Lotus: The Ultimate Challenge

Description

Licensed by the classic British car company, this game featured 2 modes of play - one has you racing against 19 computer rivals (with witty names such as Alain Phosphate and Crash-Hard Banger), and the other pits you against the clock.

There are 13 different types of races, ranging from Motorways to night-time to sections punctuated by roadworks, and some are lap-based with others being simple A-B. 2 players could play on a split screen mode.

The game's crowning glory, however, was the RECS editor, which allowed you to create courses of your own, with theoretically millions possible.

Trivia

It appears that there are only 3 kinds of cars in the game, but there are actually 5 for you to choose from. The original 3, the opponent's car, and the sprite car. All three were playable in early versions of the game.
