Critical Reception

Electronic Gaming Monthly's Mike Weigand gave the review score of 7 out of 10 writing;

"...this is one of the more comprehensive racing games available for the SNES. There are tons of options, and you select almost every component for your racing machine -- gears, steering, etc. -- just like buying a real car! The racing itself is very fluid and the two-player is a must".
