Status: Existence Unconfirmed
F-1 World Grand Prix III is an alleged unreleased Formula One racing game that was intended for the Nintendo 64 as part of the F-1 World Grand Prix developed by Paradigm Entertainment and published by Video System.
Status
To date, very little information is known about the game, and its existence has yet to be fully confirmed. The only indication that a third sequel of the F-1 World Grand Prix series was being developed came from audio developer J.D. Smith on his now defunct website Gamesoundsmith. On his website, he claims that he was contracted to work on sound design for the game, and that it was a Nintendo 64 exclusive that was "fully developed" but ultimately was never released.[1] Smith had previously been credited as working for the alleged game's prequel, F-1 World Grand Prix II,[2] which was a simulation of the 1998 Formula One Season and released in 1998.[3] Therefore, it is likely that if F-1 World Grand Prix III been developed, it would probably have been based on either the 1999 or 2000 Formula One Seasons, although this has not been confirmed.
Smith also provided supposed cover art and screenshots of the game. However, these ultimately cannot confirm the game's existence, because the cover art is actually just the cover of F-1 World Grand Prix but with slightly altered colouring and the addition of a III logo. Additionally, the provided screenshots originated from the listing of the original game by Paradigm Entertainment.[4] Aside from Smith's account, no other coverage of F-1 World Grand Prix III is known to exist, and with no builds or screenshots surfacing online, the game's existence currently remains unclear. If it does exist, the reason behind its cancellation also remains unknown.
