Players choose a driver or team, set up the car, practice or qualify, accelerate, steer, brake, pit or manage tires when available, complete races, and review championship results. Japanese menus connect track performance with longer-term event decisions.

Learn the setup and braking response before qualifying, preserve tires and control through a full race, and save before a championship event. Follow Japanese menus, keep the state separate from sequels and Gaiden, and record the exact race screen for a difference.
