How to play F1 Challenge on Mac
Game summary
F1 Challenge was the only Formula One title released on the SEGA Saturn, giving the player the opportunity to control five authentic Formula One cars and their drivers (Michael Schumacher, Damon Hill, Jean Alesi, Ukyo Katayama and Mika Häkkinen), with the ability to tweak their car before races, ranging from tire pressure, tire type, wing angle, etc.
There are six tracks to choose from: Hockenheim, Monte Carlo, Suzuka and three different configurations for a fictional track, Neo City, each with their own hairpin turns and fast straightaways. The player can choose from two behind the car views (no cockpit view is available) along with a pop-up screen that acts as a rear view mirror. Features a FOCA (Formula One Constructors Association) license which allows the use of thirteen teams with twenty-six drivers from the 1995 season from which the above mentioned five are the only ones playable.
First released: Sep 1996
Play F1 Challenge on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play F1 Challenge 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).
F1 Challenge installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install F1 Challenge like you would on any PC.
