Classic F1

Posted on by

I have two versions of this game, one that I acquired and printed out in 2015, and an updated version that’s been sitting on my hard drive since late 2020.

I think it’s about time that I sat down and learned this one.

This is a lap-by-lap recreation of F1 races, and the most recent set that I picked up has all the world champions up to 2019, and the 2019 season set.

Other seasons that I have are 1981, 1988, and 2016, and a variety of historical tracks.

I may just take 20 championship drivers and 20 or so tracks and run a season, if I decide not to replay one of the seasons I have.

Stay tuned!

1962: Formula 1

Posted on by

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:

Stay tuned!

Racing, Again

Yet another racing game is about to come into my possession.  Lacorsa.

It’s a card and dice game with race car pawns.  It looks cool.  And I already set up a season to play.

Only 6 cars get to participate in a race, so I have to figure out how to incorporate 2 more cars, or some kind of qualifying method that disallows 2 cars from each race.

I’ll have it all figured out before I get the game.

Stay tuned!
