Arctic Run theme from the Atari Jaguar driving game, Checkered Flag.

From Wikipedia:

"Checkered Flag is a Formula One racing video game developed by Rebellion Developments and published by Atari Corporation for the Atari Jaguar on November 28, 1994 and later released in Japan by Messe Sansao on July 1995. It is a remake of Atari's 1991 Atari Lynx title of the same name.

Taking a more simulation-based approach compared to the original game, players compete against other racers across multiple tracks in order to finish on first place and advance to the next course. Originally advertised as a direct sequel to the Atari Lynx original, Checkered Flag went through multiple changes before settling down under its final name and it is inspired by Sega's 1992 arcade game Virtua Racing.

Checkered Flag received very mixed reception since its release. By April 1, 1995, the game has sold more than 20,000 copies though it is unknown how many were sold in total during its lifetime.

Checkered Flag is a formula one racing game, similar to the Atari Lynx original and Virtua Racing, where the objective is to complete a number of laps across ten tracks but now featured in a flat-shaded three-dimensional environment, instead of 2D sprites and the remake leans towards being a racing simulator than an arcade-style racer compared to the original game, where each lap had to be completed within the time limit and the clock was extended if players made a lap before running out of time. There are six color variations for the vehicle that can be chosen at the options screen before starting a race, alongside other settings such as weather conditions, types of tire, automatic or manual transmission, number of laps and more, while players can also press the Option button at the same screen to access a configuration menu where they can change the control settings and other options as well. Records are automatically saved via the cartridge's EEPROM. During gameplay, players can choose between six different camera view by pressing their respective number on the keypad."
