Super Sprint is the grandfather of all the Amiga top-down racing games like Super Cars, Super Off-Road, and Nitro. It is from 1986, predating all of them, it has analog controls, and runs in an impressive 512x384 resolution.
Not having access to Super Sprint arcade machine with pedals and steering wheels, I'm emulating this on MAME and using an Xbox 360 controller.

This game is H.A.R.D. I have trouble winning the second level.

I got a sudden urge to play Super Sprint. I used a few continues and won some races, but I guess you give up the chance to continue once you enter your hiscore initials.

completed the game using 4 continues (all tracks).

I have a sneaking suspicion that the A.I. has dynamic difficulty.

All tracks. It seems easier if you ensure that every race is a photo finish, assumedly causing the AI to not crank up the difficulty.
