The resurrected version of MicroProse has announced it is partnering up with Geoff Crammond to bring the classic Formula One Grand Prix simulation series to Steam next year.
The announcement was made on social media earlier today, with MicroProse revealing that the series will now go by the name Geoff Crammond Racing, on account of Codemasters and Electronic Arts currently being the sole owners of the official license to produce F1 games.
Geoff Crammond's Formula One Grand Prix originally got its start back in 1991, with the release of Formula One Grand Prix (or World Circuit, as it was known in North America) for the Amiga, Atari ST, and PC.
This was a title that earned a ton of praise and awards at the time for its authentic recreations of existing circuits, its impressive frame rate (as high as 25fps on the PC version!), and its realistic driving engine, and also later spawned three sequels for PC: Grand Prix 2 (1996), Grand Prix 3 (2000), and Grand Prix 4 (2002). All of these were released under the original MicroProse branding, making it somewhat fitting that the new MicroProse will be the one responsible for bringing them all back to PC in 2026.
Here's a short description of each, with some screenshots:
