Final Lap 2/Gameplay

Controls

 * Steering Wheel: Use the steering wheel for steering your car (as with the original, they are Team Williams if you are player 1 or 5, Team McLaren if you are player 2 or 6, Team March if you are player 3 or 7, or Team Lotus if you are player 4 or 8) left and right, just as you would with any real car.
 * Gas Pedal: Step on the gas pedal to accelerate your car. The harder you step on it, the faster your car goes (until it hits another car, or a billboard).
 * Break Pedal: Step on the break pedal to decelerate your car. The harder you step on it, the slower your car goes (until it stops moving completely).
 * Hi/Lo Shift: Use the gear shifter to change the gear that your car is driving in (as with the original, you should start it out in low gear, and shift it into high gear once it has reached 100 km/h). Unlike in that original game, the position of the shifter is displayed in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Player Cars
These are the cars that the players must take control of for the Formula One race on one of the four tracks. From left to right: Team Williams (Player 1 and 5), Team McLaren (Player 2 and 6), Team March (Player 3 and 7), and Team Lotus (Player 4 and 8).

CPU Cars
If a single player is playing the game alone, then his position in the race will never change from 1/1, regardless of how many of these plain green CPU-controlled cars he passes; however, if multiple players are playing the game simultaneously when four two-player cabinets are linked together, and any of those other players are ahead of the first player at any time, the first player's position will be 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5, 6/6, 7/7 or 8/8.
