In the races, the player wins money which can be spent on temporary handling and power upgrades, plus armour plating and front/rear shooting missiles that can knock out other racers.

The player must finish in the top three of each race to advance; initially there are four computer opponents, but more are added as the game progresses.

The NES version was released exclusively in America in 1991 by Electro Brain.

This is in slight contrast to the box art, where the blue "starter" car (Taraco) instead more closely resembles a contemporary European Ford Fiesta or Escort Cosworth convertible.

The Retron is also portrayed differently on the box art, where it is a Lamborghini Countach instead of a Cizeta.
