GamePro gave the Genesis version a mixed review. They criticized the lack of a change view feature (which had by that time become standard for racing games) and the absence of graphical detail, but praised the split-screen multiplayer, highly responsive controls, and the choice of an intense, simplistic arcade mode and a simulation mode which demands careful, thoughtful decision-making from the player.[7] They assessed the Super NES version to be not as good due to the less dramatic visuals and less realistic engine sounds.[8]
Next Generation gave the SNES version of the game two stars out of five, and called the game repetitive, dull, and not fun.[9]
