How to Play
The Speed of Virtua Racing
You cut into the pack of jostling, screaming cars and thread your way through. The terrain whips by as you accelerate high down the first straightaway, competing with the other drivers for the best position heading into Turn 1. A car cuts you off, and as you fight to get past, you enter the turn too fast. Your car swings wide. The ground tilts wildly as you skid up the bank, dangerously close to the edge of the track. You save yourself from a spin, but you're drifting toward the wall, and another car is coming up fast behind you. Can you avoid both in time to keep your car from flipping end-over-end, completely out of control?
Virtua Racing Deluxe gives you a choice of three high-performance cars, each with its own special characteristics. Feel the speed as you race—against fifteen other drivers, against the clock, against your own best time, or against a friend—on your choice of five different courses! At the end of the race, check out the special coverage of your race from different camera views in the Instant Replay feature.
Strap into the driver's seat, and get ready to race!

Options
Press the D-Button up or down to select the desired feature, and left or right to make choices within that feature.
•
Level: This allows you to select the level of difficulty for Virtua Racing mode. The more difficult the level, the fewer seconds you receive to complete the race, and the more competitive the other drivers become.
•
B.G.M., S.E., Voice: Use these features to play selections of background music (B.G.M.), sound effects (S.E.) or voices used in the game. Press the D-Button left or right to select the desired track, and press Button A or C to play the music or sound. Press Button B to stop the track.

•
Stock: A racing car which is based on a commercially produced passenger sedan but which has been modified for greater strength and performance. Heavier and less aerodynamically structured than the Formula car, the Stock car has less road adhesion and requires a greater degree of control.
•
Prototype: A special class of race car where the designers have pulled out all the stops. This car is the most powerful of the three and takes a great deal of control to keep on the course.
Press the D-Button down to highlight the TRANSMISSION window, and press left or right to select an automatic or 7-speed manual transmission. A manual transmission feeds your car power more evenly than an automatic and gives you a faster "pickup" and

Tips & Maps
HIGH LAND
Converted from city streets and highways, this course takes on a whole new dimension when racing. 90-degree turns, grassy medians, blind turnoffs and a tendency for the track to narrow suddenly make this course a real challenge.
SAND PARK
Uneven surfaces and soft road shoulders rob your car of speed if you aren't careful. The high overhead view is obstructed in several places, especially the first tunnel, which conceals a sharp right turn.
PIT WORK
If you're involved in a serious accident, you might mangle a fender or spoiler. Crash damage may slow your car down, so you should decide whether or not you need to visit the pit for repairs. In Time Attack mode, the clock continues to run while you're in the pit. In Virtua Racing mode, the countdown timer freezes while you're in the pit, and you receive ten seconds of repair time.
Control, rather than flat-out speed, gives you the fastest lap times.

Keep your car moving in a uniform direction, with smooth, even lane changes.
Keep your car moving in a uniform direction, with smooth, even lane changes. Watch the other cars at first, and learn the best places to enter and exit each corner.

Keep a light touch on the D-Button.
Keep a light touch on the D-Button. Unnecessary swerving costs valuable time, and if you're using a manual transmission, you increase your chances of shifting into the wrong gear by accidentally pressing the D-Button up or down.
