Continental Circus

The in-game vehicle is the 1987 Camel-sponsored Honda / Lotus 99T Formula One car as driven by Ayrton Senna and Satoru Nakajima . Due to licensing reasons, sponsor names such as " Camel " or " DeLonghi " are intentionally misspelled to prevent copyright infringement under Japanese law. The player must successfully qualify in eight different races to win. At the beginning, the player must take 80th place or better to advance.

As the player advances, so does the worst possible position to qualify. If the player fails to meet to qualify or if the timer runs out, the game is over. The player does, however, have the option to continue, but if the player fails to qualify in the final race, the game is automatically over, and the player cannot continue. Hazards As in the real F1 races, the car is susceptible to damage from contact with another car.

Once a player hits a car or a piece of the trackside scenery, they will be called into the pits. If they let the car smoke too long, it will catch fire, and the message "IMPENDING EXPLOSION" will appear. Either way, if they fail to make it back or hit another car, then they will crash or explode, costing several seconds. Also, if the car reaches speeds in excess of 380 km/h, the speedometer will turn yellow as a warning to the player to let them know the car is going much too fast.

If the car hits another car from behind, the collision will send the car into a devastating cartwheel until it explodes, costing several seconds. In the same light, going too fast through a turn will cause the car to lose grip on the road. If the car loses grip, it will spin out of control. There's a low chance of a wreck happening, but this will definitely take several seconds off the clock.

Also, from time to time, a thunderstorm will occur, causing the track to become wet, and causing the car to lose traction. In that case, the message "CHANGE TIRES" will appear, and the player must immediately get into the pits to change to wet-tyres. If the storm dies down, the road will be covered in puddles. This does not pose a threat.
