Up to four players race each other over a variety of different surfaces on a selection of narrow, twisting roads, in this scrolling top-down racing game from Sega.

Each player's vehicle has a fuel (gas) meter that constantly depletes as the race progresses. Extra fuel (and bonus pick-ups) are placed at regular intervals on each track and can be collected by driving over them. If a car runs out of fuel it is automatically disqualified from the race.

During races the track scrolls to follow the current race leader. If the last-placed driver falls too far behind the leader and allows the scrolling area to catch up with them, their car is automatically transported further up the track, resulting in a fuel penalty.

There are always four cars competing in each race (with computer-controlled cars replacing any positions not filled by human players). Any driver finishing in the Top three is awarded bonus points, with the amount determined on whether they have finished 1st, 2nd or 3rd. These points can be used to buy a variety of car upgrades in the garage shop that appears at the end of every race. The upgrades available are; engine, tyre, wing and bumper. These affect speed, handling and durability. Particular attention should be paid to tyre choice, as different tyres are suited to specific race surfaces.
