Competition Mode

Compete in various locations around the world. Whether you
become the world champion depends on your overall rating from
all the races. Expert Level has 16 races. Professional Level has 8
races and Beginner has 4 races. Your position in the starting line¬
up depends on how well you perform in the 2-minute trials. You
do not complete the game until you have finished all the races.
Retiring from a race cancels out the competition Mode.

This mode is only playable between two people - the computer
cannot play here. Choose your circuit. The first player to rack
up two victories wins the match.

for learning the tricks and breaking points of any circuit! Don't
forget to make a needed pit-stop. Just because you do not
turn your car doesn't mean it can go without repairs!
