The Eau Rouge is one of the most famous corners in motorsport, with its insane elevation taken at high speed while cornering. It is also featured in a ton of official Formula 1 games, as the Belgian Grand Prix has been part of the F1 calendar in most of the past 30 years.
For this F1 game evolution video series I looked at more than 40 different games that were released on PlayStation systems and 36 of them made it into this particular video.
Many of you will know the annual F1 games by Codemasters that have been released on PC, PlayStation and Xbox since 2010 but there were also many official F1 games before that.
The first F1 game by Codemasters actually came out in 2009 already but it was exclusive to Wii and PSP. And in 2000-2003 there were multiple official games per year, with EA's F1 series and Sony's Formula One series competing against each other.
Note that the PS1, PS2 and PSP games are played via emulator, which improves their resolution but can lead to some texture bugs that wouldn't happen on actual hardware, especially with the PS2 games, so keep that in mind when judging the look of the games in the video.

Any other corners that you would also like to see in all the different games? Ideally corners near the beginning of a track, so I can quickly do multiple attempts by restarting.
I went to the Belgian GP in 2019 and what struck me is that you don't realise how steep this section really is from games and TV.
Interesting. I once did a lap as a passenger on Nordschleife and that was also way more intense than any games or even real life videos make it seem. It's just a whole different thing to experience it in proper first person and with all of the forces on your body.
Yeah, same for me when I saw the Senna S in real life, in Interlagos
Same can be said about how you don't realize just how fast the cars are going at the Indy 500 from TV. I say this as someone that's been there in person more times than I can count. I stood about 10 feet away from the cars going 235mph and it's pretty crazy. On TV it looks like they're going way slower than what you see and FEEL in person
Same for me. I was in awe when i stood in front of it the first time and saw that steep climb.
It'd wild how deceiving elevation changes are. I recently went to Cota in Austin and that hill into turn 1 is so steep. It's tough to walk it.
Some renditions make me wonder if the developers ever seen a picture of Eau rouge. F1 2000 was especially bad.
Come on, it was 2001. I was just happy to play with my friends
I grew up on the F1 games from Studio Liverpool. They are all special to me. But for some reason Formula One 2001, 03 and Championship Edition always bring back the most nostalgia for me. My face lights up with those titles.
Those are the only F1 games i still own for PS2 and PS3
I love how they squeezed the PS1 hardware in some of the later releases to minimise the pop in. Now we just throw power at it.
2:52 This reminds me more of the Ascari at Monza than Eau Rouge
Interesting f1 99 did not have the updated Eau Rouge without the wall on the inside. Guess not having up to date tracks is a long standing tradition😅
The width of the car went crazy between 2016 and 2017
Same with 21-24
The new ones are better, of course, but somehow F1 2010 still keeps amazing 🤩
Love how Codemasters (later EA) didn't bother updating the most popular circuit on the calendar for over 10 years despite being the least accurate circuit mesh in F1 2010.
Also there is a version of F1 Racing Championship which most the circuits are probably the most accurate iterations of each circuit until laser scanning became a thing.
Amazing to see the transformation of detail since I bought the first one back in 96 with the legend Murray walker do commentary
Grand Prix Challenge is a fantastic game. I’d never heard of it before I started playing it last year. It’s one of my favourite F1 games now.
I also hadn't heard of it before I looked into F1 games for this video series. But I do know the developer that made it, Melbourne House. They also made the PS2 version of Le Mans 24 Hours, which was one of my favorite PS2 racing games as a kid.
really enjoying these F1 game evolution videos!
Nice job, really dedicated to bring a complete overview.
F1 racing championship for PS2 looks way ahead of its time. Took until 2010 for anything remotely similar to come out
Please... Press that damn DRS button. 🤣🤣
Lmao the engine sounds from the late 90s games are better than the 2024 game
Anything sounds better than the hybrid V6 vacuum cleaners
Even if the v6 hybrids don't sound good, I gotta say in the replays for example 24 really nailed the sound to a point where it sounds like you're watching F1 on TV
Like at least it sounds like the actual car now
Some of them don't even look like eau Rouge
None of them, the curve is called "Raidillon" not eau Rouge.
PS1 1996 zu 1999, wow auf einmal waren die Pop ups weg 😊. Muss eine sehr gute Engine 1999 gewesen sein 😮. Habe das Game 1996 geliebt, dann F1 2010, bin seitdem immer noch dabei. F1 2019 und 2020 das beste bis jetzt wie ich finde 😊
I love that F1 game from 1995 for PS1. Everybody used to play as Jean Alesi.
why is bro not touching the last kerb 😭
New sub
WOW, ONE THE BEST EVER F1 EVOLUTION COMPERATION VIDEO. Thanks from Serbia 💪👋🇷🇸🏎
Today I learned the PC version of Formula 1 (1996) has censored Foster's billboards. On the PS1 they're uncensored (and there's also an uncensored Marlboro one in Monaco).
Played majority of these. But Grand Prix 4 Was the game so ahead of its time on PC
2011 was a graphic revolution for almost every game that came out that year.
Damn great memories.
It always shocks me how superior F1 99 looks compared to other PSX F1 games. It's almost like a generation jump. Studio 33 did a stellar work with HIRES.
Crazy how far we've come in terms of graphics. My first f1 game was F1 2001 on the ps2. It included the season review of 2000
Even though the newer F1 games are more advanced with better graphics, realism and better animations. I'd still rather go back to the older F1 games to hear the sound of the V10 and V12 engines.
F1 2001 on PS1. Very very impressive. Shows mow much the devs had learned to get more out of the hardware.
Who noticed the engines sound evolution ? I miss the old ones.
A major change in the experience is the sound difference when the engines changed.
So in essence we are buying same game for last 10 - 12 years. with updated drivers and car liverys.
Pity you only show ps games. If you look at N64 world grand prix back in 1998 it will show you the true nature of the depth and steepness of these combo of corners..
We have come a long way
Would love to see how Laguna Seca's corkscrew has changed across the years in racing games.
That is one video that I have also been thinking about in the past. I might look into it now, seeing how this video here is doing pretty well. I already made some evolution videos for Laguna Seca as a whole though, in case that is interesting for you as well.

seems like gp challenge was first one to getting it pretty close to irl
wow the LOD did a world of good for the F1 99 look and feel!
it seemed the first three games had worse and worse popping, and the 99 comes in with better sound, better models and an LOD that is practically invisible on CRTs, good hecking job to the team with that one, astonishing!
in my childhood in the early 2000s, the ps2 was still way expensive for the average brazillian, so the PS1 and the Sega Mega Drive, Saturn, and Dreamcast reigned as "three kings" i'd say, Nintendo lost the console war here.
So my best friend had the PS1 and the first game from 1996, the 99 version would have blown our minds back then.
F1 challenge '99-02 on my dad's PC a year later managed to blow our minds tho.
Sense of speed on Formula One 2001 (PS1) was great.
Formula One 2001 on PS2 was an amazing game
The cars sounded so amazing in 90s
Grand prix challenge is much better than others in same era
Na minha opinião só faltou o melhor que eu acho que é o F1 2006, mas entendo que não foi mostrado aí no vídeo, mesmo porque não tem essa pista de Spa no game 2006 ps2. Parabéns pelo video!
I know it wasn't official, but was a shame to not include Grand Prix 4 on PC.
My most favourite F1 game ever made. Even with mods today it still holds up!
Why do you say it wasn't official? I think it was. At least it says so on the cover.
F1 Racing 2000 has a pretty accurate sound of the V10 engine
An enjoyable video to watch. I was looking for F1 Championship Edition (PS3) that replicates the 2006 season.
The 2006 season didn't have a race at Spa, so the track is not included in that game. You can see that game in my Pit Stop and Interlagos videos though.

ua-cam.com/video/ch5OygSqkjw/v-deo.html
Why were you looking for that game in particular though? Is it your favorite F1 game?
F1 2001 (PS1) one love!
Real Racing phone game is beyond this
How many F1 Games do you hace?
year 2000: Yes!
The switch between ps1 and ps2 was HUGE! And 2010 games are nearly perfect...
How tf did the game designers in like 2001 and 02 for f12001/2 turn each rouge and radillon into rallying😂 shits goofy
F1 05 and 06 was Legend on PS2.
Formula one 05 for car sound
F1 2010 for graphics
F1 2024 for scenery
V8 sound amazing. So missed
Seems like elevation is different year after year
Are these all upscaled? I don't remember PS1/PS2 graphics looking that good.
Yes, the PS1, PS2 and PSP games are played on emulator.
U missed 2006 Championship Edition for PS3, but still nice vid.
You are wrong. I didn't miss it. This video is about a specific track, so I am only showing games that have this track.
Spa never hosting f1 in 2006 until next year
I always place last in the speed trap for in practice but my average cornering is quicker than the CPU on 70% difficulty. However they’re always beating me in straights. I just don’t understand why I’m slower in straights.
The car improves at a more drastic rate compared to the environment, considering that you should be using the in car view anyway, the focus on visuals should be flipped.
Why didn't you include the best F1 game in history. Grand Prix 3 and Grand Prix 4.
I don't have those.
spark looks super weird on F1 2021
F1 22 for pc went backwards a couple of years by the looks of it
Dude you should press the drs button on kemmel
2012 and 2015 best graphic for me
why they take out the motor heat effect in f1 2018???
I always felt the gap in visuals between F1 2010 on PC and 2024 is marginal. For 14 years it isn't some mind bending improvement. Diminishing returns. Especially when you look at the same time period F1 of 1996 and then F1 2010!
The evolution from the first to the last of the ps1 ones is impressive taking into account it is the same hardware.
“ Look how they massacred my boy”😢
I still have the real formula one 97 and the real ps1 😅
The irony of this entire video is that eau rouge in an F1 car is not really an exciting turn since you can take it flat out. It’s much more fun in GT3 trying to find the right speed and grip
2010 IS WHERE IT ALL WENT FOR BETTER!
2011 is whole new level (
10:07 - 10:30 Gran Turismo 4 Soundtrack 😁
Die Qualität von F1 2000 war im Vergleich zu F1 1999 deutlich schlechter und stellte einen Rückschritt dar. Im Gegensatz dazu war F1 2010 ein bedeutender Fortschritt im Vergleich zum Vorgänger F1 2009, was meines Wissens sehr gut aufgenommen wurde.
Mir ist jedoch aufgefallen, dass F1 2023 und F1 2024 auf dem PC grafisch nicht gut aussehen. Es ist möglich, dass dies auf schlechte Grafikeinstellungen oder einen veralteten PC zurückzuführen ist. Auf der PS4 Pro und der X Series sehen die Spiele jedoch deutlich besser aus.
That's Raidillon actually
Yep. It's more commonly referred to as Eau Rouge though.
Finally a man of culture!
How do you Guys Play f1 24 already?
The deluxe edition was released on Tuesday and some UA-camrs were also given codes by EA to try the game early. With the standard edition you should be able to play on Friday.
@@Paragleiber okay thank you💯
chill its only a patch ;)
You could replace F1 24 with F1 23 and no one would notice
As Jacques Villeneuve said : "Pied au plancher !".
ackshually! dAtS rAiDiLlOn!
You can just repost the video with a title "Evolution of Ferrari in F1 Racing Games" and have two identical videos for banter
You forgot championship edition on the ps3, which personally is my favourite.
You are wrong. I didn't forget it.
The biggest problem here is the ps. No GP4, no F1C 99-02. Two best game os taht time. And its pain to see driving with controller-
The sound was better in 98 though
honestly going from other game genre in leaps f1 is one of the smallest I think
It’s actually Raidilllon, Eau Rogue is the small turn to the left at the bottom of the hill and Raidillon is the turn to the right as it’s going up the hill.
Yep. Most people don't know that though and colloquially people often refer to the whole section as Eau Rouge.
I always thought that the Raidillon was the long straight that came after the corners 😂
Thank you Tommy
@@Ryosucc25That's the Camel straight. Literally having the word STRAIGHT in it's name. 👀
Missing the greatest f1 game of all time grand prix 4
Thank God for crammonds gp series. So I didn't have to see the terrible tracks of the early F1 series first hand.
Where was was 2006 and championship edition?
2006 was on PS2 and Championship Edition on PS3.
97 the best :)
😳😳
after 2010 there is no progress at all. The picture is more soapy, but the trees are the same. turn on 2010 after 2024 f1 and look again where the graphics are better)
The engine sound went from glorious before 2014 to shit , goodbye V10 up to 20000 rpm.
For some reason I didn’t see the legendary F1 2006 on ps3
That's because it doesn't have Spa and this video is about Spa. You can see that game in some of my other videos though.
ua-cam.com/video/PV0vLr2MnpU/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/ch5OygSqkjw/v-deo.html
Why there is not f1 championships edition 2006 ps3?
Because the track Spa is not included in that game. It only has tracks from the 2006 season.
The ones from 2000-2002 are so bad, they look nothing like Eau Rouge.
What happened to PlayStation 3,4,& 5
F1 2016-23?
What do you mean? What about them?
Is he playing on keyboard or what’s going on?
None of them are played on keyboard. And what do you mean with what's going on?
Until 4:35 it was worst every time, 😂
F1 06 is missing and also F1 Championship Edition for ps3..
Indeed. You can check the timeline in the description for the full list of games that are shown.
9:57 is not realistic, Sainz should have s🅱️inned at there as Ferrari has no proper downforce to flat out that Eau Rouge curve.
1997-2024 no difference, at the end of the video it was in 144p lol
1:15 lol, they got the proportions very very wrong. Also the game feels veery slow
y el F1 2006 donde está mi loco :c
Wasn’t on the 06 calendar
