Gameplay

Players must choose one of the Porsche Boxsters at the start of each race and race around tracks trying to win. Each car has a different driver and each driver has a different personality. The drivers can comment on how other drivers drive and their relationship with the other drivers can affect this as well. Usually they say how bad the other drivers are and how they are better.

There are three types of races for each track:

Classic

This is where the player races in an arcade-type fashion (like most racing games). No changes to the environment.

Long

This is a long race where "barriers, shortcuts and numerous other features" are changed throughout the race and the player must notice these small changes to ensure their chances of winning races. The changes are made once every lap.

Interactive

This type of race randomises tracks, physically changing the track all the time. You could be driving, then all of a sudden the track changes and you are forced to go the long way around.

The game also features time trial and practice modes.
