Gameplay

Like many Amiga racing games from the era, ATR is a top-down racer. Handling was based on drifting around corners and crashing into opponents. Unlike many top-down racers of the time, tracks have shortcuts which add an element of strategy. There are also environmental hazards the player has to avoid, such as oil slicks and small jumps. Tracks have turns that are not just 90 degrees in nature, a feature not present in ''Overdrive'', ATR's predecessor. Pick-ups such as turbos are littered about the track.
