Autotest
car tuning and raicing game for Commodore 64, 1990
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Autotest consists of a series of short timed courses in which the competitors
use their driving skill in order to get the lowest possible time.
As well as basic driving skills competitors will also need to peform handbrake
turns/j-turns in order to change direction with the maximum speed - try the
controls section first.
Penalty points will be added to the competitor's time if manoeuvres are
carried out incorrectly or if the course is not completed.
At the end of each course the top 2 competitors will be awarded prize money.
Then all of the competitors will be able to visit the workshop and purchase
upgraded parts for their cars.
Each course has a set qualifying time and the competitors must finish within
this time in order to advance to the next stage.
On finishing each of the courses the competitors will be awarded points
depending on their position. These points will be entered into the National
Championship table.
