Lotus: The Ultimate Challenge Overview
Lotus: The Ultimate Challenge is a racing game officially associated with the British car manufacturer. Its primary modes involve competing against numerous computer opponents or attempting to beat a time limit.
The computer-controlled racers are given humorous pseudonyms. Events take place across thirteen distinct race types, which include motorways, nocturnal conditions, and routes interrupted by construction zones. Some competitions are structured as laps, while others simply require travel from a start point to a finish.
A split-screen option allows for two participants to race simultaneously. A notable feature is the integrated course editor, known as the RECS editor, which provides tools for players to design their own tracks. The potential number of user-generated courses is described as reaching into the millions.
