The major innovation here, unsurprisingly, is the easy-to-use track designer.

With 16 types of straights, curves and chicanes, you can assemble some really neat circuits.

The two-player, split-screen racing is very similar to Pitstop II but not as enjoyable.

Unlike that game, colliding with kerbs causes minimal damage, only slowing you down. The 3-D isn't as convincing either, though sound's not bad with some meaty engine noises.

Any link with the Scalextric licence is very tenuous, as this is nothing like slot-car racing.
