Championship Sprint DescriptionRace against 3 other formula-1 cars on several different track layouts for bonuses while avoiding oil slicks, pools of water, pop-up posts, tornadoes, and automatic doors. Bonuses include prize money and vehicle upgrades.Know anything more about this game? Game PlayChampionship Sprint is an updated version of the old Atari Sprint series with the ability to upgrade your vehicle as the game progresses. Upgrades are won by collecting wrenches that appear once per track. After you have managed to collect four wrenches, you will be presented with an upgrade screen which gives you a chance to choose better traction, top speed, acceleration, or a faster helicopter. You can upgrade every time you collect four wrenches. If you crash head-on into a barricade, it's likely that your vehicle will be destroyed. If this happens, a helicopter will automatically airlift a replacement to the track. Naturally, this takes time and at the beginning of the game, it seems like an eternity. You can improve this time by upgrading the helicopter (as mentioned previously). The replacement will have all of the vehicle upgrades that your previous car had. The tracks are all circular in nature and they vary from the simple oval to contorted tracks with many twists, turns, and bridges. There are also ramps and shortcuts that allow you to circumvent parts of the track. It's great fun with two players.VAPS Arcade CensusGAMES OWNED, WANTED, or FOR SALE BY MEMBERS OF THE VIDEO ARCADE PRESERVATION SOCIETYVery Common - There are 57 known instances of Championship Sprint owned by one of our 900 members.

VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts. Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range. eBay ListingsClick here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for the Championship Sprint Videogame machine and items related to it.Click here to automatically search eBay's Arcade, Jukebox, and Pinball categories for machines and parts made by Atari Games.
