General Rules: Game must be played on the actual PAL hardware (C64, C128), No C64 Mini or The C64. Play with default settings unless otherwise specified. No code modifications that give the player an advantage over other players. 1 credit. No continues. 1 player mode only. No use of trainers, cheats, auto-fire (when not default present in-game) , game saves, or cheat codes. Can be overruled by the Specific Rules.

It is discouraged and may lead to voters not accepting your score to:
- excessively point farm
- use glitches or other game exploits

Game must be played on an original PAL machine.
Specific Rules: Must be played on the US version (released by Mindscape)

You can't take advantage of frame glitches that would result in skipping a level, or awarding the end bonus multiple times, or when completing the game at zero seconds exactly at the last frame, it awards maxed out bonus (50x). All these runs, no matter if done on purpose or by accident, must be disqualified.

This version can be identified by having a course selection screen and the lady in the car has yellow hair. On game over this version also includes the classic map overview, showing the track and distance driven. This last one is not entirely exclusive to the US version though, due to a hacked European version also including this scene.

There seems to be some FPS skips on this one. which skips frames of the track for the sake of speeding up the gameplay, at the cost of having a solid time to post.. PAL is just no good here especially on emulation (just emulate NTSC and for gat sake). NTSC doesn't suffer from the skips it seems

For comparison tried a round at US version.. It's super easy to play on a PAL machine though. NTSC has a way harder time with this version, Funny enough, normally NTSC is faster because of more FPS and times being clocked against a chip with an actual time clock.. But this is not the case here, most likely due to the raster interrupt programming.
