'''''Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race''''' is a Japan-exclusive racing game released for the [[Family Computer Disk System]] on October 30, 1987. It is a racing game starring [[Mario]] in Formula One cars, as a successor to the generic 1984 racing game ''{{wp|F1 Race}}''. A tournament was held for this game from October 30 to December 15, 1987. The top 100 players of each of the four difficulty levels received a trophy with their name and rank along with a poster that had the names of all 400 trophy holders. They, along with thousands of runners-up and raffle winners, received a [[Super Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|''Super Mario Bros.'' Game & Watch]] sealed in a case shaped like Diskun, the mascot of the Disk System who appeared on all Disk System game covers. They also received mock driver's licenses.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkgCL38Xzj4&t=0s Video of the prizes]</ref> A sequel was released months later, known as ''[[Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally]]'' | '''''Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race''''' is a Japan-exclusive racing game released for the [[Family Computer Disk System]] on October 30, 1987.

This game, along with its sequel, was possibly an ancestor to the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, most likely due to the fact that it features Mario and possesses similar 2D racing mechanics, which was later carried on to ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. In the game, Mario is the player's driver, wearing the same color as the vehicle he drives; his likeness is also used for his pit crew, with all but the crew chief also wearing the car's color. | This game, along with its sequel, was possibly an ancestor to the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, most likely due to the fact that it features Mario and possesses similar 2D racing mechanics, which was later carried on to ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''.
