Gameplay
Double Clutch is a racing video game from an overhead perspective,[2]: 4 in which players race against other opponents around a track.[1] It is played in either one or two players.[2]: 20 The main objective for the player is to qualify for the next race by finishing in the top three in a three-lap race. The game ends if the player finishes in fourth place;[1] in a two-player game, the game continues for both players as long as one of them is in the top three.[2]: 46 At the beginning of the game, players can choose one of the drivers, each has their own driving type. The game also features various weather conditions, such as rain and snow.[1]
If the player finishes in the top three after each race, they can earn the amount of money depending on the driver's position.[2]: 34 Earnings can be used for players to buy parts and make improvements to their vehicle.[2]: 40 Players can change one of three difficulty levels, which determine the speed of the opponent racers and a number of laps; on a hardest setting, players race on five laps. In practice mode, players can race on any of the first four tracks.[2]: 14
