About
The game offers several circuits, each with its unique challenges: tight turns, fast curves and, of course, adrenaline of the race. Fuel and pit stop management become a strategic aspect of the game, distinguishing it from other racing games that are purely speed-oriented.
One of the most memorable aspects of F1 Spirit is his ability to simulate a racing experience with relatively high precision for a game of his time. Apart from his reputation with fans of racing games on MSX, F1 Spirit also marked the minds by its pit stop management mechanics, quite innovative for the time. This allowed to give a little more depth to a genre that was often focused only on the fast and direct aspect of the race.
