INSTRUCTIONS

A Formula One mangagement game for 1-6 players, were you get to

be the manager of a Formula One racing team. Choose team,

sponsors and drivers.  Buy engines, chassis and crew. Choose

tires, depending on the weather and watch your drivers battle it

out from the stand. If one of your cars comes in for a pitstop

you control the pitstop crew. Change tires, fix gearbox problems

or repair the chassis as quickly as possible. After the race you

earn money and championship points depending on your cars

performance. The money can then be used to improve engine,

chassis, crew or even to buy a new driver. The aim of the game

is to amass more championship points than any other team at the

end of the season making your team the winning formula one team.



Controls: Kempston joystick/keys 

Race mode: As far as I know there is only one thing you can do

in race mode and this calling in your cars for a pitstop. You do

this by pressing "p". If you have got more than one car in the

race you are then promted for car number.  Pitstop mode: When

controlling your crew during pitstops "q" is up, "z" down,

"i" left, "p" right and "n" is one of the following actions:

change tire, fix gearbox, repair chaissis. It can be quite tricky

to get the computer to perform an action. You have to be facing

and exactly inline with the thing you're trying to change/repair.

When using a joystick the fire button is change/repair.





HINTS/CHEATS

Its worth spending at least 150 when buying a new engine or

chassis. Sometimes you can get more for your money by improving

rather than buying. If the weather gets worse, starts to rain etc

it is often better to call your car to a pitstop and change to

rain tires than letting your cars continue racing on slicks (they

often crash).
