Road Rally Basic Training
 

Welcome to Road Rally racing 101! This is one racing class where you don't need a driver's license. First off, before you get behind the wheel, here are some recommended quick tips to help you get a head start.

Tips for the Game
  • Each race starts with a red light that cycles to green, and then you're off! (Use that Up Arrow to get started.) Get to the finish line before your time is up!
  • When approaching a curve, decrease your speed by letting up on the Up Arrow . Keep your eyes on the map display to know when those curves will come.
  • If you apply the brake (Down Arrow ) while you're turning, it will cause the handbrake to engage.
  • When you're stuck facing the wrong direction, you're clueless as to where you are, and you don't know what happened to the track, use the spacebar! It is like a race "reset" key and will put you back on track facing the correct direction.
  • Note : When you use the spacebar, you are going to start from a dead stop, so you may lose a little time having to accelerate. However, you'll be back in the race and heading the correct direction!
  • Pick up the red Driveway swooshes! They're good for serious bonus points. It takes some skill to drive the correct line to pick all of them up.
  • Watch out for exit ramps. Some paths will lead you off the track.
  • Keep an eye out for traffic, especially when you're racing competitively. Other cars can get in your way.
