While it wasn’t the first race of the 1962 F1 season, it’s the default track that comes with the Formula D game.

1962: Formula 1
As much as I enjoyed playing Lacorsa, I felt the pull back to the first Formula 1 racing game I played. But I wanted to stick to the same era as Lacorsa.
Behold, Shapeways with the solution!
These are 4 of the teams/cars that competed in the 1962 Formula 1 Grand Prix season. Left to right:
- Porsche 804
- BRM P57
- Ferrari 156 “Sharknose”
- Lotus 25
I’ll paint them up in proper team colors and use the Formula DE boardgame to play out the season.
The teams/drivers:

Strat-O-Matic: ’62 Giants vs. ’54 Giants
I went back to the roots of my recent table top sports hobby, and played a game with Strat-O-Matic Baseball.
PepsiCo Park was originally constructed from inspiration I found online for Strat-O-Matic players’ dice tower/trays, yet I played very few SOM games with this park, after getting into a plethora of other baseball games, most notably Ball Park Baseball.
I had planned to do a mini-replay/project with 6 teams: 4 Giants, 1 Yankees, 1 Mets.
So here is a game with the 1962 Giants against the 1954 Giants.
Final from the Polo Grounds:
A real pitcher’s duel until the bottom of the 8th. I may have left O’Dell in too long, yeah?
I don’t know how often I’ll play this project, I haven’t even come up with a schedule.
Stay tuned!
1962: Meet the Mets, Games 8-10
Easier to post these as series…
Finals from Forbes Field (April 21st-23rd):
10 games in, these Mets have the same record as their real-life counterparts (1-9). Though I was able to get their first win earlier than they did. Historically their first win was on April 23rd against the Pittsburgh Pirates. In my replay it was April 17th against the Houston Colt .45s.
Next up: the Mets visit Cincinnati for the first time.
Stay tuned!
