------------------------------------------

There's not a lot of F1 racing games for some reason, though they were definitely more common in the past than they are now. Grand Prix Circuit is surprisingly playable given its age, though ultimately nothing special in the grand scheme of things.

Additional Information and Corrections:

* If you don't get the joke at the very end then clearly you need to watch more LGR... or more specifically, this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpDq-AHt4DQ

* Actually, I'm not as mystified about the quality jump between this game and Stunts as I could've been. Back in the 80s, game developers churned out games MUCH faster than they do today because the games themselves were much simpler, requiring less artwork, sound and programming overall.
