Jacques Villeneuve's return to Formula One has been average at best. In fact ardent fans are
saying
he should pack up and leave again. Harsh.
Jacques, son of the late Gilles Villeneuve, is turning to video games to help him learn the tracks he doesn't know. If
memory serves, this isn't the first time Jacques has done this. When he first arrived in Formula One in 1996, he did
the same thing. Since he nearly won the championship that year (he was narrowly beaten by Damon Hill, his teammate), it
must have worked. It's also a testament to the racing games we have today being extremely realistic.
The article mentions Xbox, but it'd be impossible to learn the Bahrain circuit on there, as there is no version of it
on that system. The PS2 is the only platform with official licensed F1 games. (Though it's possible it could be a fan
made version of the track on the PC.)
