Play F1 ROC 2 - Race of Champions Online

F1 ROC 2: Race of Champions came out in 1993 for the Super Nintendo, developed by SETA Corporation. It was one of those racing titles that tried to capture the feel of Formula 1 during a time when the SNES library was full of experiments in the genre. The game doesn't try to be a flashy showpiece; it's straightforward, focused on the racing itself without much spectacle.

You control a Formula 1 car, competing in a full championship across various international circuits. The main objective is to qualify well and then win races against aggressive AI opponents who will block and bump you without hesitation. Signature mechanics include managing tire wear and fuel consumption, forcing strategic pit stops, and wrestling with the car's handling on tight corners. The pacing is tense, especially in the early laps when your car feels heavy and unresponsive. It feels rewarding to finally upgrade to a faster vehicle that actually holds the road and accelerates out of turns. Driving cleanly while fighting for position gives a genuine sense of accomplishment.
