The F1 2009 Game Diary Round 9 – Germany

After a British Grand Prix that was, frankly, disappointing, I came into the German GP in a more optimistic mood. The  Nurburgring was the venue and I rather enjoyed this track.

The F1 2009 Game Diary P1

So, after a year of exciting F1 action this season, we have come to a point where F1 is absent from our screens until next March! Argh! In a bid to not go completely mad without my F1, I started a game on F1 2009 (Wii edition). Why 2009? Well, simply put, it’s the only […]
