About Race Mania

Race Mania is a 3D racing game where aggressive tactics against other drivers are a central part of the experience. The game provides a selection of ten cars and twenty tracks for this competitive action.

Player interaction is a major focus, supporting up to eight participants. A split-screen option is available for two-player local competition. The game includes a management layer where vehicles can be purchased, sold, and fixed.

Customization tools allow players to design their own circuits using a built-in track editor. The structure of competition can be personalized through user-created leagues or by selecting from ten pre-existing ones. Players can also adjust the overall aggression level, choosing from settings described as Peaceful, Normal, or Brutal.
