In 1984 Geoff Crammond, later to develop the Grandprix series (Known collectively as GPX to its fanbase) produced what is considered the first attempt at a racing simulator, REVS, for the BBC Microcomputer. The game offered an unofficial, (and hence with no official team or driver names associated with the series} recreation of British Formula 3. The hardware capabilities limited the depth of the simulation and restricted it, (Initially) to one track but it was far above any other games at the time in terms of detail.

Driver Marc Granet is a seasoned veteran who broke into the sport through an impressive campaign of the outboard catamaran, the hottest and most competitive class in offshore racing today. A natural evolution to the big turbine-powered “Miss Geico 2 Platinum” catamaran came in 2006 when Granet joined the AMF team. “This is the most technologically-advanced boat that I’ve ever seen,” he said. “The inside of the cockpit looks like a space shuttle.”
