!!This game provides examples of:
* AlwaysNight: Obviously, as a racing game set at night.
* CameraAbuse: The game screen gets cracked if you run into something in the C64 version.
* {{Cap}}: The point counter maxes out at 999. That said, going any higher than that makes it overflow.
* NonIndicativeDifficulty: The Expert and Pro tracks may actually be easier than the Novice track, as even if they have more twists and turns, the design is at least more predictable.
* NoPlotNoProblem: No plot present at all. Just drive.
* TimedMission: You have 100 seconds, with a potential 100 more seconds in bonus time. Drive as far as you can.
