Virtua Racing has the distinction of being the first and only Genesis title to use the SVP chip, a graphics processor which renders shaded, 3D-polygon graphics. Adapted from the breakthrough arcade hit, the game contains three tracks -- beginner, medium and expert -- and four views of the action that can be changed during gameplay. Also available is a choice of automatic or 7-speed manual transmission.

If your car needs repairs, steer into the pits for a quick fill-up and change of tires. After the race, you can take another look at the action with the instant replay feature. Two players can race head-to-head via a split-screen, and the game is compatible with the six-button Sega Arcade Pad. ~ Skyler Miller, All Game Guide
