In the PC version, gameplay consisted of setting up the car, qualifying, and then the actual race event.

If the player finished in a high enough position, they would progress to the next circuit.

Damage was calculated not by realistic damage displayed on the car but a "cracked dashboard" bar indicator, with cracks appearing along the dashboard when the player hits something (the same as that used in the 1989 release Stunt Car Racer).

At some point, Oberth's version was cancelled and the work transferred to Beam Software.

Oberth's version was recovered from floppy discs in 2020 after his death by the Video Game History Foundation and its source code was made available in June with permission of Oberth's estate.
