Gameplay
Gameplay
The game features all the drivers and tracks from the 2002 Formula One World Championship, but does not represent the replacement driver that featured in the real 2002 Formula One World Championship, therefore Anthony Davidson is not featured. Although the Arrows team collapsed after the 2002 German Grand Prix in the real 2002 Formula One World Championship, players and AI can still drive Arrows cars in later Grands Prix in the game. This marked the first Formula One game to feature the Launch Control and Traction Control despite the system being introduced prior to the 2001 Spanish Grand Prix.
Development
Development
