About this game
Choose the 328 Twin Turbo or F1 Machine, then drive along a road course with separate acceleration and braking commands. Steering through bends and around other cars determines whether the speed you build can be maintained. Turbo becomes available once the car is moving fast enough. Passing a checkered flag adds time, making progress toward the next checkpoint the immediate goal. You must judge when to accelerate and when a bend requires giving some speed back.
