'''''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]]'', and it was very different from ''F1 Race'' and also subject of a tournament.

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.

In Time Trial mode, the player can record and beat times on six unique circuits, as well as use them to practice the game's mechanics. A car is provided for these, and the player can choose whether or not it is turbo-capable, as well as the course and number of laps. The specific car can be chosen by pressing {{button|NES|pad}} down, {{button|NES|A}}, and {{button|NES|B}} all at once on a controller in port 2 to bring up a list and then using {{button|NES|pad}} and {{button|NES|select}} to choose, though the car's turbo settings must match the menu's. Multiple players can play on this mode via taking turns.

Multiple players can play on this mode via taking turns.
If the player crashes into a wall, rather than coming to a full stop, they bounce off it at an angle depending on their current position; as such, crashing into it head-on will result in an instant 180° turn. When going under a bridge, the player is unable to turn, so if they are angled to the side when they enter the tunnel, they will likely end up hitting the wall. Hitting other racers causes the player to spin out, though the non-player racers will be unaffected unless they are an unnamed competitor that has been hit twice, retiring them and leaving an oil slick. Additionally, non-player characters can touch each other and even occupy the same space without any effect. Oil slicks cause the player to spin out even more times than hitting another racer, though non-player characters can also drive through them without any effect.
