This value-minded release offers three styles of virtual auto racing. Players can take the wheel in Street Stock, Dirt Midget, and Late Model competitions. Races take place on an assortment of 15 tracks, including figure-8s, D-shapes, and tri-ovals. Vehicle damage occurs in real-time. A career mode allows players to progress from local competitions, to regional races, to national championship. Saturday Night Speedway's developer, Australia's Ratbag Games, is known for its earlier releases in the genre, which included Powerslide, Leadfoot, World of Outlaws: Sprint Cars, and Dirt Track Racing series.
