Ironically, the 2003 version has the best graphics out of all the PS2 formula games, and it even had working rear view mirrors. IDK why they removed rearview mirrors from 2004~2006. TBF, Formula 2003 had the worst AI though.
I still never forget about causing "THE BIG ONE" in Formula One 2003. Especially at Monza where the AI never pass each other even on the straights. Then i just stay in 9th place, park the car and BOOM! 15 CAR PILEUP!
yeah one thing that still suprises me is how fast the laps went by due to the game running super smooth on the ps2 i have the slim so f1 2001 (liverpool studio) had some fps flexing below 30 and i think 2002 had it aswell not sure on that one
