Geoff Crammond's REVS is arguably the first racing simulator. Simulating 1984 F3 cars at the Silverstone Grand Prix Circuit, it was the first sim to truly model racing simulation as we know it today. Often overlooked by modern audience, Geoff Crammond's 1984 masterpiece helped pioneer the genre. To understand how impressive REVS was in its day requires a detailed look at what came before it and what gamers experienced at the time. In this video, a thorough look at REVS on the BBC Micro.
REVS was a Revolution.

This takes me back to my childhood. My dad bolted a steering wheel from a scrapyard to a potentiometer and plugged it into the joystick port. Must have been one of the first to have a home steering wheel setup. Later added a single pedal, fully down was full throttle, fully up was full brake. You got used to it!

@Alexander TM-290 Hi. No I've searched and can't find a photo unfortunately although I'm sure one existed at one time. It was basically a real wheel bolted to a metal box which also had a red fire button to change gear and a three way switch for accelerate, off throttle and brake. This switch later got replaced with a single pedal. I also had a piece of metal holding down the space bar which enabled a wider steering range, and a golf ball on the T button to automatically restart the engine if I crashed! The golf ball had to be weighted down with a copy of Frank Herbert's "Dune". 🤣

It's so good to see your interest in both the history of motor racing and the history of sims. I had mentioned Revs on your channel a while ago, it is virtually forgotten now, sadly, so it is a real treat to see this video on this classic game, which I never played but which seemed the ultimate test for the budding driver with a limited budget.... F3 around Silverstone. The ultimate challenge in keeping your speed up on a fast track with fairly under-powered cars, so the name was particularly appropriate. Those were the days when the BBC held, maintained and deserved the respect of the people. How things have changed! Not just in the sim world, either.

Wow - EXCELLENT. I am actually one of those old farts who used to be addicted to playing Revs on a BBC micro - and it fostered a life-long love of racing. I own most of the "current" sims of the past 10 years or so (AC, RF2, PC2) but I find some of them rather overwhelming; I don't want to have to spend hours fine-tuning complex setups (I could cope with Revs and GPx setups); I just want to get out on a (virtual) track and enjoy RACING - and whittling down lap times. Your videos have inspired me to have another bash, maybe with iRacing Formula Vees or some historic cars in AC. That BMW e30 looks fun :-) Thank you Sir!

Excellent video. Keyboard Revs veteran here who is going to hunt down the steer assisted version as I think this game will have aged well. The only true racing sim I've ever played, but I've never enjoyed AI in a racing game more. They race each other, not just you. They are broadly consistent performers but can have varied performance race to race to spice it up. If you played multiplayer and instantly abandoned qualifying you could name the other 19 drivers as real drivers to increase immersion for your race. And so true about the accomplishment of milestones. A child faced with the impossibility of even starting the car, gets moving, then makes constant progress over weeks and months. One of only two games ever to make me feel like I was doing something impossible (the other being Frequency on PS2).

I watched this all the way through with the biggest grin on my face! I played this for hours back in the day--and I read every word of those manuals and instructions! It was a magnificent experience. Thank you for this respectful tribute. Edit: Just a couple more things. First, I didn't know later versions of Revs for the Beeb had Computer Assisted Steering, but I've discovered a version of Revs which I can play under emulation with this feature, so thanks for letting me know this detail. Second, Revs was such a good simulator that you could turn the car around on the track and drive around the circuit backwards, which was surely a first for any computer driving game on any platform. If you did this during the race, you could (deliberately) crash head-on into the computer cars. If you did this with enough force, the computer car would be disabled, and remain in position on the track as a wreck, which you (and the other cars) would have to avoid on each subsequent lap.
@strathcarnagelackadaisical9597
As someone who first came to Crammond's work in F1GP on the Atari ST, this back story starting before I was born is fascinating. BBC Micros were still in use in British primary schools as late as the mid 90s, I would never have believed it would have been capable of running such an accurate simulator!
@ab8jeh
@ab8jeh 2 года назад
I had a BBC B with Revs, but never the extended track pack. As a 9 year old I don't think I appreciated how unique it was. Later Grand Prix for the Atari ST, but never knew Crammond did both until later. Also Sentinel for the BBC by Crammond... many hours spent. Basically all my favourite games I later found out were made by the same man. No coincidence, what a legend.

I loved this game and played it for hours on my C64. I got to a point where I could win every race on a C64 or BBC. It could be played with the keyboard (without any steering assist). The key was learning to use the space bar to amplify the steering motion plus some feathering of throttle and brake keys.

Nice documentary! I basically learned to drive with Revs. I was 15 years old when my Dad came home with a BBC Micro model B (the good one). Revs taught me about power bands and apexes. It really was a training simulator. Loved it so much I wrote a review in a local fanzine. Got the 4 Tracks add on. Acornsoft set the bar in this era. They were cutting edge and quality. Next was Crammond’s Formula 1 and then the question with every new driving game after that for me was ‘yeah but is it a game or a simulator?’ I could never get over how he managed to get a full sim into 32k of memory. Truly mind boggling. Then came Elite and the boggling hit new heights!

Man I love this video. Such an awesome tribute. Love the whole look back at the history of racing games. Crammond had a massive influence on my childhood having spent so much time playing the Grand Prix series. Also, completing a championship season in GP1 on the same pc using hotseat mode, is one of my favourite memories of my time with my dad. We had a C64 prior to getting our first DOS pc but we never had REVS. Such a shame because I only discovered the game a few years back and it blew my mind how awesome it was for such an old game.

@GPLaps - you're quite simply knocking it out of the park. The editing, the information, the music, the speech delivery - absolutely perfect. I'd say you're becoming one of the best sim racing channels around but that would be reductive, you're not just going around virtual tracks here - you're looking into the history of the genre and what makes it so compelling and popular. Revs - the grandfather of all racing sims. Unfortunately, due to only having a cassette deck being the standard in most of Europe as well as relying primarily on pirate cassettes you'd find in the newsagents, I only discovered this game whereabouts 1991/1992, in the final months of my Commodore 64 "career" - but man, did I play the wheels out of Revs during that time. I had the original C64 "2 tracks" version - I mastered Silverstone quite well, but Brands proved to be too much for me. Even then, the game was mindblowing for me as there was simply NOTHING remotely similar around. Then, a bit later, I got a spanking 486 and Formula 1 Grand Prix came out, again courtesy of Geoff Crammond. Can't wait to see what kind of content you'll be able to make about that one.

Even if I am too young to remember this game, I very fondly remember its follow up, World Circuit, as my first racing simulation (along with IndyCar Racing). After the console racing games which were all pure arcade racers, it was a revelation to race on the real tracks, at realistic speeds and with advanced car settings. Crammond truly was a pioneer.

That was a joy to watch. I was born in the early 90s and so raised on the Microprose games, but it's incredible to watch the work Crammond did just a few years before and how far the humble racing game evolved

Excellent production value here, thoroughly enjoyed it. Please let this be a series dedicated to the legend that is Geoff Crammond?? Stunt car racer, F1GP and so on. There is really nothing on him really. Would love like in this style.

I love the Ahoy mood you gave this video. Although I would love to see some unique take on this, I think it's one of the best ways to start

Amazing! While I was a child of the 80's and my dad had a C64 that I played on, Revs was not a title I had experieinced. I didn't really get deeper in to racing games until the early 90's with GP2 and the Papyrus sims of that time. Thanks for the super detailed look back.
