we face (real) Formula 1 drivers!

At first glance, we might think Circuit Superstars is just another game of cars, with no big pretensions, other than to entertain a few hours. However, the Original Fire Games racing game, published by Square Enix, turns out to be much richer and deeper. And in particular through a DLC, already available and which allows players to challenge real Formula 1 drivers!
