For years I've been dreaming of an F1 game where I could drive any season of history. The circuit are even more important to me than the cars, I'd love to drive the old Kyalami, Caesars Palace, AVUS, Österreichring, Monza with the oval, etc. It seems baffling that with modern technology they can make games with huge open worlds, realistically simulating ancient Egypt for example, but they can only create one F1 season at a time.

Glenn mentioned still playing Grand Prix 2 using dosbox. You should check out x86GP2.L which mods GP2 to run natively in Windows, adding widescreen support and higher resolution graphics.
