Single Player Mode

A single race can take place at any of the tracks you have unlocked in Championship mode. To unlock these tracks, you must have completed the circuit and progressed to the next one in Championship mode.

In this mode, two players race competitively head-to-head. The screen is split in two and can be divided vertically or horizontally.
There are no other cars on the track and no qualifying laps. The number of laps, the weather conditions and boost on/off can be selected. Selecting boost enables the losing player to catch up by improving engine performance.
There are no on-screen prompts in two player mode (eg. PIT IN, GET READY, WRONG WAY).

Championship Meeting Structure
Each meeting has the following structure:
There are two qualifying sessions and two races for each meeting at a venue. A qualifying session consists of up to 3 laps. Your fastest lap time from the session is used to determine your place on the starting grid for the race.
You can skip the qualifying session at any time by selecting the 'End Qualify Session' option from the pause menu.
Championship Length
You can select the length of the Championship to be either SHORT or FULL. On average, a short Championship has around 8 laps per race, while a full Championship has around 24 laps per race.
You cannot change between SHORT and FULL Championship once you have started. If you have a Memory card, a Championship can be saved after every meeting.
Championship Points System
To progress from one meeting to the next, you must accumulate more than a certain number of points at each meeting. The third column in the Tracks Table on page 9 shows how many points are required to progress.
Points are awarded for both races at each meeting and then added to your total score. The points system is shown below:
The Cup System
Cups are awarded throughout the Championship season after every 6 races, based on your performance. If you perform well enough, you will be given secret cheats for the game.
Dangerous Driving
TOCA, the governing body of the British Touring Car Championship, will not tolerate dangerous driving. If you are judged to have driven into a fellow competitor deliberately, you may be penalized with a dangerous driving warning. On your 3rd warning you will be given a 4 point penalty. On your 5th warning there is an additional 6 point penalty and a 6th warning results in disqualification from the race.
Penalty points will only be deducted from points
