F1 ROC II: Race of Champions
F1 ROC II: Race of Champions, originally released in Japan as Exhaust Heat II (エキゾースト・ヒートII), is a 1993 racing video game developed and published by SETA Corporation for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It is the sequel to F1 ROC: Race of Champions, and similarly features Formula One licensing. Unlike that game, F1 ROC II was not released in Europe.
The game takes place in the not-too-distant future. Open wheel racing and stock car racing have merged to become an elite racing circuit for the fastest, youngest, and most daring drivers in the world.
Gameplay
Gameplay is mostly like the first F1 ROC, though this game features a new system of handling that greatly resembles later F-ZERO games; normal turning is 'ice'-like, and tapping the accelerator (referred to as 'boost turning' in F-ZERO) corrects the vehicle.
The game's career structure is no longer simply a Formula One season, and is now similar to games like the PC Engine version of F1 Dream or Formula One: Built to Win; starting from smaller local races, one progresses through the Group C division, Formula 3000, and finally Formula One.
