Famicom Grand Prix F1 Race/Car selection

Notes about car selection

Price

Pricing for cars is measured in 万ドル, or 10,000s of dollars. For example, a car which costs 30万ドル is valued at $300,000. However, all prize amounts won from races are measured in the same 万ドル, so you can simply focus on the numerical value.

Color

The color of each car indicates the quality of the tires. Blue cars have low quality tires. Yellow cars have average quality tires. Red cars have high quality tires. Green cars have tires which are rated for wet tracks, regardless of tire quality.

Availability

The first 12 cars are immediately available for purchase, although you begin the game with 50万ドル, so you can only afford to purchase cars from the first two rows until you win races. Upon completing a level of racing, a new class of race car is made available for purchase while the highest row of cars is removed.

Expertise

Although not always true, in general the A choice is good for beginners, the B choice is good for intermediate players, and the C choice is recommended for experts. In general, you should attempt to have at least one wet tire rated car once you begin racing in Level 3 and Level 4.
