Grand Prix Challenge is an F1 racing game, officially licensed by Formula One Administration Limited. The game features all 22 drivers, 11 cars and 17 circuits from the 2002 F1 season.
The gameplay focuses on racing skills, with various modes including time trials, single races and the full championship. Players can choose from four levels of AI and three skill levels to suit their playing style. In Expert mode, they have control over gear shifting and can adjust traction control settings during a race.
Aside from racing, players can participate in the Grand Prix Challenge - a series of themed mini-championships designed to improve their skills gradually. These challenges introduce new elements such as damage, tire wear, fuel consumption, pitstops, weather conditions and car setup.
The game also features variable weather conditions, including rain that can occur during a race, as well as realistic fuel usage and tire wear. Interactive pitstops allow players to make strategic decisions during stops, while split-screen multiplayer enables friends to compete against each other.
