Nigel Mansell's F-1 Challenge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nigel Mansell's F-1 Challenge is a Super Famicom game that takes places in the Formula One circuit. In addition to using a generic name, players can also name themselves after D. Patrick, K. Busch, or other famous race car drivers. The player can race a single race, do a season of Formula One, or practice their skills on a particular race track. Either music, sound effects, or both can be shut off on the options menu. The changing of the tires is mandatory on pit road during the middle of each race, and weather can determine whether the player should use hard tires, soft tires, or rain tires.

Being licensed by Mansell, the game followed the 1992 Formula One season, which he won. The player takes on Mansell's role to try and win the title again, against eleven other drivers. Like Sega's own Super Monaco GP, each of them belongs to their own scuderia (instead of common F1 format of two pilots per constructor), however all are real-life drivers. The 12 drivers (their numbers are not mentioned in the game, but are those they used for the real-life championship) are:

It was released for the Western market by GameTek under the name Nigel Mansell's World Championship, where Gerhard Berger replaced Ayrton Senna as the McLaren driver.
