Races are viewed from behind the car in a fast, scrolling perspective. The objective is to complete each course competitively while managing corners, traffic, roadside hazards, and the car’s available performance.

Players can select from Lotus cars with different handling and speed characteristics, then tackle routes through varied environments. The game includes predefined races and a course-generation system for creating further challenges. Progress comes from finishing races successfully and improving performance across the selected sequence.

Brake before tight bends rather than entering them at maximum speed. Learn each route’s hazard placement, use the road width to set up overtakes, and choose a car whose handling matches the course. On unfamiliar generated tracks, prioritize control over top speed.
