Wraparound Background: The setting is a F1 track, but aside from turns, it's rather monotonous. It's similar to making the background go in a loop for a side-scrolling 2D game.

Awesome, but Impractical: The McLaren with its Honda turbo engine is the most powerful car in the game, but is also the most difficult car to control.

Lady Not-Appearing-in-This-Game: The game's cover features the face of an attractive blonde woman, so prominently that it even risks veering into What Were They Selling Again?, as the only indication that there's any car racing involved is that a F1 car is reflected on her sunglasses. As anyone who knows about the state of graphics in late '80s games would already guess, no such dame appears in the game.

Sprite/Polygon Mix: The track is made of vector graphics without textures, everything else from the interior of the player's car to all other cars on the road (non-scaling sprites at various fixed scales drawn from ahead and behind) to the non-race screens are pixel graphics.
