Believe it or not, I have fond memories of playing this game twice. The first was while standing at our local G&G (don't bother looking them up, they haven't existed for decades, but just imagine an EB Games or a Game Stop) playing this at one of their TV/play stands. I don't know how many 10-year-olds are going to be excited about an F-1 racing game, but this one sure was because I actually knew who Al Unser Jr. was from watching the Indy 500 almost nearly every year with my Dad. So there was a game with a real life person I recognized on the cover and I played it, convinced that I was doing a damn good job. Then, some time later, I had my parents rent the game from one of the stores in town (it might've been Placer TV/Video; don't bother looking them up, they haven't existed for a decade). That was the last time I played Turbo Racing, but I apparently enjoyed it enough for this track to be somewhat reminiscent and to have embedded itself in my memory banks as something to keep a hold of.
So, there you go. Some good music with a trip down memory lane.
