Reception
Tomasz Dominiak who reviewed it for the Polish magazine "Świat Gier Komputerowych". While praising the graphics as polished and well-crafted, Dominiak criticized the game for lacking originality compared to its recent competitors, describing as a clone of Lotus III but without a track editor. The reviewer was also disappointed by the absence of Gravis Ultrasound (GUS) support, noting that the game only supports the older Sound Blaster. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer found the game sufficiently engaging to spend an extended period playing it, and ultimately recommended it, awarding it gave a score of 70%.[1]
