'''''Aguri Suzuki F-1 Super Driving''''',{{efn|{{nihongo|鈴木亜久里のＦ１スーパードライビング|Suzuki Aguri no F-1 Super Driving}} in Japan<ref>{{cite web | url = http://superfamicom.org/info/suzuki-akuri-no-f-1-super-driving | title = Japanese title | publisher = SuperFamicom.org | access-date = 2012-07-28}}</ref>}} released as '''''Redline F-1 Racer''''' in North America, is a Formula One racing simulator game for the [[Engineering:Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Engineering:Game Boy|Game Boy]]. The game is named after and sponsored by the Japanese Formula 1 driver, Aguri Suzuki; his likeness and imagery were retained in the North American version despite the name change.

==Summary==
[[File:RedLineF1SNESRacingScreen.jpg|250px|left|thumb|Gameplay from the game's two-player mode.]]
Everything from treacherous right turns to [[Chemistry:Gasoline|gasoline]] is simulated as the player tries to win the FIA World Drivers' and Constructors' Championships. The player can play a single race (non-championship Formula One race) or a season mode where the winner takes all, and the losers can wait until next year. This game is based on the 1992 Formula One season. The player's default role is a driver on the Footwork Racing team (Aguri Suzuki's old team), though they can choose to race with pastiches of five other teams, namely McLaren, Ferrari, Williams, Benetton and Jordan (the latter two uses their 1991 liveries).

Players are given the ability to customize their racing vehicle; transforming them into the pit crew in addition to the driver himself. [[Engineering:Suspension (vehicle)|Suspension]], wings, and [[Engineering:Brake|brake]]s among other things can be altered to gain lap times in addition to positions on the track. Winning is near impossible unless the player can successfully tinker with his vehicle from the beginning of the race week. Even the [[Earth:Weather|weather]] can betray the player; having the wrong tires will make the car skid out. Aguri Suzuki appears in the game as the most expert driver.

The graphics in the Super NES/Famicom version use mode 7 graphics similar to ''[[Software:Super Mario Kart|Super Mario Kart]]'' and ''[[Software:F-Zero|F-Zero]]''. In 1993, '''''Aguri Suzuki F-1 Super Driving''''' was released for the Game Boy handheld, exclusively in Japan. In this game, the player can control a [[Engineering:Kart racing|kart]] and a Formula One car.

The PAL version of the game is considered to be quite rare.

==Reception==
''Electronic Games'' scored the game 83%, with Arnie Katz calling it a "deep Formula One sim".<ref name="EG">''Electronic Games'', issue 13 (October 1993), page 70</ref>
