About Top Gear 2
This third-person racing game resembles Gremlin's earlier Lotus series, in terms of its general look and feel, right down to the text font used in the game. Your task is to race through 16 countries, each of which features four races, with many real-world circuits recreated in incongruous locations (such as the Monza layout in Ayers Rock, and the old Hockenheim in Vancouver). These four-race blocks each represent their own mini-championship, in which you race against 19 cars, needing to finish in the top 10 to continue, and with the top 6 scoring points 10-6-4-3-2-1, and the respective amount of money in thousands. This can be spent on various upgrades, ranging from engine to tires (wet and dry) and from shocks (front, side and rear) to gearboxes. The ideal approach is to buy the more expensive versions ASAP, as you get no saving when upgrading. If you win the four-race championship, you get the next password. You get a set amount of nitro boost to use during each race, although bonus nitros, money and instant speed-up token appear on many tracks. Hazards such as puddles, barriers and ramps are also frequent.

A fast, serviceable Genesis port of a Super NES racer, priced above the middle.
Top Gear 2 is the direct sequel to Top Gear, developed by Gremlin and published for the Genesis by Vic Tokai in North America in 1994. It is an arcade-style racer for one or two players. The Genesis version leaves out the fuel gauge, so fuel economy is not a worry.
Mean Machines Sega called it an exceptionally fast, playable 3D driving simulation that looked and played well even if it was excessively unoriginal. GamePro judged the Genesis version solid on controls and track count but outdated beside newer racers because it offers few ways to alter the car.
How the Sega Genesis version differs
The Genesis port has no fuel gauge, so fuel economy, a real problem in the other versions, is not an issue there.
GamePro found the Genesis version had a good number of tracks and solid controls, but felt dated beside contemporary racers because of its limited car configuration options.
