Basics
Grand Prix is a single player game. Use the select button to choose which track you want to race, then hit game reset to begin. Your goal is to reach the finish line in as short a time as possible, after which you can select a new track or hit reset to start the race again. Your elapsed time is tracked in the lower left corner of the screen.
Controls
Car control is fairly simple in Grand Prix. When the race begins, press and hold the fire button to accelerate. Steer with the up and down directional keys. As in a real racing car, steering grows more responsive as you accelerate. Should you need to stop quickly, push the left direction key to apply the brakes -- this is a great way to avoid a collision.
Tip: Challenges
The challenge intensifies with each track in Grand Prix. As you progress through the game, you will encounter more oils slicks and bridges while facing increasingly aggressive competition.
Tip: Crash!
Should you collide with another car, your speed will drop dramatically. It’s best to avoid collisions, of course, but the good news is that your vehicle is not damaged in crashes.
Tip: Oil
Oil slicks won’t affect your speed, but they will cause you to lose steering control very briefly, possibly sending you crashing into another racer. If no other cars are around, though, it’s safe to drive right over oil slicks.
