The [[Sega Saturn]] port of ''[[Virtua Racing]]'' was not produced by [[Sega]], but rather by [[Time Warner Interactive]], who released it in 1995 as '''''Time Warner Interactive's VR Virtua Racing''''' (for some reason they considered VR part of the game's name, as evidenced in the in-game copyright screen). In Japan the port is called '''''Virtua Racing SEGASATURN''''' (バーチャレーシング セガサターン).
+
'''''Time Warner Interactive's VR Virtua Racing''''' is a port of ''[[Virtua Racing]]'', released in 1995 for the [[Sega Saturn]]. The port was produced by [[Time Warner Interactive]] rather than Sega. The VR is considered part of the game's name, as evidenced in the in-game copyright screen. In Japan, the port is called '''''Virtua Racing Sega Saturn''''' (バーチャレーシング セガサターン).
  
−
This port adds several new tracks and vehicle types and rearranged CD audio music. It does not contain anything from ''[[Virtua Racing Deluxe]]'', and the graphics quality was not raised far above the [[Sega Model 1]] original's.
+
The game is an enhanced port of the original game, expanding the number of tracks and vehicle types and introducing a Grand Prix mode. It does not contain any of the additional content from the [[Sega 32X]] game, ''[[Virtua Racing Deluxe]]'' (although both contain prototype cars).

===New Tracks===

The game is a racing game that plays similarly to the arcade original but with more vehicles, tracks, and modes.

===New Vehicles===
+
The car steers with {{left}} and {{right}}. It accelerates with {{C}} and brakes with {{B}}. If the player chooses the manual transmission option, {{L}} downshifts and {{R}} upshifts. The game supports the [[Arcade Racer]].
−
(TODO)
+
 
 +
===Modes===
 +
The Arcade mode has the player race five laps against fifteen computer-controlled opponents. Each track is broken into multiple timed segments, and the player is given more time for passing a checkpoint marker. The player is retired from the race if time runs out. Only the F-1 car and the three tracks from the original arcade game (Big Forest, Bay Bridge, and Acropolis) are available to play.
 +
 
 +
The Practice mode lets the player can race on any of the tracks with or without opponents. The player can pick any car and any team colors. In this mode, there is no time limit. The player can choose to race 4, 5, or 10 laps or can choose "Free Run," where the race lasts until the player decides to stop. This is the only mode that can be played with a second player in split-screen.
 +
 
 +
The Grand Prix mode puts the player through a season tour consisting of all ten tracks and all five vehicles. The player starts with the Go Kart and graduates to the next vehicle after earning enough points. Points are awarded depending on the player's placement at the end of each race:

Time Warner Interactive's VR Virtua Racing is a port of Virtua Racing, released in 1995 for the Sega Saturn. The port was produced by Time Warner Interactive rather than Sega. The VR is considered part of the game's name, as evidenced in the in-game copyright screen. In Japan, the port is called Virtua Racing Sega Saturn (バーチャレーシング セガサターン).

The game is an enhanced port of the original game, expanding the number of tracks and vehicle types and introducing a Grand Prix mode. It does not contain any of the additional content from the Sega 32X game, Virtua Racing Deluxe (although both contain prototype cars).

Gameplay

The game is a racing game that plays similarly to the arcade original but with more vehicles, tracks, and modes.

The car steers with Left and Right. It accelerates with C and brakes with B. If the player chooses the manual transmission option, L downshifts and R upshifts. The game supports the Arcade Racer.

Modes

The Arcade mode has the player race five laps against fifteen computer-controlled opponents. Each track is broken into multiple timed segments, and the player is given more time for passing a checkpoint marker. The player is retired from the race if time runs out. Only the F-1 car and the three tracks from the original arcade game (Big Forest, Bay Bridge, and Acropolis) are available to play.

The Practice mode lets the player can race on any of the tracks with or without opponents. The player can pick any car and any team colors. In this mode, there is no time limit. The player can choose to race 4, 5, or 10 laps or can choose "Free Run," where the race lasts until the player decides to stop. This is the only mode that can be played with a second player in split-screen.

The Grand Prix mode puts the player through a season tour consisting of all ten tracks and all five vehicles. The player starts with the Go Kart and graduates to the next vehicle after earning enough points. Points are awarded depending on the player's placement at the end of each race:
