THE STORY

'Welcome sports fans to the last day of the 17th Annual Interplanetary Terra-Races 
sponsored as always by the IPF.'

'If you are viewing the days events from the comfort of your own IPF styro-home let me 
tell you that here on Simu - world Four, sit six miles above the Earth the stadiums are 
packed with frenzied race fans and you could cut the atmosphere with a knife.'

'The question in everyones mind is will one of the racers actually complete all six 
gruelling courses, a feat never before achieved in sixteen years of racing.'

'As the first two contestants pull up to the start line the holo-count begins suspended 
in the air before them, three, two, one..... GO !!!!!!'


THE GAME

You are one of the few drivers who have reached the final day of competition. Now you 
must now face the six toughest challenges the simu-worlds have to offer in your 
regulation 6000 SUX turbo sports car.

It’s your choice whether you go up against the clock or race head to head with a friend 
(or an enemy ). Either way the time limits are extremely tight and the courses 
treacherous to the max. Strap yourself in tight.........
