Dear FIREFOX users, PLEASE NOTE:

Sadly, the game performs very poorly when played on Mozilla Firefox.
Also the controls will malfunction at random times.
I also experienced a freezing browser. I couldn't figure out why...
The whole game was made in Flash, so no extra fancy stuff.
It has to be a problem within Firefox or its Flash plugin.

Playing this game on Firefox may cause frustration :(

Performance on Google CHROME however is just great.
You'll drive faster lap times on Chrome !
____________________________________________
**HINTS**

Tap the accelerator to brake or just lift it. The car slows down quick enough.
Don't use the reverse-keys to brake.

To an extent the game allows you to drive through tire barriers.
These mainly serve the purpose to make walls more visible on critical parts of the track.

It's 1987 again !
1000 hp are waiting to be unleashed.

Popping turbochargers and flame spitting exhausts.
Cars, wide & low, throwing sparks everywhere when underbodies kiss the bumpy tarmac.

This was the turbo era of grand prix racing.
There was never something like it again. Have fun in '87 ! :)

Great race game

So this here was a great game I live the depth and detail of it adjustment of the brake so that you can really drift some turns or make them sharper would be a plus its one of the better car race games, and love all the medal achievments anyways good game

~X~

This game is Very Good!
I like the games you make very much :D

(but f stefan.....)

The game is really addictive,simple but addictive,and i like to race with all the 1987 classic teams,good work and i still waiting Grand Prix Ultima Volta 2 :D

GREAT GAME!!!!! I HAVE ALL LAP RECORDS OF ALL THE TRACKS!!!!!!! TRY TO WIN!

Very happy with the game! I'm happy that someone took the time to make a game dedicated to one of the greatest years in F1 history! The game runs very smoothly, and it's a very fun game to play if you get everything right. I would like some features that I was somewhat surprised to see not in the game otherwise:

Qualifying?
Possibly an adjustment of brake power (currently lifting off the gas basically brings your car to a dead stop, maybe make that adjustable)
Fixed hitboxes (the hitboxes currently are very weird in the way that sometimes the AI gets punted off and sometimes you get punted off, it can get very annoying when you're trying to get past an AI that is extremely slow)
Field of view adjustment? (the current field of view is VERY small, so you normally don't see the corner coming until it's too late, if we could zoom the game out, then that would make the game much more playable)
Practice mode where you can drive unlimited laps of the track, try different setups, and whatnot without any AI?
Possibly fuel consumption and for the super-hardcore fans, actual GP-length races (safety car periods maybe too?)?
Car damage that could force retirements?

If those things are added, this game would be rated 5 stars. Now... onto the positives...

The game itself is a LOT of fun to play. As I mentioned before, it's not a very forgiving game if you run aggressive setups, but those setups can pay off with the extra speed. It's also super satisfying to nail a particular set of corners flat-out and overtaking many AIs in the process. The intro sequence itself was done very well. All of the medals take a real damn effort to get, and that's also what makes the game so satisfying to play.

Overall, one of my top flash racing games, but only a couple of things to be added and it WILL be the top flash racing game I've played.
