Grand Prix
Miss the oil, catch the tow
Miss the oil, catch the tow, watch the fuel.
Overtaking on a scrolling circuit with a fuel gauge and a pit window.
About Grand Prix
A scrolling circuit with real decisions: sit in a tow to gain speed, but stay behind too long and the pit window closes badly. Oil is placed exactly where the overtake feels natural.
How to play Grand Prix
Run the grand prix circuit, manage the fuel and pick off the rivals.
Controls
- · Hold ◀ / ▶ to steer.
- · Tuck in behind a rival for a slipstream tow.
Rules & scoring
- · Laps and overtakes score; fuel cans keep you running.
- · Run dry or spin on an oil slick and the race is over.
Tips
- · Take the tow before the overtake — it is worth more than an early lunge.
Retro inspiration
Scrolling-drum racers gave pocket games the illusion of a track long before any screen did.
