This is a conversion of the Sega arcade machine racing title and Chris Butler did a pretty good job, backed up by some funky music from David Lowe (Uncle Art).

There are 5 separate competitions within which to race. Each competition is made up of 5 different race courses in which the objective, unsurprisingly, is to win (or at least place within the top 3).

Each track is progressively more difficult than the last, although the challenge comes from how quickly the bends in the road appear and how well your car handles in the corners, turning this into more of game of remembering where the corners are rather than any actual driving skill. Despite this niggle, it's still a pretty decent game.

This video shows a playthrough of each of the 5 different competitions, showing all possible races.

Enjoy!
