Summary

Super Formula was one of the earliest arcade games related to Formula 1, in this case the 1988 season. Although being an unlicensed game, the teams, drivers, sponsors and the only four circuits available were inspired by real-life ones. The drivers are recognizable in the graphic representations of their faces.

It can be considered as the predecessor to the F-1 Grand Prix (video game series).

Circuits
gollark: There's JPEG-XL or something, which will apparently allow *lossless* higher-efficiency representation of existing JPEGs. Very exciting.
gollark: Consider all those annoying mostly irrelevant images in articles. Those don't really need to actually be very high quality, and if you can lossily compress them to 20KB or so you can really shave off loading times.
gollark: Although vector graphics would often be nicer, they're not always practical.
gollark: It's perfectly fine for other things where you can get nice small images with little perceptible quality loss.
gollark: Thus, small lossily compressed files.
