F1 Challenge, known as F-1 Live Information (Ｆ－１ライブインフォメーション) in Japan and often printed as F-1 Challenge, is a Sega Saturn racing game developed by Bell. Published in Japan in November 1995 by Sega, it was later published in North America in September 1996 by Virgin Interactive Entertainment. The game is based on the 1995 Formula One World Championship.

Gameplay

The game is only licensed by the Formula One Constructors Association (FOCA), not the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), meaning only a small subset of courses are available. Additionally, while every major vehicle manufacturer is represented in-game through computer-controlled cars, players only have access to five.

Cars

	Benetton B195 (Michael Schumacher)

	Williams FW17 (Damon Hill)

	Ferrari 412 T2 (Jean Alesi)

	Tyrrell 023 (Ukyo Katayama)
	Tyrrell had a poor season in 1995, finishing 9th in the constructor's championship, however its car did have a Japanese engine and driver, which may explain its inclusion in this Japanese-made video game.
	McLaren MP4/10 (Mika Häkkinen)

Courses

	Hockenheim

	Suzuka Circuit

	Monte Carlo

	Neo City Novice

	Neo City Advanced

	Neo City Expert

Unlike later games this is only licensed by the [[wikipedia:Formula One Constructors Association|Formula One Constructors Association]] (FOCA), not the [[wikipedia:Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] (FIA).
+{{stub}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''', known as '''''F-1 Live Information''''' (Ｆ－１ライブインフォメーション) in Japan and often printed as '''''F-1 Challenge''''', is a [[Sega Saturn]] racing game developed by [[Bell]]. Published in Japan in November 1995 by [[Sega]], it was later published in North America in September 1996 by [[Virgin Interactive Entertainment]]. The game is based on the [[wikipedia:1995 Formula One World Championship|1995 Formula One World Championship]].
-The game is based on the 1995 formula one racing season, and lets you play as either [[wikipedia:Michael Schumacher|Michael Schumacher]] (Benetton), [[wikipedia:Damon Hill|Damon Hill]] (Williams), [[wikipedia:Jean Alesi|Jean Alesi]] (Ferrari), [[wikipedia:Ukyo Katayama|Ukyo Katayama]] (Tyrrell), or [[wikipedia:Mika Häkkinen|Mika Häkkinen]] (McLaren), driving around one of four tracks; [[wikipedia:Hockenheimring|Hockenheim]], the [[wikipedia:Suzuka Circuit|Suzuka Circuit]], [[wikipedia:Circuit de Monaco|Monte Carlo]] and the fictional "Neo City" (complete with three track configurations).
+==Gameplay==
+The game is only licensed by the [[wikipedia:Formula One Constructors Association|Formula One Constructors Association]] (FOCA), not the [[wikipedia:Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile|Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] (FIA), meaning only a small subset of courses are available. Additionally, while every major vehicle manufacturer is represented in-game through computer-controlled cars, players only have access to five.
