Review:

Racing games were difficult to produce for the Spectrum but this conversion is one of the best, having good solid graphics and reasonable gameplay. Due to the limitations it is also easy to play, as even at the fastest speeds the cars all look like they're stuck in a traffic jam on the M25.
