    F355 Challenge (F355 チャレンジ), also known as F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa, is an arcade racing game developed by Sega AM2 for Sega NAOMI Multiboard hardware. It is the brainchild of AM2 head and Ferrari enthusiast Yu Suzuki, and was originally released in 1999.

    Like previous Sega AM2 racing games, F355 Challenge is based on a real event endorsed and run by supercar manufacturer, Ferrari - the "Ferrari Challenge". Here, Ferrari owners come together and race across various race tracks across North America. At the time, they were likely running an "F355 Challenge" for the Ferrari F355 as the car was still current, however this changes year-on-year (at the time of writing for example, they are running F430 and 458 challenges, though the basic goals are the same).

    The game's subtitle "Passione Rossa" is Italian for "Red Passion", and takes its name from the official Ferrari owners club of the same name.

    Gameplay

    As the name suggests, the game has you race in a Ferrari F355 against other cars around a series of tracks. No other cars feature within the game though there are a number of options allowing you to modify your car to your liking. The player races through a dozen tracks based on real locations aiming to finish first. Up to two players are supported on-screen at once.

    The arcade F355 Challenge is also notable for its deluxe configuration, which adds an extra two screens on either side of the "main" monitor. This allows players to look left or right and see more of the playfield. It is impossible in F355 Challenge to change the view - games are always played as if the player was sitting in the driver's seat.

    Tracks

    * exclusive to home versions.

    History

    Development

    F355 Challenge was conceived by Yu Suzuki, who had been working for over ten years trying to deliver a true driving experience to video game consumers. The game can be seen as a spiritual sequel to the 1986 release of OutRun, however was designed with a completely different style of gameplay in mind. Whereas OutRun (and many other Sega arcade racers) aim for a unrealistic and fast-paced arcade experience, F355 Challenge aims to be as realistic as possible, giving the user the experience of driving a Ferrari without actually owning one.

    It is rumoured that Yu Suzuki's personal Ferrari F355 was used as a basis for many of the features included in this game.

    The game features a hard rock soundtrack by Japanese singers Genki Hitomi and Minoru Niihara.

    Legacy

    The arcade version was followed by F355 Challenge 2: International Course Edition in 2001. F355 Challenge 2 is largely the same game but gives arcade users the five console-only tracks from F355 Challenge and two new music tracks.

    Versions

    The Original Version Of F355, Released in July 1999 was only available as a deluxe version, and uses its own BIOS. All Arcade Deluxe variants of F355 can support an optional thermal printer that prints out your racing line, lap times and gear shifting. The December 1999 version added multiplayer and single screen twin support, which removes the simulator setting, as the six speed shifter and clutch was removed in this version. and uses a different BIOS that it and F355 2 use. and added VMU support to view your race data on Shenmue Passport although the Dreamcast version can also read this data. In August 2000, F355 Challenge was ported to the Sega Dreamcast, in the west sporting a subtitle, F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa. Acclaim distributed the game in North America and Europe instead of Sega itself. Following the demise of the Dreamcast, it was also brought to the PlayStation 2 in 2002, this time as Ferrari F355 Challenge. The home ports feature a number of options not seen in the arcade original, most notably five unlockable tracks, online play in the Dreamcast version, and a third-person camera in the PS2 version.

    While the use of NAOMI hardware makes the Dreamcast port almost identical to the arcade game, the PlayStation 2 version makes several noticeable cutbacks, rendering in a lower screen resolution and sporting a simpler lighting model and less detailed textures in some areas.

    Sega Logistics Service announced it would end service on the arcade machines on March 31, 2017.[16][17]
