Virtua Racing requires a great deal of concentration and control in order to succeed. Although the Big Forest track can mainly be driven at full speed, providing the corners are taken well, the other two courses require much more steady control over the brakes and acceleration. Originally added at the Seventh Mega Drive Championship, it was seen as an unknown quantity that would perhaps mix up the predictable competitions of that era. Doc Shakib is ranked at the best Virtua Racing player in the Mega Drive Championships. He held a 100% record on this game until he was beaten by Captain Maltby at the Eighteenth Tournament, who is now starting to threaten Doc Shakib for his top spot. Members are allowed to select a manual transmission change, as opposed to the default automatic, although nobody thus far has opted to do so.
