Summary[edit]

This animated gif was created by myself from a recording of the videogame running on an emulator. Although it's from 1985, I think the game itself is not free.

Non-free media information and use rationale true for Formula_One_(1985_video_game)
Description	In game race animation from the videogame Formula One (1985) on the ZX Spectrum, showing the race screen, in which lap after lap the cars pass by at variable speeds and distances between each others.
Source	The videogame was ran through an emulator, that exported a recording in avi format, which was edited and converted to gif format by myself through freeware tools.
Article	Formula_One_(1985_video_game)
Portion used	The animation comprises 43 frames (4.3 seconds) from an infinite number that can be generated by the video game, and hence insignificant.
Low resolution?	Yes, this animation is composed by a number of frames at a resolution of 256x192 pixels each (0.05 Megapixels) and 4bit color, which although is the ZX Spectrum's original resolution, it is considered a very low resolution by nowadays standards.
Purpose of use	To illustrate one of the most important parts of the video game, which is the race itself. The races unfold lap by lap from a side view perspective on the starting lane, and a number of visual details can be seen like the speed that the cars pass by in each lap and the time difference between them.
Replaceable?	Unless the game is released for free someday, I guess we have no way to have a free equivalent ingame view like this.
