The boutchannel presents: Top Gear — Stonehenge, England
Top Gear, a pioneering racing title developed by Gremlin Graphics and published by Kemco in 1992, stands as a cornerstone of retro gaming. With its dynamic split-screen functionality and intense gameplay mechanics, it quickly captivated audiences worldwide. The game introduced players to the thrill of international racing, with each track offering a unique blend of challenges and rewards. Among the four cars available in the game, the Weasel—known for its mid-tier stats in acceleration and tire grip—shines as a versatile choice, perfectly suited for Track 32: Stonehenge, England.
For this epic race, we’ve chosen the Weasel, a versatile and well-balanced vehicle inspired by the legendary Ford RS200. With a maximum speed of 220 km/h (137 mph), an impressive acceleration time of 4.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h (60 mph), and mid-tier tire grip, the Weasel strikes an ideal balance between speed and control. Its fuel consumption is also moderate, allowing players to maintain a competitive pace without frequent pit stops.
As the final course in the Top Gear World Tour, Stonehenge epitomizes the culmination of a driver's skill and strategy. This scenic track, spanning 2.34 km (1.56 miles), is characterized by its temperate climate and smooth daylight visibility. With a moderate difficulty level rated at 1/10, the track offers players a balance between challenge and accessibility. The course comprises four laps, with an optimal lap time of 2’04”85, testing players' precision in navigation and fuel management.
Stonehenge's winding curves and undulating terrain demand a calculated approach. The uphill sections require meticulous timing to maintain momentum, while the downhill stretches are ideal for deploying the Weasel’s nitro boosts. We must strategically manage their limited three nitros to gain an edge over competitors, especially on the third and fourth laps, where they can maximize top speeds.
The Weasel is an excellent choice for both novice and intermediate players. Its well-rounded acceleration and grip ensure steady performance through Stonehenge's challenging corners. Although not the fastest car in Top Gear, the Weasel excels in consistency, offering reliable handling even in high-pressure scenarios.
Stonehenge presents traffic blockers and CPU backmarkers often create bottlenecks on narrow stretches of the track. These obstacles necessitate quick reflexes and precise overtaking maneuvers to maintain a competitive position. The Weasel's responsive steering aids in navigating tight corners, providing players with the control needed to outmaneuver rivals.
The rivals proceedㅡthe 32nd race against Weasel presents a final test of skill, especially for racers who have honed their abilities throughout the previous challenges. Razor's medium fuel consumption and decent acceleration become valuable assets, especially in a course that requires careful nitro management. Smooth cornering is crucial; timing is everything as overtakes will decide the overall standing. Securing first place in this last race is a testament to the player’s mastery of speed and control, showcasing the seamless harmony of driving skill and strategic thinking that Top Gear embodies.
Stonehenge, as the closing track, symbolizes both a victory lap and a final challenge. Its relatively lenient difficulty allows players to reflect on their journey through the game’s diverse tracks, from the bustling streets of Tokyo to the serene landscapes of Scandinavia.
