Summary: Quite an improvement from Rad Racer
Comment: The full name of the game is actually Formula One: Built to Win (F-1 B.T.W.). When you actually start to race, you'll notice a lot of the sound effects and graphics steal from Rad Racer. But this has something Rad Racer does not have: the ability to improve upon your car by first winning races to earn money, then using that money to buy better parts, a better, more lightweight body, more powerful motor, and eventually a better car. You travel from city to city to win races, which each one is progressively more difficult to win (that's where you need better parts). And if you're getting desperate for money, go to Las Vegas, and try your luck at the slots. But just like real life, your chances of hitting the jackpot is very slim, but if you do, you get rewarded big time. But I take a star off because no matter how hard and determined I am, I never been able to win this game. But bear in mind, this game came out in 1990 on the old 8-bit NES, so the graphics are rather crude (even by 1990 standards because 16 bit games were common knowledge by that time, like on Sega Genesis).
