F1 2010 meets OutRun: Video mashup

We give Codemasters' superb racer a 1986 makeover

Words: Justin Towell on November 22, 2010

I love F1 2010. But I also love OutRun. Sadly, it's impossible to play them both at the same time - thumbs get tangled, engine noises clash... it just isn't going to work. But what if the two were combined? What if you could play a single lap of Sao Paulo, overtaking the entire field with Magical Sound Shower blaring from the speakers? Driving a Ferrari, of course. Well, we've made that a reality. Just for one fleeting moment of racing perfection.

@QWERTYCommander It's not the best, but it definitely doesn't suck as much as the old video player.

Am I seriously the only one that is experiencing problems with the video player? Like, not being able to move the timeline? Or it randomly switching to low quality midway through the video? Am I seriously the only one?

I don't know which is better there...the utter awesomeness of the mashup itself, or the sheer bravery in driving like that to take the lead during a single lap of Brazil. Bravo!

Excellent video! Combines 2 great loves in video gaming - F1 & classic driving games. Could this be done in cockpit view??? :)

The new video player is still crap. It just switched to low quality halfway through the video. Then I refreshed the page, and the video refused to work.

I love F1 2010 too, It's just a shame that it hates me. Last lap punctures, being overtaken by the whole field during pitstops, being driven into by AI cars constantly, unavoidable accidents, my car just randomly exploding, barriers that suddenly snag my car and smash it to pieces....It hates me.

You got 100 extra interwebs for playing at Interlagos.
