Championship Sprint is an updated version of the old Atari Sprint series with the ability to upgrade your vehicle as the game progresses. Players may win upgrades by collecting wrenches that appear once per track. After you have managed to collect four wrenches, you will be presented with an upgrade screen which gives you a chance to choose better traction, top speed, acceleration, or a faster helicopter. You can upgrade every time you collect four wrenches. If you crash head-on into a barricade, it’s likely that your vehicle will be destroyed. If this happens, a helicopter will automatically airlift a replacement to the track. Naturally, this takes time and at the beginning of the game, it seems like an eternity. You can improve this time by upgrading the helicopter as mentioned previously. The replacement will have all of the vehicle upgrades that your previous car had. The tracks are all circular in nature and they vary from the simple oval to contorted tracks with many twists, turns, and bridges. There are also ramps and shortcuts that allow you to circumvent parts of the track. It’s great fun with two players.
