Distinctive Software developed this racing simulator where players pilot one of 5 sports cars through a mountain strip. Managing a manual stickshift is required to avoid redlining and blowing the engine, while a radar detector helps track approaching police. The goal is to maintain maximum speed without crashing or getting caught by law enforcement during single-player sessions.
