The franchise, which continued long into the 2010s and to this day, started early on as an install on a Namco System 22 arcade machine. Ridge Racer is an exemplary racing title typical of the 1990s, where the story was telling of the times and what was to come. The most accomplished series of racing games? Perhaps not but it’s oh-so ‘90s and for this list, embracing the theme is just as important. The Lotus Trilogy remained just that – a trilogy – with no sequels following the release of Lotus III in 1992, which incorporated elements of both of its predecessors with a couple of extra cars and a course creation system. Levels would alternate between Esprit and Elan, without a choice, and the sequel also allowed different colours for competitors. While the sequel ditched fuel limits and difficulty levels, it added course based time trials in place of lap levels. That’s to say, an Elan as well an Esprit. Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge launched the series in 1990, with Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 arriving in 1991 with er, a more varied car selection. Die-hard fans and shall we say, slightly older gamers, will be the ones shouting “don’t forget Lotus!”. Remember those? Porsche, Ferrari – games dedicated to those names you’ve definitely heard of.

Never mind the fact it wasn’t officially licenced, the liveries look good enough anyway. Regardless, F1 GP and its sequels have their place in history as true pioneers of the simulator genre. Due to the fact the game would not throttle itself when pushing a computer’s CPU to its limits, lead to the so-called ‘slow-motion driving’ where the absence of a framerate drop meant the game would simply play slower in real time. In fact, the game was so graphically impressive and the way it was developed was so uncompromising, that it caused issues with many gamer’s PCs. It also brought an incredible for-the-time frame rate of 25fps paired with impressive 3D graphics. Adjustable gear ratios, tyre compounds and wing settings were tunable and crucially, had a tangible effect on the way the game felt. Geoff Crammond’s Grand Prix, or F1 GP for short, delivered for the first time something akin to realistic physics in 1991. The franchise’s first entry arrived in 1991 for a run of five games spanning a decade. You could also adjust the speed at which needs are fulfilled, but that's not necessary.A big milestone on the way to the dream of a game that gives you a true F1 experience, was Geoff Crammond’s Grand Prix. You could adjust the overall in-game speed-all activities would take more or less sim-time depending on the settings. If you want to make more global changes, Relativity might be more helpful.

Or you can lower the speeds of individual cars, for example under the same path you'll see CarExpensive1, CarSedan, CarUsed2, etc. NRaas > Retuner > Settings > General > By Tunable XML > Car

For vehicles, you can use Retuner to change the 'kglobalcarspeedmultiplier' setting if you want all the cars to slow down relative to their current speeds.
