What is Lotus Turbo Challenge 2?

Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 shifts the Lotus series to pure arcade racing, replacing lap‑based tracks with course‑based time trials. Players race the Lotus Elan SE on odd levels and the Lotus Esprit SE on even levels, aiming to beat the clock and qualify for the next stage. The game uses the full screen for single‑player action and features split‑screen multiplayer for up to two racers. The title drops fuel limits and difficulty settings, focusing on fast‑paced racing with only engine sounds and no background music. Opponent cars appear in varied colors, adding visual variety to the retro graphics originally developed for the Amiga and later ported to other platforms.
