I've always wanted the definitive formula 1 game on DC. I even played both versions of Monaco Grand Prix offline and online back in the day. I loved the original Formula 1 World Grand Prix (made by Video Systems) and it's sequel (Formula 1 World Grand Prix 2) would have been brilliant if not for the disappointing slowdown/framerate problems that killed it.

But now I'm confused ! Another game, released in Feb 2001 (again by Video Systems), has come to my attention: F1 Racing Championship. I couldn't find it for sale in the UK (was I just unlucky or was it released only outside the UK) .........so had to order it from Italy (appropriately a BIG F1 country). In a preview on IGN it says this is the same game as World Grand Prix 2 see here: http://uk.dreamcast.ign.com/articles/134/134707p1.html

So is this the same game ? Surely not ...... as both game got a release in Europe. Didn't they ?

No doubt when the game arrives (£11 inc p&p sealed copy) I will know the answers on whether this is the ultimate F1 racer on DC but if anyone can fill me in beforehand I'd be very grateful.

PS Apologies for the almost incomprehensible way I just wrote that post ! lol
