MicroProse Formula One Grand Prix (1992) video game fan website.
Formula One Grand Prix (known as World Circuit in the United States) is a racing simulator released in 1992 by MicroProse for the Atari ST, Amiga and PC created by game designer Geoff Crammond. It is often referred to as Grand Prix 1, MicroProse Grand Prix, or just F1GP.
This website is primarily focused on the DOS version of F1GP/WC, although some files for other platforms are also available.
CF Evolution
CF Evolution 0.3.1 has been released.
CF Evolution is a general purpose open-source editor for F1GP/WC. The program supports editing both the track files and the game executable. It is a successor project to Chequered Flag.
The biggest improvements compared to existing track editors include:
It is possible to create playable tracks with full computer car lines.
Computer car lines can be generated automatically for any track by simulating laps and keeping the fastest line. An incomplete line can also be completed, leaving hand-edited sectors untouched. After editing a sector by hand, the rest of the line can be repaired so the lap keeps its shape.
Complete random circuits can be generated, including elevation, kerbs, pit lane, starting grid, countdown boards and scenery taken from the base track.
Track shaping tools are provided: reducing a track to a short straight canvas to build on, and squaring up a track whose start and end headings do not match.
The program is available for download at https://github.com/CyberArchitect777/cf-evolution/releases/tag/v0.3.1, as well as the File Archive section of this website:

gp64
gp64 version 0.2.4, built by Martin Davidson, has been released.
gp64 is a tool which runs F1GP natively on Windows or macOS (on ARM). Under the covers it's a 16-bit emulator written in Rust with VGA, Adlib music and a serial modem too.
The project is available at: https://github.com/0x4D44/gp64/releases/tag/v0.2.4, as well as the File Archive section of this website:
To use it, drop gp64 alongside your existing game files and run it. It finds F1GP.BAT or GP.EXE and starts the game. It contains no original code or resources, so people need their own copy. F12 opens an in-game menu for recording, link play and a video scaler. (If you want to run the installer then you can do that with gp64 install.exe).
