Castrol Honda SuperBike World Champions

The player controls a motorcyclist in races on various international race tracks. Game modes are "Practice" and "Championship". Each race has three parts: "Practice Session", "Qualifying" and "Race". There are closed-circuit Grand Prix tracks and street race tracks. The degree of "realism" can be modified (4 to 24 riders; 3 to 10 laps or "full race" which is 100 km). The bike setup offers tweaking of the gear sprockets. It is possible to play with five other players via network or splitscreen.

The game received average reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Next Generation said that the game "had the potential to be a top-notch racing simulation. Instead, it's just another racing has-been. Check the bargain bins for a PC copy of Matrix TT [sic] – it's cheaper and a lot more fun."

The game was reviewed by the German magazine PC Games and received a rating of 74%. The reviewer concluded that while the game represented a bright spot among racing games, he was hoping for more simulation aspects.{{cite magazine |title=Castrol Honda Superbike World Championships [sic] |magazine=PC Games |publisher=Computec |date=August 1998 |page=144}}
