F1 Circus MD

F1 Circus MD is a top-down Formula One racing game for the Sega Mega Drive. In World Championship mode, players qualify for each Grand Prix by racing against AI opponents to secure a starting position, then compete in single races with multiple car classes. Gameplay features open-wheel cars reaching over 200 mph on straights, with control over acceleration, braking, and drifting through complex tracks. There are no major character storylines; instead, fictional teams compete based on 1991 real-world cars and liveries. It stands out for its precise top-down view, career progression, and focus on skill and strategy over pure arcade action.
