How to Play Family Circuit
Quick start
At first, set each setting towards the middle, start free practice, and do several laps around the same course. Steering with left and right, accelerating with A, and strongly decelerating with B. It's too late once you see the corner, so look ahead and let go of A first, then use B only when you're short. Once you have completed one lap in a stable manner, proceed to Novice.
Controls
D-pad left and right: Steering. A: Accelerator while pressed, engine brake when released. B: Foot brake. Start：ポーズ。 Select: End of run/Retire. The first generation did not have manual gear changes while driving.
Family Circuit — About this game
``Family Circuit'' is a racing game for the Famicom that combines high-speed scrolling and detailed settings that look down on the cars from directly above. Adjust boost pressure, gear ratio, engine braking, handling, brakes, and tires in four stages to challenge free driving, sprinting, and endurance. Although there is no judgment on collisions with other cars, grass, obstacles, tire wear, mechanical problems, and pit judgments greatly affect the time and completion.
