Lotus: The Ultimate Challenge description

Racing car brand Lotus. Specifically, for the "Esprit S4", "Elan SE" and "M200". Machines differ from other parameters, but the real difference you most likely will not notice, except that Esprit still quickly all the others. On the highway, which runs one of the 13 landscapes, it is proposed to overtake 20 cars and drive a specified number of checkpoints. In this case will interfere with various objects on the road: puddles, rocks, etc. To be killed on them it is impossible, but to fly off the track it even turns out. However, not all obstacles are so malicious - some you'll just bounce. A particularly nasty stage on the repaired road and in the mountains. But that's not all: your car the ultimate fuel. To refuel (and this should be done long runs), you must stop at the filling strip after the next check-point, marked with the appropriate signs and stand there until the fuel indicator did not rise to acceptable values.

The game like most of the then races, does not suffer from realism of physics or control, but allows you to get a lot of fun, especially when playing together (in Split Screen), due to the diversity of trails and another great features of this game: generate a random route on the basis of specified in a special constructor parameters.

A choice of 10 different "stations". You can play in single race or championship (which you have entered using alphanumeric codes a set of traces).

And on the "futuristic" tracks, there's a Turbo Area, significantly increasing the speed of your machine, and a flashing white strip, hindering the one who would hit her when she is on.
