Geoff Crammond is a pioneering developer who was responsible for some truly groundbreaking Formula 1 racing sims back in the 1990s, following his influential 1989 3D racing title Stunt Car Racer.
And now, for 2026, veteran developer Geoff Crammond has once again teamed up with veteran publisher MicroProse, with whom his games were synonymous back in the day.
MicroProse says that it is: “excited to announce its renewed partnership with legendary game developer Geoff Crammond, creator of some of the most influential racing simulation games of the 1990s and early 2000s.”
MicroProse goes on to add that “together, we are bringing back his groundbreaking racing game engine in a re-release of the original game technology, enhanced with updates, new tools, and Steam Workshop support, through the upcoming Geoff Crammond Racing series: GCR1, GCR2, GCR3, and GCR4, scheduled to release in 2026.”
While these new titles are new Geoff Crammond Formula 1 games in all but name, MicroProse explains that: “these titles are being reintroduced under new names to reflect our independent direction and to ensure full separation from any official motorsport licensing,” adding that “while the names are new, the core simulation engine, physics systems, and pioneering gameplay features developed by Geoff Crammond remain at the heart of each release.”
MicroProse went on to say that: “Geoff Crammond’s original work helped define the foundations of modern racing games, introducing innovations such as advanced real-time physics, highly configurable driving assists (including the ideal racing line, steering help and auto braking), realistic AI driver behaviour, deep telemetry analysis, comprehensive car setup systems, extensive wet weather system, and the list goes on.
The GCR series proudly carries this legacy forward.”
GCR1, GCR2, GCR3, and GCR4 will all be released ar as yet unspecified dates in 2026, but the games can be wishlisted on Steam now.
