{{nihongo|'''''SD F-1 Grand Prix'''''|ＳＤ Ｆ－１グランプリ||"[[Super deformed|Super Deformed]] F-1 Grand Prix"}}<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.super-famicom.jp/data/ae/ae_0011.html | title = Japanese title | publisher = super-famicom.jp | access-date = 2011-07-14}}</ref> is a Japan-exclusive [[video game]] based on the ''[[F1 Grand Prix (video game series)|F1 Grand Prix]]'' series. This video game spin-off was developed for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]] by [[:ja:ビデオシステム|Video System]].

==Gameplay==
[[Image:SDF-1GrandPrixVictoryScreen.png|thumb|left|The sample player has consistently finished all 16 of races in ''Grand Prix'' mode and is rewarded with a gold trophy.]]
The player gets to control cute and cuddly cartoon animals (with the dog resembling [[Mika Häkkinen]], the bird representing [[Damon Hill]], and the wolf portraying [[Michael Schumacher]], etc) in cutesy race tracks inspired by real life [[Formula One]] race tracks in a parallel universe. 

An exception to this rule would be the U.S. oval track (that looks like [[Daytona International Speedway]] ''sans'' the spectator booths and a lane for pit stops). There is a Crash Race mode which, in addition to the Grand Prix mode's tracks, features tracks similar to those on ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', a Grand Prix mode where players get to race all the tracks one-at-a-time for points in order to get a gold, silver, or bronze trophy, and a Time Trial mode where the player gets to race against the clock. No option to restart a race exist in the GP Racing mode; neither does a [[game over]] screen. This is similar to modern racing games where games continue regardless of what position that the player finishes in.

A duo of Japanese race reporters (assuming them to be the [[caricature]]s of the then-current Fuji Television announcers) perform the play-by-play of the race in both written and spoken Japanese to the tune of [[J-pop]] instrumental music.

The available drivers are based on the {{f1|1994}} season, while the Grand Prix tracks are based on the {{f1|1995}} season (with exception of [[Hungaroring]]). In addition to selected 1994 drivers, [[Alain Prost]], [[Nigel Mansell]] (in his 1994 comeback guise), and [[Satoru Nakajima]] are represented as boss characters in the Crash Race mode, with [[Ayrton Senna]] as the Crash Race mode's final boss.

==Prototype==
The prototype version of ''SD F-1 Grand Prix'' is different from the final version in terms of its internal components. There is a CIC lockout chip that can be altered so that Super Famicoms in [[PAL]] countries can operate the game.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.snescentral.com/article.php?id=0100 | title = Prototype information for ''SD F-1 Grand Prix'' | publisher = SNES Central | access-date = 2012-11-15}}</ref>
