The game features team and solo championship modes as well as an "Arcade" mode. Team mode allows the player to toggle between the cars in the player's team during the race; cars that are not being driven by the player are driven by the game's artificial intelligence until the player selects it. The player has to play and win various championships to unlock new tracks, new vehicles and unlock new tournaments to earn cash to purchase those newly unlocked vehicles and/or repair the ones that are currently owned. These unlocked cars, tracks, and race types can be raced, without consequence in the Solo Racing and Team Racing. Notable cars featured in the game include Ford Mustang Boss 302, Ford RS200, Ford GT, Ford Lightning and the Ford Mustang SVT Cobra.
