I've played at 60Hz and have to admit, that the time runs faster.
But the "floating" of the game is more playable. The cause for this might be the higher frame rate. The game is faster, and it can be played faster (more precisely), because the movement is a 'step more' realistic.

I played on PAL and didnt break a sweat getting 107K again - The timing makes its alot harder IMHO since 1 mistake can end your game in NTSC where on PAL it might not be as precise but the clock isnt working against you as hard - Just my observations.

Our scores at our monthly WGL meeting where we play ATARI games

Mad Butscher 102500
Wizard 102400
Grisu 100750
Bunsen 97050

Grisu's screenshot was bad, so I cannot attach it.

That night we also played Pole Position with the usb wheel and the usb cartridge of ABBUC

It's much more harder to play with the wheel, but it's really fun

For comparison our scores with usb wheel:

Wizard 87950
Bunsen 63450
Grisu 50900
Mad Butscher 43950

Yes!!!! Beat 105550 on NTSC that took some time - talk about depressing seeing 110K

Here is my pitiful score. I never liked this game on home consoles and the turning in this version is particularly bad.

86,050

You are very close to the max possible score on NTSC - I would bet 106,xxx is the max for a perfect no break no crash run

Can you get around that big corner without braking? I always crash there.

It is possible to do, however with cars its impossible - I dont brake but hit the LF side of the road to slow down

88050. I didn't bother taking a picture since it's so far out of the top three anyway.

On the hairpin turn it may help to shift into low for a sec or two- also try braking lightly. I usually make it thru unscathed using these methods.

Played both in NTSC and PAL via emulator. NTSC shows strange colors.
