The curbs start out nice and clean with their alternate red and white stripes, but as the race goes on they become more and more blackened by tyre marks from cars running over them. Completely useless really, but authentic all the same. Weather effects like rain are also nicely done, causing realistic visibility problems as the cars in front slice through the surface water. Sound in general is a little disappointing, with the car not quite getting that irritating wasp-like quality you would expect. The other cars however sound fantastic as they swoosh past you, and there are nice touches like the Doppler effect as cars pass you in the pits.
Crashes sound pretty unspectacular.
Where you would expect to hear a loud crack of bodywork and shower of gravel, you get a simple thud and a slight rustle. However, what F1WGP gives you is a nice blend of arcade and sim, which in my mind would be perfect for the uninitiated amongst you and die-hards alike. The split screen two-player option is also a bonus, and works extremely well. There is a noticeable dip in performance, but it's not enough to render the game unplayable. In F1WGP you have a pretty cool racer on your hands.
