Pole Position is a Formula 1 racing game. Enter the Grand Prix, race against other racing cars to achieve the highest score possible in the shortest amount of time.

Before the player can enter the Grand Prix, the player must first qualify by competing in the Qualifying Lap within 73 seconds or less. If the player does not qualify in the Qualifying Lap, the player may continue to race until the Race Timer runs out after 90 seconds. The player will score points per 5 meters driven and additional points for every racing car passed. When the time runs out - Game Over. The player will have to restart the Qualifying Lap.

Qualifying will enable the player to start in one of the eight available positions. The faster the lap time, the better the starting position in addition to bonus score points. The number one starting position is Pole Position .

During the Grand Prix, the player will compete against the Race Timer as well as against other racing cars. If the player fails to beat the Race Timer in any lap, the player drops out of the race - Game Over. Completing the race by reaching the finishing line will grant the player points per second left on the Race Timer, a bonus score for distance covered, and passing bonus points.
