GAME DESCRIPTION

Jean Janu sent me this little bit of info:

"Formula 1 Championship Edition is previewed at www.digitalsports.com <http://www.digitalsports.com>  and it deserves to be listed on your website. If you look at the screenshots, you'll see some pretty good things(but no rear-view mirrors?). For example, compare the tires in F1CE to those in F1RS ...F1CE's are far superior. The sound of F1CE on the Playstation is said (by a review at digitalsports) to be excellent, and this is an area I know was really lame in F1RS. "
