Publisher's Description:

In Speed Circuit you've got to know the course as well as your own car. When to speed up for the straightaways, when to slow down for the curves, how to get ahead of your opponents -- these are all up to you, and mistakes can be costly. A poorly planned entry into a curve could easily produce a dangerous spinout, and truly reckless driving could cause collisions or even a crash that puts you out of the race for good.

Since each player designs his own racer, every car will be different from the others, and this is important, too -- your tactics will depend on your opponents' capabilities. Some cars are faster, some are just a little easier to handle. Ans since in Speed Circuit there are no dice or spinners to determine movement, victory will be decided on skill alone.

Play it too safe and you lose. Take too many chances, and you may burn out your engine (or your brakes), or smack your car right into a wall. If you've got what it takes, then your dream might come true. Played on individual maps of three world-famous courses -- Monza, Monaco, and Watkins Glen.
