스토커스의 게임플레이는 GMT 게임 포뮬러 모터 레이싱과 거의 동일하다. 다만 진정한 차이점은 스토커스의 레이스 내내 FMR처럼 특정 팀이 이기도록 하는 것과 달리 어떤 차가 이길지 내기한다는 점이다.

The gameplay for Stockers is almost identical to the GMT game Formula Motor Racing (though Stockers came out 5 years before FMR): namely, there is a line of different race cars and they change position based on which cards the players play. The only real difference is that throughout the race in Stockers players bet on which cars they think will win, vs. trying to make a particular team win like in FMR. Thus players try to make their bets pay off by playing their cards appropriately.
