The story follows the player's journey through the ranks of Formula One, where they must first qualify for races by setting fast enough lap times. The top four fastest drivers are selected to compete, and points are awarded based on their finishing position in each race. As the series progresses, players aim to accumulate as many points as possible to become the ultimate champion.
Players can choose from four F-1 cars, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Three manual transmission cars require precise gear shifting during racing, while one automatic car offers a different challenge altogether. With individual ratings for power, acceleration, and traction, players must carefully select their car to suit their driving style.
