What POD Gold is

POD Gold is a racing game developed by Ubi Soft Entertainment and released in 1999. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Customize your own turbo-charged machine and prepare to rip through futuristic environments, subterranean tunnels, abandoned canyons, and surreal post-nuclear landscapes. Link up to eight simultaneous players, just to make things more intense. But be warned: miss a hairpin turn, spin out at 180 miles an hour – make one small mistake – and you’re vapor. And there’s no going back. You’ve got to win the race or die. POD: Planet of Death was re-released as POD Gold containing both the original game and its expansion (Back to Hell) alongside some improved features.
