GTI Club

. The game allowed free-roaming of the environment, which was revolutionary for the time, and contained several semi-hidden shortcuts that could be used to reduce lap times. A handbrake is provided which the player is encouraged to use to perform handbrake turns round sharp corners.

A MAME ROM of the game is available, and is playable in MAME versions 114u2 or later (Reset and hold down F2 to set the EEPROM data). You can finish a lap or two, but eventually it will hang on network error ( [http://www.mameitalia.net/index.php?showtopic=8730] ). Ville Linde is actually working on it ( [http://www.mameworld.net/vlinde/project_status.html] ) within MAME.
