Grand Prix Expert

ENGINES, Tyres, Sponsors

Grand Prix Expert is a car racing simulation offering all features and aspects of a complete Formula 1 season – players are owners and managers of a racing team and must look after finances as well as the technical development and then attend all the races of the season on different tracks.

Basically the game comprises two phases, which are repeated for each race – the Interrace phase, in which players configure and improve their cars, and the race itself. The results of the race are noted on the champion ship board.

Cars start with a chassis, eight components, an engine, tyres and petrol. All parameters of a race are taken into account: Replacement parts, engines, tyres, petrol, strength and weakness of drivers, costs of technical improvements, dangers and peculiarities of the tracks, impact of meteorological conditions, race strategies etc. You must acquire sponsors and try to win the title or Formula 1 Champion at the end of the season. Financial support comes from your starting capital, price money based on race results, TV royalties and sponsors.

The race itself is card-driven, you always have a choice from 7 cards. The card value is modified by a bonus or malus derived from the potential of the car, pit stop strategy and the strategy cards of the race track.

Grand Prix Expert is a game for absolute fans of the topic and definitely not a game for the casual gamer, but a challenging and realistic simulation which demands time to get familiar with and time to play as well as paying close attention to all details of the specifications for all tracks of a Formula 1 season.
