Pole Position is a racing game released by Namco in 1982 (and published by Atari in the United States that same year). Your goal is to drive your Formula One race car around the Fuji Speedway while avoiding crashing into other cars. The game is broken up into two segments: a qualifying round, where you try to complete a lap of the course for positioning and points; and a race segment, where you have to complete four laps around the track before the time runs out. Crossing the start/finish line gives you a time bonus.
