Pitstart is the remake of a Formula 1 racing game. The aim of the game is to earn as much money as possible by winning races. Pitstart offers different race tracks. The other vehicles that show up during the race and need to be overhauled are, unlike 1984, not pure dummies.

The more often the cars collide, the more the four tires, each individually, are used. The tires can be changed in the box with a crew member. Refuelling must also take place in the pits. The fuel gauge must be observed, because overfilling the tank leads to an empty tank and you start filling the tank from the beginning.
