F-1 Race is a racing video game released in 1984 for the Famicom in Japan. A version was released in 1990 for the Game Boy in Japan, Europe, and North America, which included the Four Player Adapter for four player gameplay. The game features racing in one of two Formula One cars around a variety of tracks near world capitals and landmarks. Gameplay is similar to that of Namco's Pole Position. Finishing in first, second, or third results in a podium finish; players must win on each track to advance to the next. Several Nintendo characters appear at the end of race circuits: Mario, Luigi,... Princess Peach, Toad, Bowser, Link, Samus, Pit and Donkey Kong. The game resulted in a Grand Prix series sequel, featuring Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race and Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally. Similar to the original, both games were never released outside of Japan. F-1 Race has been cloned on many Famiclone consoles like the N-Joypad Plug and Play console.
