No, it's a French word, you loathsome little
oik. Go and see the headmaster
immediately. Now where was I? Oh yes.
This sim enters the gripping world of
Formula One motor racing, and, one or two
quibbles aside, deals with it very well. You
are the manager of a racing team (it's up to
you which), and you have two of the worst
drivers in all of motor racing. Quite what it
takes to improve your lot (your car's rubbish
too) I haven't yet worked out, but you can
be sure I will - even if it takes me months.
There are the usual D&H features - a main
menu which connects
lots of other menus,
on which you
manipulate the various factors that will help
you win the race - or, in my case, come last.
Just to make it more humiliating, there's a
slightly crude graphic representation of the
race, with all the cars going incredibly fast
except for yours, which poodle around like
C5s. There are trillions of factors, including
pitstops (can you keep yours to a minimum,
and will it make any difference if you do?),
crashes, hirings and firings, sponsors and
loads more. Hints and tips on this monster
will be more than welcome in
The Clinic.
