Product Information. Formula One 99 is the fourth installment in Psygnosis' FIA-licensed, Formula One series. All the racing teams, drivers, cars, and technical specs have been updated to match changes in the real world of Formula One racing. Even the newly constructed (as of 1999) Sepang International Circuit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia has been added to the season.Players may choose to participate in a Quick Race, an arcade-style game, a Grand Prix, which is a racing simulator, and various two-player racing options.
In Quick Race, there is no concern for fuel, damage, pits or penalties. Select a track, set up race options such as weather, and go.In the two-player mode, two drivers can go up against each other on either a vertical or horizontally split screen. In the Grand Prix mode, players may choose to enter a single race or go through a full season, which consists of 16 international tracks. A race consists of a weekend: day one is spent practicing, day two is for qualifying to determine starting position, and day three is the race itself.Players can choose to set a number of realistic details to affect racing. They may choose to play with pitting, fuel usage, tire wear, damage, and variable weather.
Players may also modify their cars to suit the appropriate weather and track styles.During a race, players must pay attention to flags that will be displayed by track marshals to indicate various race factors. Black flags indicate a driver has received a time penalty or has been disqualified from the race. A blue flag indicates a driver is about to be overtaken by a faster car and must allow that car to pass. A yellow flag warns of danger on the track ahead, and of course the checkered flag indicates victory.After each race, points are awarded to the top six finishing cars to contribute to their overall season standings. Players may save their games between races.

Formula 1 98 is a racing video game and the sequel to the 1997video gameFormula 1 97. The game was first released in Europe on 30 October 1998 for the Sony PlayStation, and was developed by Psygnosis which held the official Formula 1 game licence at the time.
Jarno Trulli appears on the front cover of this edition, however some other versions (such as the British version) have the 1998 World Champion, Mika Häkkinen, on the front cover, and in the United States version, it has Eddie Irvine on the cover. The British version of the front cover also has the ITV logo, the official broadcasters of F1 in the UK at the time. The game is comparable to other racing games such as Need for Speed.
Overview[edit]
Following the departure of Bizarre Creations, Psygnosis offered Reflections Interactive the chance to develop Formula 1 98. However, they pulled out to make Driver. Visual Science were hired to make the game. The game was rushed for release to coincide with the final race of the 1998 Formula One season. As a result of this the game ended up being very poorly-received by various gaming publications.[1]Despite this, the game was a best-seller in the UK.[2]
Circuits[edit]
The game features 16 official Formula One circuits based on the 1998 Formula One season plus 2 hidden tracks which can be accessed with cheat codes. One is based upon a Hippodrome, although it says 'Coloseum' in the selection screen and the other one is a Stunttrack.

Teams and drivers[edit]
The game features all of the official teams and drivers that competed in the 1998 Formula One season, although like with its predecessor, Formula 1 97, Jacques Villeneuve's name and image are not featured due to him copyrighting both. The game refers to him as 'Williams Driver 1'.
