The 016 file extension, as a component file of the Formula 1 car race 2001, can trace its roots to as early as 1983 with the release of the Pole Position video game application. Formula One racing has been an integral element of the video game racing genre. This release was eventually followed up in 1991 by the Grand Prix video game simulation of Geoff Crammond. This also symbolized the movement of Formula One gaming from the arcade to the desktop simulation gaming platform.
