GP Challenge is a 1998 Formula One racing
game by Midas Interactive Entertainment
. The game features teams from the season, but the circuits are based on the season. From the games Main Menu: One can choose between a Single Race mode, or to go to the Options Menu.
In Single Race mode; one can choose from a selection of Four Circuits to race on, and the Grands Prix feature realistic schedules from a Formula One Race Weekend; Including: Friday Practice, Saturday Qualifying, and Sunday's Grand Prix.
Also in Single Race mode; One can choose to have a 'Four-Race Championship Season', but manual work from the player is required to undertake in this. After each GP is completed, the game subsequently shows the points each driver has gained for that race. However, the game does not add up the scores each driver gets over the course of the Four-Race season. Instead, players of the game must write down the scores each driver receives after each race, and then add them up manually at the end of the Final Race to see if they have become the Drivers World Champion.
The Four Race Championship Season consists of Rounds 10, 13, 14, and 16 from the season. These tracks are Hungary
in Budapest*, Portugal
in Estoril, Spain
at Jerez, and Australia
at Adelaide. The races consist of either 3 or 5 Laps, depending on the players preference; and one can choose from three modes of difficulty: Novice, Amateur and Professional.
The 1998 Teams are realistic in livery, but the drivers names are fictitious due to licensing arrangements; although the Drivers Helmet Livery's make it apparent to whom they are supposed to be. The game is similar to "Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II" in this sense.
