Rad Racer/Courses

Course 1: Sunset Coastline
In your introductory race, you will be driving along side Volkswagon Beetles that drive pretty fast, so you don't have to worry about flipping if you rear-end them. This course teaches you about the basics of what you can expect from future courses.

Course 2: San Francisco Highway
Don't get distracted by the pretty night lights in the background. Focus on the road up ahead and any Corvettes that are approaching you. Don't be surprised to find three of them lining up to block your progress. Wait for one of them to pull ahead and break out of the pack.

Course 3: Grand Canyon
Most of the turns are packed into the beginning and end of this course, allowing you to drive fairly fast through the two middle legs. You'll encounter Citreons along this stage. You will have to start watching out for particularly slow Citreons that may cause your car to flip if you crash into the back of them. Slow down if you approach them too quickly.

Course 4: Ruins of Athens
You finally get to tour a European destination by viewing the ruins of Athens off in the distance. You'll be doing so along with a group of tourists, each riding a Mercedes Benz. This is the first course which requires that you drive near-perfectly in order to possess enough time to reach the finish line. You won't get enough time from the third leg alone to make it.

Course 5: Los Angeles Night Way
Not only are you back in the United States, and not only are you back in California, but you are back on a densely populated highway at night time. Not only will this course significantly ramp up the curvature of the road, but you will be pitted against other drivers in Lamborghini. Some drivers like to change lanes frequently, while others drive very slow and create crashing hazards.

Course 6: Snow White Line
You will now have the opportunity to drive along a snowy pass, presumably along the Rocky Mountains. You will be driving along side Lotus Esprit cars. Unlike other racing games where you might worry about your tire's grip on the road in a snowy climate, you don't have to worry about slipping here any more than usual. Just keep your eye on your speed and be ready for fast adjustments to turns in the road.

Course 7: Seaway In Typhoon
Porsches are driven by your opponents in this course. Nature is out in full effect as you drive along a coastline during severe weather. Use all the skills you've learned so far to keep you on the road during this penultimate course.

Course 8: Last Seaside Running
You've made it to the final course of the game. Expect to be tested. You need to perform this course as close to flawlessly in order to have any hopes of winning and seeing the ending. And don't expect the drivers driving Testarossas to show you any mercy either. They come in large numbers, but this can actually work to your advantage. They appear so regularly that they typically occupy all three lanes. This means that they will rarely have the opportunity to change lanes and cut you off.
