Arcade version
Players have to choose between the "World Grand Prix" and "Free Run" modes. While in the first mode, the player has to choose one of four races (that are divided into four different groups). In the "Free Run" mode, the player basically competes on a single circuit out of the sixteen Grands Prix that are available in the game. The graphics are greatly improved from its prequel and the game is faster and more sensitive to the player's controller. Activating the turbocharger within the players' helps to increase the peak speed of the vehicle for a short period of time. However, the turbocharger can only be used three times per race before it becomes unusable. Each Grand Prix includes a one-lap qualifying run and a race of at least three laps.
Super Famicom version
Unlike the Arcade version, the player can choose all the teams and main drivers that competed in the 1992 season. The main feature was the introduction of a Story mode. The instruction manual comes with a score board where players could write down their results in pencil for their friends to keep track of the number of points that they would receive in the "World Grand Prix" mode.
