3. HOW TO PLAY
3.1 Game Rules
The game consists of successive passing a series of championships. The championships differ from each other by complexity: each next championship is more complex, has more severe requirements and the number of tracks, that have to be passed, increases. A championship is passed only when a player earns enough points. Otherwise the player has to exit championship. The amount of points received depends on the player's position at finish of every track. If the player passes a track faster than the others, she/he gets full 4 points; the second fastest gets 3 points; the third fastest gets 2 points, and the last one gets only 1 point.
At first, a player chooses a championship and then a car for this championship. According to the rules, the player can choose any track of the chosen championship except the final one.
As far as all presented cars have different characteristics, each player will have fun finding his or her own styles of driving the cars, in order to win the championships.

your key to anybody else - ask them to purchase the full
version of the game. Giving the key away is stealing and
is against the law.
3.4 Gameplay solution
- While driving some cars with high grip abilities, you can cut off the corners and, in some places, on many tracks, you can look for a short road. While driving some acceleration cars with the low grip, it's advisable to slow down while making turns, otherwise you will dash out from the road. For doing so, you need to release the Up Arrow for some time (see. Game Controls)
- Try to avoid bumping into the back part of a competitor's car with the front part of your car, unless it will dash out the competitor from the road. These kinds of kicks give some additional acceleration to your competitor and, at the same time, slow down your speed for a short time.
- When you are about to finish overtaking of your competitor, you can make a side-winder. This will give you some additional acceleration, so that you will be able to prevent competitor's overtaking of you, by driving from one side to the other in front of the competitor.
- If you need to stop the game for a while in the middle of a championship, you can hit Esc button for activating pause.
