DESCRIPTION
===========

 Six International Circuits.
 Five different cars.
 Six-speed gearboxes, lap records, and more.
 Up to three cars on the track at the same time.


CHEATS
======
On the last lap, go to the pits, escape from the game and go to accelerate
time.  This should now finish the grand prix in pole position.

Slip into the pits after your first lap and then simultaneously hold down
the keys that make up the word "PALIR" and press the fire button.  Not only
will you be unable to crash but the game will not react as though you have
pressed 'F4'.

Race a non-championship race and keep driving untill the last lap.  Then
enter the pits and drive to your pit-crew.  Wait for the message "Race
over".  This way you will always win the race.

On the last lap go into the pits, apply your brakes and press to quit the
race.  Accelerate the time, and you should if you were close enough to the
leading pack, win the race.

INTERLAGOS: BRAZIL
==================

Length Of Circuit ------- 2.699 Miles/4.325 Km
Number Of Laps ---------- 71
Total Distance ---------- 190.848 Miles/307.075 Km
Lap Record (Qualifying) - 1M 16.392 Seconds
Lap Record (Race) ------- 1M 19.089 Seconds

 A  circuit  that  demands a great deal from the transmission with numerous
gear changes.  The long left hander can also make it very exausting for the
drivers who have to fight the strain on their kneck muscles.

 It's  important  to be quick on the two long 200mph straights, cars can be
set  up  with very little downforce.  However, this makes th inner sections
of  the track more difficult to drive with the wheels loosing some grip and
the cars feeling jumpy and twitchy.

 From  the  pits  straight,  flat  out in 6th at 200mph, you sweep left and
thenright  for  Curva1  and  Curva De Sol then wind up for the long curva 2
lefthander  and  accelerate  past  reta  oposta  in 6th gear at 190mph.  To
slight  left  handers  after  curva  3  and  storm  through  the forth gear
feradura.  From here you need to get into a good rhythm to take you through
a   series   of   slow  winding  bend:   Laranji  (2nd  gear,  55mph)  then
Prinhearinho,  Bico Do Pato (2nd gear 55mph) and finally, Merghulho.  Curva
4 taken in 2nd or 3rd gear is next, a bumpy slow left hander.

 This  corner  is important in that taken properly it can put you in a good
position  to  approach the long left hander that leaves to the pit straight
Arquibancadas.   Winding  up  through  Subida  its  quite  possible to line
yourself up to "get a tow", slipstream a car in front of you and overtake.


IMOLA: ITALY
============

Length Of Circuit ------- 3.132 Miles/5.040 Km
Number Of Laps ---------- 61
Total Distance ---------- 191.075 Miles/307.440 Km
Lap Record (Qualifying) - 1M 21.877 Seconds
Lap Record (Race) ------- 1M 26.531 Seconds

 A bumpy, brusing anti-clockwise circuit where the cars run little wing and
are often struggling for grip or clipping the kerb.

 From  the  grid,  you  roar towards Tamburello, a long, fast 6th geat left
hander that pushes you into speeds in excess of 170mph.

 Accelerating  into Rettifiolo, the cars can reach 200mph before they brake
for  Tosa,  an  off-camber  tight  left hander thats taken at 2nd in 60mph.
Here  you  have  a good chance of getting on the brakes late and overtaking
but  its  not  easy.   Double back up the hill to a fast left at Piratella,
flat out in 4th, then change into 5th just as you leave the bend.

 Next,  down  the hill into the long left hander towards the Acque Minerale
chicane.  The appoach is off-chamber and blind; you have no view of the "S"
until  you  are in it an 2nd at 50mph.  Here, there is a tendancy to bounce
from  one  side  of  the  track to the other and many drivers spin off this
corner.

 Then  flat-out through the small chicane at Variante Alfa and down towards
two  bumpy left handers, Rivazza, that shake the car so much you can hardly
see where you are going.

 Back  in  5th,  you approach Bassa, a right hand chicane that leaves you a
bit  blind with no idea where the apex is, then weave through Traguardo and
back into the finishing straight.


MONACO
======

Length Of Circuit ------- 2.068 Miles/3.328 Km
Number Of Laps ---------- 78
Total Distance ---------- 161.332 Miles/259.584 Km
Lap Record (Qualifying) - 1M 20.344 Seconds
Lap Record (Race) ------- 1M 24.368 Seconds

 The  Qualifying  laps  for  this  circuit are very important because it is
practically  impossible  to  pass  anybody  here unless they make a driving
error or crash.

 The  cars  are  set  up  for  maximum downforce and suspension is a little
softer to deal with the many bumps on the course.

 After  the mayhem of the first bend at Sainte Devote, when the field tries
to  squeeze  through,  you  pass Roses Bar flat out in 6th at 170mph, great
uphill  straight  but full of dips, bumps, and manhole covers that make the
car judder and thump.

 Then  to  Casino, hard through the left-hander and quickly right downhill,
off  camber, almost brushing the barrier as the road gets narrower, slipery
and very bumpy.

 Mirabeau  next; a tight simple, second gear bend.  Accelerate sharply then
brake  practically to a standstill for Loews.  This is a first gear, 40mph,
hairpin  that needs maximum lock (many drivers increase the lock of the car
for  this Race).  Often, there is a procession of cars here and if your not
in the first 6 then you have to wait your turn.

 Accelerate  gently through Portier then flat out into the Tunnel, 3rd, 4th
and 5th.  The improved lighting in the tunnel means that its not so much of
a  shock  coming  out of the daylight but you have to be careful; the dirt,
grease  and  oil  does  not get washed away by the rain and this is not the
place to skid.  Roar out in 6th at about 175mph, stay well out to the right
and  line  up for the Nouvelle Chicane.  Take this fast in 4th, left- right
zigzag  but  this  narrow section needs to be driven with utmost precision.
One touch of the kerb and your out of the Race.

 Out  of  the  chicane,  flat  out in 5th, the road widens and you head for
Tarbac  and  the  Swimming  Pool  complex.   in  3rd,  2 esses, acceleerate
briefly,  brake hard and almost touch the barriers with the right hand side
of  the  car.   La Rescasse next, than in 2nd for Antony Noghes, accelerate
out  of  this  bend, roar through the gears and then in 6th heading for the
finishing straight.


MONTREAL: CANADA
================

Length Of Circuit ------- 2.753 Miles/4.430 Km
Number Of Laps ---------- 69
Total Distance ---------- 189.975 Miles/305.670 Km
Lap Record (Qualifying) - 1M 19.837 Seconds
Lap Record (Race) ------- 1M 22.077 Seconds

 A   fast   circuit   comprising  of  a  succession  of  hard  braking  and
accelerating.   Drivers  take  off downforce which make the slower sections
much more difficult and emphasis the uneven surface.

 From  the start, the cars proceed into the slow left/right 1st gear Island
Hairpin,  taken at 45mph.  The drivers get a lot of wheelspin as they leave
this  corner  and  build  up  to  the long extended "s" bend which they can
approach  in  5th  at  160mph.   Then its flat out in 6th, 180mph to 185mph
along  the  back  straight  before slamming on the brakes for the 1st gear,
40mph  Pits  Hairpin.   Its  very important to get a good, fast exit out of
this  bend,  then  right,  left,  through  what  is  thought to be the most
dangerous  part  of  the circuit with high concrete walls on either side of
the  track.   Past  Old Pits and into 6th gear, than accelerate through the
straight  at  175-185-195mph.  This is the fastest section of the track and
leads  to one of the least favorite corners mong many drivers, down to 5th,
160mph,  a quick right-left.  Its very easy clip the kerb and spin off here
either on entry or on the apex, but if you come out of it well, it sets you
up for a charge down the finishing straight.


MEXICO CITY: MEXICO
===================

Length Of Circuit ------- 2.747 Miles/4.421 Km
Number Of Laps ---------- 69
Total Distance ---------- 189.584 Miles/305.049 Km
Lap Record (Qualifying) - 1M 16.696 Seconds
Lap Record (Race) ------- 1M 16.788 Seconds

 A hard, bumpy circuit, which needs lots of gear changes but generally very
fast.   The  cars require little downforce and becoaus of the high altitude
almost  20%  of  power is lost but this compensated by a reduction in drag.
Concentration  is  vital on this course.  Drift off-line and you find dusty
parts  of  the  track with little grip.  Mexico can also have vicious bumps
that  can  cause  a lot of damage to the car and knock the breath from your
body.

 After a long straight, the fastest on the course in 6th at 190mph, and one
of the best places to overtake, you brake hard onto the 1st corner, down to
55mph in 2nd or 3rd.  Right, left, right into the shorter straight flat out
towards  a long series of bends, the Esses.  Its easier if you can get into
a  rhythm because they are very similar.  When you hit the back streight in
6th  and  head for Peralta, a notorious corner taken in 5th at 160mph and a
challenge  to any driver, exit on a kerb than accelerate to 170mph past the
grandstand.


MAGNY-COURS: FRANCE
===================

Length Of Circuit ------- 2.654 Miles/4.271 Km
Number Of Laps ---------- 72
Total Distance ---------- 191.120 Miles/307.510 Km
Lap Record (Qualifying) - 1M 14.559 Seconds
Lap Record (Race) ------- 1M 19.168 Seconds

 This  new  course  in  the  World  championships.  Smooth and challenging,
doubling back on itself, with fast fourth-fifth gear corners and first gear
hairpins  as  well a long top-speed straight, Magny-Cours has been built to
appel to the Formula One spectators and TV crews alike.

 The circuit has several constant radius corners but the cars are set up to
carry  less downforce.  The 5 fast straights mean that acceleration and top
speed  are  more  important  than  the fraction of a second to be gained at
corners when carrying more downforce.

 After  the  pits  straight, you roar into a fast left hander which changes
into a slow left hander at Big Bend.  Taken in 4th or 5th, this propels you
into  a  slow left hander it Big bend then turns into a long sweeping right
hander:  Estoril Bend.  Taken in 4th of 5th, this propels you into the long
back straight, past the Golf Course Bend, in top at 190mph.

 After  the  fastest point, brake hard for the 1st gear hairpin at Adelaide
Bend  and  turn  into the infield part of th course.  Swing into the 2nd or
3rd gear Esse then a short straight before Nurburring, a slight right, then
a  sweeping right, then a sweeping left which turns into a double- apex 180
degree  bend  that  throws  you into another short straight almost parallel
with the previous one.

 Next,  a  5th gear left handler, Imola, which leads into the fast 4th gear
bend  at  Chateau  d'Eau  then another short straight, under the bridge and
into  the  chicane  before  you take a good line sharp right into the Lycee
Bend, then flat out across the finishing line.


SILVERSTONE: BRITAIN
====================

Length Of Circuit ------- 3.202 Miles/5.153 Km
Number Of Laps ---------- 60
Total Distance ---------- 192 Miles/309.180 Km
Lap Record (Qualifying) - 1M 20.939 Seconds
Lap Record (Race) ------- 1M 26.379 Seconds

 The  circuit  has  been  altered  for the 1991 Championship because it was
considered  far  too dangerous.  A bend such as Club corner taken in 6th at
185mph with no run off track particually hazardous.

 Copse  is a forth gear corner that pushes you into a fast straight leading
to  Maggots,  where  you  swing  into the "S" shaped Beckets in 2nd or 3rd.
This  slows the cars down and provides a better specticle for the cars down
and  provides  a  better  spectacle for the crowd.  Then the cars roar away
from Chapel along the Hangar Straight, under the bridge, towards the double
apex right-hander Stowe; taken in 3rd of 4th at 100mph.

 After  the  Vale complex you have to take Club, a 3rd gearleft-hander that
throws you into the Abbey straight, a favorite overtaking stretch.  In 6th,
at  185mph  sweep  into  the  Farm  Straight  and a fast right under bridge
towards Priory and Brooklands.

 Two second or third gear left-handers followed by two right-handers ending
at  Luffield,  then  its  flat  out along the fast Woodcote and through the
finishing straight.


HOCKENHEIM: GERMANY
===================

Length Of Circuit ------- 4.227 Miles/6.802 Km
Number Of Laps ---------- 45
Total Distance ---------- 190.236 Miles/306.900 Km
Lap Record (Qualifying) - 1M 37.087 Seconds
Lap Record (Race) ------- 1M 43.569 Seconds

 There  are  3  chicanes  on  the circuit, one fast and two that have to be
taken slowly.  the rest of the course is a series of streights.

 This  means that to have good top speed almost all downforce is taken off,
and  the  cars  are a horror to drive with no grip and twitchy on any bend.
From  the  start  you take a 4th gear right hander at 140mph, then put your
foot  down  till  you hit 6th at 200mph for the fastest part of the course.
Brake hard for Chicane 1 which hooks sharp right and can be taken in 2nd at
50mph but if you drive a bad line you may be forced to drop to bottom gear.
Up  through the gears again, flat out, 200mph for the sweeping right-hander
then  brake  again for another chicane which you take in 2nd at 50mph, come
out  of  that  and  roarinto  Ostkurve,  one  of  the  fastest bends of any
championship course, take it in 6th, 200mph.  Slow down for Chicane 2, drop
to  4th or 3rd, then flat out for the rest of the straight until Agipkurve.
thisis  the  most difficult part of the circuit and tends to wear out tyres
prematurely.   Drivers  have  not built up any rhythm for the bends and all
concentration is loston the long straights.

 Approaching  Sachskurve,  slip to 4th, line the car into the right-hander,
foot  down,  sweep  round,  then second gear to take the hairpin, speed up,
line  up  the car for the tight right-hander, brake lightly and roar out of
Opelkurve in 3rd towards the finishing straight.

 Hockenheimring  is a good overtaking circuit but the slow chicanes require
brutal  braking  and  brakes  tend to cool off on the long straights making
them  less  efficient.   Most  drivers  find  it  difficult  to establish a
satisfactory rhythm on this course.


BUDAPEST: HUNGARY
=================

Length Of Circuit ------- 2.466 Miles/3.968 Km
Number Of Laps ---------- 77
Total Distance ---------- 189.851 Miles/305.536 Km
Lap Record (Qualifying) - 1M 16.147 Seconds
Lap Record (Race) ------- 1M 21.547 Seconds

 A  tough  but  reletivly slow circuit with a large number of corners and a
few straights.  Its difficult to overtake on this course and you have to be
quite  patient,  waiting  for the right moment.  Cars are usually set upfor
more downforce to gain the advantage of good grip on the numerous bends.

 Roaring  away from the start, downhill, flat out in 6th at 185mph, the pit
straight  is  the  main  overtaking  point on the course.  Then through the
first  of  several  constant  radius corners at 130mph in 4th, a short back
straight,  then a double-apex left-hander leading to a long sweeping right.
Accelerate  to  165mph  in 5ht, sweep left then go into another double apex
bend.   Slow  down  for a second gear chicane, then drive hard into a whole
series  of fast corners before the constant radius Pit Lane bend throws you
into the long finishing straight.

 The twisting up and down nature of the track means that the average speeds
are  quite  low, about 105-110mph and tyres wear out quickly as the drivers
lose  patience  and  try  to exit corners faster than the tyres will allow.
Most  teams  find  that drivers come in for a tyre change much earlier than
planned, if only to get away from the queues that develop on this circuit.


SPA: BELGIUM
============

Length Of Circuit ------- 4.313 Miles/6.940 Km
Number Of Laps ---------- 44
Total Distance ---------- 189.747 Miles/305.560 Km
Lap Record (Qualifying) - 1M 47.811 Seconds
Lap Record (Race) ------- 1M 55.087 Seconds

 Fast,  challenging  and  exilerating,  Spa is a favourite among Grand Prix
drivers.   It successfully combines fast 6th and 5th gear corners with good
1st  gear  hairpins  and 2nd gear chicanes.  Generally cars are set up with
little downforce.

 From  the start line, there is a short space of time before the cars reach
the  1st  gear,  45rpm  La  Source  hairpin,  the scene of many opening-lap
shunts,  as  26  cars brake from 160mph to 45mph while trying desperatly to
overtake  each  other.   Then, its a Race up through the gears, downhill in
6th  at  180mph, you drop into the Eau Rouge dip, a slight left, then sweep
right uphill past Reidillon.  This is one driving line you cannot afford to
get wrong, one error and your off the circuit!

 Speed  up  through  Kemmel  and  into a long straight, flat out at 195mph,
weave through Les Combes and then take Melmedy in 2nd.

 This  is  a tricky 180 degree corner, downhill and off-chamber.  Pouhon is
next; an extremely difficult left-hander that starts off in 6th, then drops
to  5th at 150mph.  Through Les Fagnes and Stavelot then brake hard for the
Bus  Stop  Chicane.   Bus Stop is the drivers least favourite corner, to be
quick you have to run over the shallow kerbs, which is always a risk.

 The  weather  is  always  a  big  factor  at  Spa-Francorchamps  and it is
invariably  wet  which  results  in  small,  hazardous  steams crossing the
circuit, making driversadjust their driving line.


MONZA: ITLAY
============

Length Of Circuit ------- 3.604 Miles/5.800 Km

 Monza  is  always full of screaming, hysterical crowds being marshmellowed
by  even  more hysterical officials.  The drivers absorb the atmosphere and
are  spurred  on to perform to their utmost, especially if they are driving
an italian car.

 The  cars  run little wing to take advantage of the very fast start/finish
straight,  Rettifilo,  which  is crossed at speeds inexcess of 200mph.  The
track  has been modified to make it safer including the introduction of the
2nd  gearVariante  Goodyear,  a chicane that leads into the famous 5th gear
Curva Grande.

 Flat  out  towards Lesmos in 5th there is another 2nd gear chicane:  Curva
della  Roggia  before  the double right-hander Curva do Lesmos corner.  You
take  the  first  part  in 4th gear then power up to take the 2nd part flat
out.   These  corners have to be taken just right for any slight error will
slow  you  down  considerably and puy you in a bad position for the 180 mph
back straight, Curva del Serragilo.

 Then  its  a  tricky 3rd gear chicane Variante Ascari, come out of this in
5th  and  change  down Rettifilo Centro at 190mph in top and brake hard for
the famous Curva Parabolica, a fast, 180 degree right-hander thats taken in
4th  at  140mph.   Accelerate to 160mph out of the bend, then storm through
the finishing line with your foot down ni 6th.


ESTORIL: PORTUGAL
=================

Length Of Circuit ------- 2.703 Miles/4.350 Km
Number Of Laps ---------- 71

 Estoril  is a tough, tiring circuit with several long, constant radius and
some  very  bumpy straights.  If the car is starting from near the front of
the  grid  then  its  wise  to run a lot of downforce to cope with the long
bends,  but it you are starting lowdown in the order then you must use less
downforce, otherwise you'll find it very difficult to overtake.

 The  start/finish  line is in the middle of the circuits longest straight.
cars  accelerate  to  190mph  in 6th before Turn 1, trying to overtake each
other,  before  braking  into  4th gear corner.  Turn 2 is another sweeping
right-hander,  then  its  up  to 5th for the short straight, brake hard for
turn  3,  the  Martini  Bridge Bend, a tight double-apex right-hander.  Its
important to drive a good line through the infield at estoril, avoiding the
kerbs and the sandy, greasy edges.

 Turn  4  is  almost a mirror image of the previous corner.  Take the left-
hander  in 2nd at 45mph, then Racew up through the gears, swing through the
slight  right-hander,  Turn  5,  then  flat  out in 6ht at 180mph.  This is
probably  the best place to overtake on the whole circuit.  Through Turn 6,
a  corner  that begins tight then opens out, foot down for a short straight
and  into  the long series of fast bends, Turns 7-8-9-10.  Its important to
maintain  a good rhythm through these bends, keep concentration, change up,
change down, brake hard.

 The final corner before the pit straight, Turn 11, is a real challenge for
any Formula One driver.  its a long, constant redius sweeping bend that you
enter  in  4th  and leave in 5th, accelerating all the way, ready to get in
position ot overtake.

 Estoril is a circuit thats not only hard on gears and tyres but also tough
on  tyres;  the  long sweeping bends often mean that many drivers return to
the  pits  earlier  than  planned  as the heat and rough surface take their
toll.


BARCELONA: SPAIN
================

Length Of Circuit ------- 2.950 Miles/4.747 Km
Number Of Laps ---------- 65

Lap Record (Qualifying) - 1M 18.751 Seconds
Lap Record (Race) ------- 1M 22.837 Seconds

 A new circuit that has a wide range of corners from slow, 2nd gear to fast
4th/5th gear and includes a very long 200mph overtaking straight.  In shape
it is very similar to Estroril but the surface is much smoother.

 Drivers  will  have  to  compromise  between downforce needed for the many
bends  and  the  speed  required  for  the pit straight.  Most will opt for
little downforce and try to nurse their cars through the infield section.

 From  the start, accelerate through the gears, flat out in 6ht heading for
Elf,  a  slow  left  hander.  if you are not in lead, this gives you a good
opportunity  to  overtake  under braking.  then, its a slight left before a
long  sweeping 4th gear right-hander that you leave in 5th and speed up for
the short straight to Repsol; a corner which turns back on itself but whose
angle progressively widens.  Next, a short burst of speed into seat, brake,
drop  to  2nd  at  45rpm, accelerate, then slight left, slight right before
taking  Wurth  in  4th  and  roaring  off  to  Campsa, a fast, 3rd/4th gear
right-hander.

 After that its right and left through Nissan and flat out, up to la Caxia.
This  is  another corner that starts tight and opens out.  Steer in, get on
line  early  and  as  the  corner widens, move to the outside of the track.
There  is no time to put your foot down before you reach the Banc Sabadell,
along constant radius bend.

 Next  comes  the  approach  to the straight.  Sweepright, foot down , then
right again take Renault in 3rd, change to 4th and charge out in 5th before
hitting 6th, flat out, past the finishing line.


SUZUKA: JAPAN

 An  interesting,  undulating  course  and  the only figure of eight in the
Grand  Prix.   Tiough,  6th  gear corners combine with 1st gear hairpins to
make  tyre  stops essential.  Little downforce is set because of the 3 long
straights and the cars generally feel sluggish in the corners.

 The  pits  straight  is  a  6ht  gear, 190mph charge where it is perfectly
possible  to overtake, then its down to 5th for the First curve.  You drift
the  car  to  the  left  side of the track, down to 4th and Race out of the
corner.

 Next  you  came  to  a series of 4th gear bends (The S curve).  Driving as
tight  a  line  as possible through these, you leave Dunlop Curve with your
foot  down  in  5th,  going uphill and blind for the oncoming left- hander.
The car feels light as you roar over the bumpy crest and come down hard for
the 2 right handers Degner Curve and Crossover.

 You  now  pass  under the circuit and approach at a slow 40mph for the 1st
gear Hairpin Curve.  This corner can play havoc with your rear tyres if you
try  to exit too quickly and overspin the back wheels.  Now line up the car
for  the  long double apex left hander.  Enter in 4th but slow down for the
2nd part of Spoon Curve for its quite easy to spin off here.

 Next you get one of the fastest straights, 6th gear, 180mph, sweeping left
with  both  hands  on  the  wheel, ease your car carefully through the slow
Casio Chicane then storm through flat out past the finishing straight.


ADELAIDE: AUSTRALIA
===================

Length Of Circuit ------- 2.349 Miles/3.780 Km
Number Of Laps ---------- 81
Total Distance ---------- 190.292 Miles/306.180 Km
Lap Record (Qualifying) - 1M 15.671 Seconds
Lap Record (Race) ------- 1M 18.203 Seconds

 A  hard,  unforgetting  street circuit that requires numerous gear changes
and  is  very  tough on brakes and tyres.  The last Grand Prix venue of the
champoinship  season  and  always  very exciting as teams try to finish the
year  off  with  a  win.   Adelaide  has  been responsible for deciding the
outcome  of several championship, the most famous being Nigel Mansells blow
out  in 1986.  Again, there is a need to compromise; youll need a lot of 90
degree  bends  but  you  will  also  need  speed  of  the Jones and Brabhim
straights.

 After  the  start,  you come to a fast 4th gear chicane at Wakefield Road,
take this at about 140mph then flat out towards the Finders Street complex.
The road is very bumpy here and the occasional manhole cover will knock the
breath  out  of  you.   Brake hard for a difficult 2nd gear 90 degree right
hander then left 90 degrees and right 90 degrees.  Through East TerRace and
a  fast off-camber left-hander, drop down to 2nd gear and steer a good line
to  hit  Jones's  straight in 5th.  Foot down, then a slight right and into
Brabham straight, under the 2 bridges flat out, 200mph in 6th.

 Next  you step on the brakes to take the tricky 1st gear 40mph hairpin and
speed  up  into  3rd for a deceptive tightening corner stay wide as long as
possible  hit the apex late, brake, change down, take a line on the outside
and  follow  the  curve of the bend to give you the smoothest possible exit
angle.   Past  Pits  and  right through Racecourse, brake hard, change down
into 2nd for a good fast exit into the finishing straight.
