I didn't like this game so much at first but I think that's just because I was mentally judging it against Wec Le Mans. Taken on its own merits, it's actually pretty good.
Great game. After the disappointment of Atarisoft's dreadful conversion of Pole Position a few years before, this was everything Pole Position should have been, and a little bit more. The lady on the start-finish line was a bit butch though, she looks like slim Vanessa Feltz.
From a time when you had Chase HQ and WEC Le Mans. This has enough individuality to make it stand out as a good racer. Take out all the different features and it would be run-of-the-mill. The programmers put a bit of thought into this game and it shows.
Games where you have to go into the pits really are.. erm.. the pits....apart from Pitstop 2 on the C64.. that was great, but made your wrist hurt like hell if you played with a Konix Speedking... blerg.
Real life tracks, I do believe.
The pit guy on the right does absolutely nothing.

I don't know whether they are real life but it's possible.
The guy on the right was having a good look at the car for something. Maybe he changes the tyres when it starts to rain.

They are both racers of course, but each game has something which gives it it's own unique style.

i think it's a nice feature and makes the game more realistic. No pit stops is like F1 in the 70's.
