I had to look up Virtua Racer to see what you were going for. This is suprisingly good as a recreation, given what you have to work with. But I'm afraid this Pico-8 thing is just too limiting. For any game. It looks to be a compromise between NES and Atari 2600 graphics but with a better colour palette. All that dithering makes it difficult just to look at the game, never mind concentrate on the road. But you did a great job of making it work.
A really good re-creation but there's one problem: The Expert track is impossible.
Even with flawless driving you simply don't have enough time to finish the course before you get a game over. You're able to make it to the final lap but once you get there, the timer will run out before you can get to the 2nd checkpoint.
This is really cool but I personally like Daytona USA more that VIRTUA racing . I would be really cool to see any part of Daytona running on pico 8 but still this is really impressive for pico-8 hardware, reminds me of pico world race but just a little visually worse (but your game still looks cool I just like the look of pico world race)
