Set-Up:
The game board is a patchwork of 25 rectangles, each representing one of three terrains: pavement, dirt, or water. Each race is run from the lower left to upper right, as indicated. Along the bottom of the screen, the odometers show you the speed your vehicle travels on each terrain. Also available on the screen are multiple tabs: Options, Race Stats, Personal Stats, and Graph. The Stats and Graph tabs give feedback data after the races.
Play:
For the best playing experience, close all other windows and applications on your computer.
Before each race, you have the option of changing your vehicle in the Options tab. Each vehicle travels along each terrain at different speeds.

Once you have chosen your vehicle and are ready to begin the race, click the Start button at the bottom of the screen. In two-player games, a timer may start the race automatically if Start is not clicked after a period of time. Once the race is underway, use either the A key or up arrow to move your vehicle forward.
