Chequered Flag by Psion on the ZX Spectrum is looked back on with great fondness as the first driving game many people played on their home computer. It's even credited on Wikipedia as the first true F1 racing simulator on home computer. The only problem is that it's utterly awful. Even back then it was atrocious.

In mid-May I'll be privileged to be heading off to the Atlanta Motorsports Park in the US to take part in Prodigy Week, Racing Prodigy's incredible e2Real project, aiming to take sim racers and gamers into real-world racing. As the oldest entrant with the longest gaming history, I've been looking back at the games that have been part of my journey. Over 40 years there are very few racing games I've not had some fun playing, up to and including Street Kart on iOS that gave me the opportunity to enter.
