice how beautiful F1 2010 is. It's incredibly detailed and realistic, and the sense of speed you get is hair raising.

When Codemasters got the Formula 1 license, people worried it would make an arcade racer, while others worried that the game would just be another simulator. Thankfully, F1 2010 manages to be both. Like the best driving games, it allows you get as in depth and technical as you could possibly want, while allowing other players to skip the details and just drive fast!

What F1 2010 really achieves is making you feel like a driver, with a cockpit view that exactly mirrors reality. It's as intense and exciting as the sport itself. It's not a perfect game, but it's the best Formula 1 game ever. The only irritations are brought in from real life: tiny errors can end your race, and some of the in race penalties can feel unfair!

If you're a fan of Formula 1 or driving games in general, don't hesitate to buy F1 2010. It's the most complete, most intense F1 experience you'll get without becoming Lewis Hamilton!

F1 2011-Codemasters polish their excellent F1 franchise

Mon, 19 Sep 2011 08:00:00 +0200

The second game in the new franchise, F1 2011 sees developers Codemasters polishing and tweaking their excellent 2010 Formula 1 simulator.

New Features

Graphically even more polished than before, and with some subtle but important car handling changes, F1 2011 looks like an incremental improvement rather than a revolution. However, 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' as the saying goes, and Codemasters have added some important features that make this game a worthy successor.

In terms of realism, there is now an optional safety car for people who want the full F1 experience, and the KERS and DRS systems have been introduced too. The first gives drivers a quick power boost for overtaking, while DRS allows drag to be reduced while racing, again giving a possible speed boost.

Multiplayer is still excellent, and now features split-screen mode. There are two new circuits, the Nurburgring and Buddh International Circuit.

Be the driver

Like its predecessor, and other Codemasters racing games, F1 2011 houses its career in an attractive motor-home which acts as your menu hub. It looks good, but means getting to the action is longer than it needs to be. Careers are still excellent though, and you can tailor the difficulty and detail to your wishes, which will keep everyone happy. Driving manually while using KERS and DRS is certainly a challenge, but the great thing about F1 2011 is that you don't have to make things that tough! The artificial intelligence of other cars is great, giving you interesting and fun competition even in one player mode.

Conclusion

F1 2011 is more of an evolution than a revolution, but that still makes it an excellent game. The sense of speed is maybe unparalleled, while the rain effect is absolutely gorgeous. Codemasters have taken a sport which can often feel dry and unwelcoming, and made it dynamic, visceral and exciting. We think F1 2011 is possibly the best looking racing game around, and will please hardcore fans and newcomers alike.
