Slip into the driving seat and prepare for the best Formula One racing game since Pole Position!

Pitstop II not only features the usual race sequence, but also an exciting pitstop screen where you have to refuel and change the tyres on your high-performance race car before the other racers get too far in front!

As you race against the opposition, you have to keep an eye on the condition of your tyres and fuel. The harder you drive, the more your tyres wear and you could end up stuck out on the circuit with a blown tyre if you don't take care.

Race against the computer or a friend in this terrific race simulation. Pitstop II features a split screen, Spy Vs. Spy style. Each part of the screen shows the scrolling track and the other race cars - until you decide to make a pitstop that is. Then the display switches to the pits where your crew wait to refuel and change the tyres on your racer. This can get pretty frantic as the computer controlled car - or your friend's racer - gets further in front!

You can check on your tyre wear by watching for a colour change - when they turn white you are in big trouble.

The graphics are excellent and the sound is great - lots of roaring engine sounds - best of all, though, Pitstop II is great fun to play.

You can race on all the major Grand Prix circuits of the world - except, strangely, Silverstone - the home of British motor sport.

You can also compete in the Grand Circuit, racing on each track over a "season".

There is a championship table which flashes up after each race, and several skill levels - from rookie to pro. Now, where did I put my crash helmet?
