Comment: Formulawan is a pretty fun game. It doesn't require a huge time investment, which is a plus. But the time you do spend is pretty intense.

You start out with a bare bones crew to start out your Team. The in-game currency, Bolts, can be acquired either by real money purchase or by competing in races on a multitude of track layouts.

These bolts are used to hire team specialists, or buy new cars/drivers and performance enhancing parts. As you pump up your team, your driver(s) will be noticeably doing better on the track which rewards you with even more bolts to spend.

The actual races are probably the best part of the game, especially when you're involved in a particularly close race. The outcome can be changed in the blink of an eye, but I've learned that rubbin's racing, lol.

It's got a very nice time spent to enjoyment level, worth a check out.

Comment: Pretty basic text-based game. I like this game, due to its simplicity, but more due to one factor. I only have to log on and play it for like 10 minutes every day! Actually, playing this game made me realise just how many staff and members a F1 team actually needs. Aside from the pit team and the driver, they need separate mechanics, a manager, a trainer, and a commercial assistant! Anyway, this game basically involves managing an F1 team, just as the description says. You don't race the races yourself, you manage the team who does it for you. Aside from the racing, you'll have to recruit staff, train your driver, look for a good sponsor, tune up your car, and loads of other tiny bits that are also important to your racing.

One of the things I like about this game though, is you can watch back your races after you raced them, then you can save the ones that you like (Maximum 20 saved races). This should be standard in all types of simulation games, but I guess I've seen too many simulation games that never show any of the action on video, relying on text and still images to show the action.

Overall, I give this game a 7. Better than average, but nothing TOO special. Fun though!
