Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
The BMW Sauber F1.06 was driven in the 2006 Formula One World Championship by Nick Heidfeld, Jacques Villeneuve and Robert Kubica. It took two third-place podium finishes during the season and scored 36 points along the way to a fifth-place in the constructors championship.
Released with Live for Speed “S2 ALPHA Version S” in April, 2006. Also released with rFactor, but subsequently removed when licensing expired with BMW.
