Pole Position is another German sports-business simulation. But you're not manager of a Soccer team - you manage a Formula 1 Team! Therefore Ascaron has licensed the Teams and Drivers from the 1995 Championship.
Pole Position is an animated cartoon series produced by DIC Audiovisuel. The name Pole Position was used under license from Namco, who held the rights to the name due to the video game Pole Position. The show sought to capitalize on the popularity of the video game. SPEEDWAY, Ind. (WTTV) - Simon Pagenaud captures pole position for next Sunday’s Indy 500, edging three-time pole sitter Ed Carpenter on in the fast nine shootout at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The Team Penske driver is coming off a victory in the IndyCar Grand Prix just two weeks ago.
At the beginning you can choose an existing Team like Ferrari or Williams or build up your own Team. First of all you have to choose your drivers. The have all individual skills and prices. Michael Schumacher for example is in 1995 a good (not an excellent) but expensive driver. You have to sign up also some other team members - mechanics, race-manager and the pit-crew. Next you have to negotiate with the support companies. Tires, engine, gearing - all these things you need for your race-car. You also need some sponsors - you can also negotiate with these guys.
At the racing weekend you have to adjust your car to the track. The race was presented in a nice TV-oriented 3D graphic. At this time you can only keep your fingers crossed.

Pole Position (a.k.a. Team F1 outside Germany) is a great, atmospheric formula one management simulation, complex with many details and overall much nicer presentation than Edcom's Grand Prix Manager. The game is arguably less realistic than MicroProse's release, but still offers a wide range of options and many European tracks that are not usually covered in US-based F1 games. Highly recommended for all F1 fans!
