Speed Up is the variable that determines how fast the car accelerates and slows down. For faster computers, use a setting of 1, for slower computers use 10.
Maximum Speed is the limit on the speed of the car. Fast computers: ~70, slow computers: ~160.
Minimum Speed is the limit on the speed of the car when driving backwards. Fast computers: ~30, slow computers: ~50.
Sound On will stop any currently playing music and randomly choose a new track to play.
Sound Off will stop any currently playing music.
Laps will increase or decrease the number of laps around the track in a race.
When the starting lights turn green, begin racing by using the following keys:
| Left Player | Right Player | |
|---|---|---|
| Move forward | W | Up Arrow |
| Turn left | A | Left Arrow |
| Move backward | S | Down Arrow |
| Turn right | D | Right Arrow |
In order to finish a lap you must cross all four coloured lines and the finish line (blue).
Player times are recorded from the stopwatch running in the upper left corner of the screen.
