Burnin' Rubber is the game that was included with every Plus and GX4000 on a cartridge, in a bid to showcase the Plus machine's new hardware abilities.

Therefore it was quite popular, although it did not really show off the Plus capabilities, being an early title and all.

Despite that, it wasn't a bad game on its own and is considered one of the good racing games on the Amstrad.
