The story mode lets the player practice on one of sixteen tracks with five laps by themselves. Players can also compete against another player or a computer driver in a split-screen race, watching a race between two computer controlled drivers is another option. The Grand Prix mode is the main career mode where players must first run a fast enough qualifying lap to enter a race. The top four fastest qualifying results are chosen to compete and each car receives points depending on what place they finished in.
The gameplay revolves around racing, with players choosing from four F-1 cars that have manual or automatic transmissions. Each car has individual ratings for power, acceleration, and traction, affecting its performance during the race. With a range of modes to choose from, players can enjoy a variety of racing experiences.
