** F1RC Hands-On Preview **

Last Friday Ubisoft sent us a silver disc containing their new F1 racer; F1
Racing Championship. This special preview version was about 80% done, so we
could take quite a good look at it:

"Having waited so long for this title, anxiously looking forward to it, I
had no time to check out all options right away. I selected a free testing
session, selected the Melbourne track and off I went. And I immediately got
my first surprise. This game will actually let you drive our of the pit box!
That's something I have always wanted to do and now I finally can! So I put
a little throttle on, selected first gear (if you'd like you can even set a
clutch and you can drive out of the box with that. But since I don't have a
clutch pedal on my wheel, I decided to keep the automated clutch option
where it was), put a lot more revs on and off I went. It's a great feeling
taking one of these beasts out of the pit box, even though it's only a game.
You have really got to have high revs to get moving, which is exactly what
you need in real-life as well. At least, that's what I gather from the
telly."

a contest, in which we give away three copies of the game. You can find it
