Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race is a Japan-Only racing game released for the Famicom Disk System released October 30, 1987. It is a racing game starring Mario in Formula One cars. Japan held a Famicom Grand Prix: F-12 Contest and players with the highest scores got a Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch that were sealed in a case shaped like Diskun, the mascot of the Famicom Disk System who appeared in all covers of Famicom Disk games (and also made an appearance as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee. A sequel was released, known as Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally, and it was very different from F-1 Race.

In the game, players can choose to play alone or with other cars. Cars have a certain amount of health and fuel, which decreases whenever the player crashes into a wall, into another car or drives off the road. The player can go to a pit-stop to regenerate the health and fuel, however, doing this takes away race time. Winning the Grand Prix rewards players with coins (Money), which can be used to unlock hidden cars.
