if you're a fanatical f1 fan (or any other racing series fan) and you enjoy the details of racing such as f1's "live timing" then you'll find this web browser based game to be very enjoyable and satisfying, especially during the very long breaks between races.
basically batracer is only a little similar but way better than other ordinary fantasy manager games, as you take part as the driver in setting up the car for optimum settings during the practice and warmup periods before the qualifying sessions and the race. for the qualifying and the race itself you play around with the settings for how you want to run your race including speed, aggresiveness, tyre usage and pit stop strategies etc and then your results are generated with detailed lap by lap informatoin and analysis after the session has advanced. this entails you to further refine your setups and strategies for following races to be as competitive as possible.
apart from f1 2008, there are also other car sets available such as f1 2007, f1 2006, f1 2002, f1 1986, champcars, lemans edurance series, a1gp, btcc, v8 supercars and several other fictional series so you are no doubt going to be able to find a series that you'll enjoy playing.
