ABOUT THIS TAS
Sometimes I sacrificed some time for entertainment purposes.
I'd say that any motorsports TAS player may beat this time and spare at least 5/10 minutes.

SHORT REVIEW
A little-known racing game for the PS1. There are different teams to choose from, different types of racing cars (buggy, dakar, rally, sport cars, indy cars), and environmental hazards such as water and lava, which spices up the difficulty, but AI opponents and poor handling sometimes make the game frustrating.
AI isn't that good however, and our opponents sometimes crash into each other or onto walls, which gives us some time to overtake them.
Soundtracks between US/JP and EU versions are totally different.

Plot: 0/10 (it's a racing game, duh)
Graphics: 7/10
Gameplay: 7/10
Soundtrack: 6.5/10 (US/JP); 8/10 (EU).

Overall rating: 7/10

TRIVIA ABOUT THIS GAME
1) In the French version the name of "Ahmed" team is changed to "M6".
2) On the sides of the Egypt tracks they use flags of Equatorial Guinea instead of Egypt. Mistake or weird choice?
3) Cheat codes are input in a very unique way: players have to press R1 following the rythm of famous musical themes like "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" or "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay".
4) Car shapes may change between US/JP and EU version. Example: Rossi's sports car is a Chevrolet-like vehicle in NTSC versions, while in EU versions it is similar to a Porsche 911.
