About Math Gran Prix

The principle of the game is to fuel your car with correctly answered math questions. It can move 2 to 3 spaces depending on how hard the math problem is. The track contains many triggers that can give extra spaces, extra turns, and even keep your car on the track. There are areas in the track where a car coming from behind can knock you off, to get back answer a math problem correctly. In the end, the one with the most math skills and greatest planning effort will win the checkered flag.

Before you buy

Low risk; this is a common Atari cart. Two labels are priced: the standard Atari cart and the Sears Tele-Games cart, both inexpensive loose. Boxed copies of the standard cart cost several times the loose price, and sealed copies far more, so check box condition before paying for one. Check whether a European copy is labeled Maths Grand Prix.
