[edit] Availiable Upgrades

During the championship season, you may upgrade your car with these parts:

Soft Tires: These tires are softer than the normal tires. As such they grip the road better, but must be replaced after every race.

Qualifying Tires: These tires are even softer than the Soft Tires, but can only be used during qualifying and must be replaced after every race.

Aero Upgrade: This upgrade allows you to adjust the front and rear downforce of your car.

Suspension Upgrade: This allows you to adjust certain parameters of your suspension.

Transmission Upgrade: This allows you to adjust your gear ratios.

Braking Upgrade: This allows you to adjust the balance between front and rear braking force.

Tuned Engine: This engine has more horse power than the stock engine.

Racing Engine: This engine has even more power than the Tuned Engine. The Tuned Engine must be purchased first.

Qualifying Engine: This engine has even more power than the Racing Engine, but can only be used during qualifying and must be rebuilt after every race. The Racing Engine must be purchased first.

Weight Reduction Stage 1: Reduces the weight of the car.

Weight Reduction Stage 2: Further reduces the weight. Stage 1 must be purchased first.

[edit] Rewards

For each championship the player wins after the Escort Season, the player wins a "Black" car for each subsequent championship. The Black cars are special cars tuned to handle better, weigh less, and have more horse power.

[edit] Issues

The game suffered from bad graphics and some glithces similar to Gran Turismo. On the Ka and the Puma, the tires width is about that of a bicycle tire, which is too small to be realistic on a car.^{[citation needed]}
