F1 Career Challenge (F1 Challenge '99-'02 for the Microsoft Windows version) is a racing game based on four Formula One seasons: the 1999 season the 2000 season the 2001 season and the 2002 season. It was the last Formula One video game to be published by EA Sports until F1 2021 when EA purchased Codemasters. After losing the official Formula One license from Formula One Administration Ltd. to a multi-year exclusive licensing contract between FOA and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (publishers of the competing Formula One series on PlayStation/PlayStation 2) in late 2002 that became active starting from the 2003 season barring any developer EA included to make a game centered around these later seasons the decision was made to produce one final game using the four seasons that EA Sports had previously licensed.
