Newman/Haas IndyCar featuring Nigel Mansell Overview
Newman/Haas IndyCar featuring Nigel Mansell is a licensed CART racing title for the Sega Genesis. Its career mode spans fifteen tracks across North America, beginning with a season opener in Australia, and features a mix of oval and road courses. Players compete against twelve other drivers for the championship.
Two distinct gameplay modes are available. An Arcade mode offers a more accessible experience, while a Simulation mode introduces stricter rules, mandatory car tuning, and a lower damage threshold, making it challenging due to the risk of disqualification. The game supports single-player action, split-screen multiplayer with a friend, or split-screen competition against computer opponents.
Visually, it distinguishes itself from many contemporary 16-bit driving games by incorporating polygonal structures around its tracks. Audio options allow players to toggle music and engine sounds during races. A single race option is also present, though its practice feature is not immediately obvious.
