F17 Challenge AA

This third-person racing title features officially licensed Formula 1 cars and circuits and marked Team17’s first foray into the racing genre. The game offers two main modes: Arcade, where players must finish each race within the top three positions to continue, and Normal, where points are accumulated across races, allowing for occasional poor results without ending the campaign. Three difficulty settings are available, and the number of laps can be adjusted. The grid consists of 22 cars, with players able to select teams such as Ferrari, Williams, McLaren, and Benetton. Collisions with other cars, kerbs, or barriers cause vehicle damage, which may require a pit stop to repair. Failing to reach the pits before sustaining further damage can result in retirement from the race. Effective avoidance of slower lapped traffic is often essential to maintaining race position.
