Downforce is a racing video game for the PlayStation 2 that centers on a group of drivers and teams who have left the Formula 1 Championship due to restrictive regulations. The game features high-speed races set in urban environments rather than traditional circuits, allowing for innovative vehicle designs and advanced technologies. Players experience intense competition with enhanced supercars that emphasize speed and downforce.
A group of drivers and teams have split from the Formula 1 Championship, after being held back by rules and regulations for too long. Races have become boring with overtaking and pure racing at an all-time low. The new racing league has been condemned as too dangerous and banned from using circuits around the world. The races instead take place in and around major cities. The cars use all the technology available today, to increase speed and `downforce?. With less stringent rules, teams have worked in different directions creating a wide variety of enhanced super cars.
