In the center of the screen is a "pit," where spare cars are displayed. The game begins with two cars in the pit. When a level is cleared, a new car is added to the pit, and bonus points are scored. When a crash occurs, a car is removed from the pit. A maximum of four cars can occupy the pit at any given time. If a level is cleared with four cars in the pit, bonus points are scored, but no new cars are added.
==Play of the gameGameplay==[[File:1981 - Car Wars Cartridge.png|400px|thumb|frame|right|1981 Car Warts Solid State Cartridge]] When the game starts, the player's red car and the computer's yellow car face -off back-to-back at the bottom of the screen (6:00 position), and start off moving in the opposite direction.
After one level is cleared, the starting position of the computer's yellow car moves to the left of the screen (9:00 position). When the second screen is cleared, the yellow car moves back to its original position, but the computer adds a new ''blue'' car, which starts at the left. After this level is cleared, the blue car shifts to the second-outermost lane.
