Formula One 2000 is a racing video game developed by Studio 33 for the PlayStation version and Tarantula Studios for the Game Boy Color version and published by Midway Games in North America and SCEE in Europe for PlayStation and Game Boy Color. It is a sequel to the 1999 video game Formula One 99 and was based on the 2000 Formula One World Championship.

Gameplay

Formula One 2000 features 17 Grand Prix circuits, and a new "arcade" mode. This arcade mode is more similar in style to WipEout - tracks are grouped into "location zones" with futuristic-sounding names and cars are grouped into series. The players begin on the easier courses with the worst cars, before unlocking the more difficult courses and the better cars. Bonus images can be unlocked as an incentive to win races. It also features the new Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Strangely, despite Monza's layout being modified for 2000, its previous layout is still used.

Alcohol and tobacco-related sponsors

All alcohol and tobacco sponsors are censored:

• Ferrari's Marlboro is completely censored.
