Racing Simulation 2 (Germany), released by Ubisoft in 1999 for the Nintendo 64, is a dedicated Formula One racing simulator that prioritises authentic handling over arcade accessibility. Built around a demanding physics engine, it requires precision and careful throttle control across its 16 international courses. Though it lacks official F1 driver licenses, its deep mechanics and multiple difficulty tiersโspanning from Amateur to Proโmake it a rewarding challenge for serious racing fans.
How to Play
The objective is to master the physics engine, shave seconds off your lap times, and secure podium finishes across single races or full championship seasons. For browser play, default Nintendo 64 controls are typically mapped to your keyboard:
- Steer: Arrow keys
- Accelerate: X (A button)
- Brake: Z (B button)
- Pause: Enter (Start)
Tips
- Smooth steering and gradual acceleration are vital; treating the throttle like an on/off switch will easily spin your car on sharp corners.
- Start in Amateur mode to get a feel for the handling and learn the tracks before disabling driving assists in the higher tiers.
