Play F1 Challenge '99-'02 on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play F1 Challenge '99-'02 on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).

🕹 Editor's notes
If you are looking for an old arcade-type racing game, then you should definitely try out the F1 Challenge 99 02. It offers 44 different Formula One cars belonging to 14 different teams, which you can choose from.
The game has the exact information of the current and past three seasons, which is something you cannot find in Formula One games these days.
Plot
Players are required to create an account or profile for themselves before the start of the game so that they can save their performances and stats for future reference. Your racing stats will automatically be saved as you progress through the game.
The F1 Challenge 99 02 game is unlike conventional racing games where they first offer you the game options. In this game, you need to select which season you want to play in and which racer you want to choose.
These choices will set the conditions for how the following menus appear. Everything that appears on the screen while playing the games will be a reflection of the team you choose. When you go through the cars, they rotate around to let the player see their designs and other specifications.
Gameplay
The player gets to set up the car as he wants it to run. You will initially get only four set-up options for the car. The four options are gearing, balance, suspension rigidity, and downforce priority.
You can set up your car by changing all the set-up options according to what you feel is the ideal car for your racing style. Changing up the settings of your car gives you the possibility of winning more matches.
The F1 Challenge 99 02 graphics are impressive, with realistic-looking circuits and cars. The pixelation of the landscapes is also pretty good, so it is an excellent game to test your Formula One racing skills.
