"Pole Position" is a Formula 1 racing game where players must qualify for the Grand Prix by completing a timed lap in 73 seconds or less. Successful qualification grants a starting position in the Grand Prix, with faster lap times resulting in better starting positions. During the Grand Prix, players must race against both the clock and other cars, aiming to pass as many as possible while avoiding collisions to achieve the highest score. Failure to beat the Race Timer or crashing into other cars results in game over, requiring players to restart the Qualifying Lap.
