This involves going into the garage and customising certain elements.

You can choose to set up your car before you start the race. If you need new tyres, you select 'tyres', if you need the wings looking at, you can choose to do this, and if you have the petrol element switched on (where you need to fill up every so often), you can sort this out. When you go to the pit stop (because you are called or you can't manage to get any further without going in) you get to choose what to change about your car. No matter how much I screech round corners I know I don't need new tyres after 10 seconds of racing. Some messages, such as 'you need new tyres' do seem to get a tad repetitive - especially when it is announced when you've just started the race. These tell of damage, pit stop calls and your performance in the last lap. There are frequent messages sent to you by your support team. Unfortunately, the penalty wasn't enough to stop me, because the time it would have taken me to negotiate sharp corners was worth the time penalty. This means that when you go in for a pit stop you are held back for a couple of seconds for being naughty. If you cut corners (as I often did) you get a stop-go penalty. Other damage can be more serious, for example, if your steering goes, you can't manoeuvre yourself out of the crash position, so the race is technically over, a reverse option for this kind of situation would have proved useful. If you have crashed, a number of things are likely to happen to your car, for example, I often lose tyres after crashes, this, whilst slowing you down, doesn't stop you limping round to the pit stop to sort your car out (more on that in a minute). This is worth pointing out because in a number of racing games that I have played, the wrong way sign doesn't appear immediately and you lose a lot of ground in retracing your steps. This saves driving round for ages the wrong way. For example, after a crash, an arrow immediately appears telling you which way to go round the track. There are a number of features to point out during the actual race. As well as the races, you also have to customise a number of things - such as which track you want to start your championship with, which team you want to race for and set up your player name.

Other options are a free practise, where you just drive around learning the track, a qualifying lap (although you can choose the computer to select random starting positions too) or have a warm-up drive, which records your time and shows this in comparison to the actual race times later. These include a helicopter ride to look over the track - its a nice touch and you get a feel for the track from the air and commentary that gives you advice about the circuit (such as good passing places - but the view from the air is constantly changing and so it's difficult to keep up with the track). Before you start a race, there are a number of options that you can choose. The Championship sees you taking on each GP track in turn and customising your player profile and team before you do so.

These include a Quick Race, allowing you to skip to the Grand Prix circuit of your choice and race for any number of laps, the Single Race, which is similar to the Quick Race but you have the choice of going through other stages in the race (such as selecting your team, choosing the level and selecting the race behaviour - more on this later), the Practise Race, which allows you to drive on any of the GP circuits as a free trial run and the Championship. Official Formula 1 RacingВ features a number of different types of races that you can take part in. Problem is, I love driving games, and no matter how useless I am or how frustrated I get knowing that I could have taken that corner in real life, I still have to play them. So you can understand that when I offered to do this review, I knew that my whole experience of the game would be from grass verges and the back of the pack.

OK, before I start, I have to admit something: I'm possibly the worst driver ever - only in games you understand, in real life, my friend Clare is the worst driver ever, but that's another story.
