a.Open the Windows 95/98/ME/2000 Control Panel folder and double-click on the System icon.
b.Click on the Performance tab. If any of your hardware drivers are not fully optimized for use with Windows 95/98/ME/2000, they will be listed here with an explanation of the exact problem and suggestions on how to fix it.
DirectX 8.0a
Upon completion of the Supercar Street Challenge™ setup, the installation process will continue by determining if Microsoft’s DirectX 8.0a needs to be installed on your computer. If so, the appropriate files will be installed on your computer automatically.
Q.What is DirectX 8.0a and why do I need it?
A.Microsoft’s DirectX 8.0a is a set of functions that gives Windows 95/98/ME/2000 games and other applications their power. Using
5
these functions allows applications to perform advanced functions in networking, graphics, sound, and input beyond what’s possible on other operating systems and accounts for many of the performance gains associated with Windows 95/98/ME/2000 games. Supercar Street Challenge™ uses Direct3D, DirectDraw, DirectSound and DirectInput, four of the DirectX 8.0a functions.
Q.If I don’t have DirectX 8.0a will Supercar Street Challenge™ install it for me?
A.Yes. If InstallShield does not detect DirectX 8.0a on your computer, it will install DirectX 8.0a for you, if you choose. After the entire installation is complete, you will need to restart your computer in order for DirectX 8.0a to take effect.
Q.I already have other Windows 95/98/ME/2000 games installed on my computer. Will the Microsoft DirectX Installer change my DirectX files?
A.If you already have other Windows games on your computer, chances are you already have an earlier version of DirectX installed. In this case, the Microsoft installer will detect and overwrite any previous versions with DirectX 8.0a. At that point, you will need to restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
If, however, you already have DirectX 8.0a installed on your computer, the Microsoft DirectX 8.0a installer will detect that and not overwrite any DirectX 8.0a files. You will not need to restart your computer after installation in order to run Supercar Street Challenge™.

Championship
Design Series: Design, build, and race your own Concept Car as you take it through its paces in the Design Series. Eight challenging courses await you, along with the unique challenge of developing your own Concept Car in the Steve Saleen™ Styling Studio.
Manufacturers Cup: Select your path from the three available driving styles.

Grip offers a more forgiving race experience and is a good place for beginners. Balanced is a step up from Grip, and while it presents its own set of challenges, it is still relatively forgiving. Drift is the hardest of the styles to master. Faster than the other cars, but tough to handle through the turns, the Drift Series will push your skills to the limit. Each style offers eight races across three classes of vehicles, and a special prize at the completion of each one.
Quick Race
Compete in a custom race against A.I.-controlled opponents. Select your track, race options, and car, and hit the road.
Time Attack
In this mode, you can set the number of laps to learn the course and perfect your time.
Head to Head
Compete head-to-head in split-screen competition using cars unlocked in championship mode. You can also race your own custom cars against each other in this mode.
CHAMPIONSHIP DETAILS
Championship is the main mode of the game. By winning a variety of races, you’ll earn new cars and Design Studio parts and increase the number of tracks on which you can compete.
Qualifying Position
Each class has a minimum position the player can finish in to move on to the next race. This is called the “Qualifying Position.”
For example: If the QP is second place, and you finish in fourth place, you must run that race again, trying to finish in second place or above. Check the QP before starting your race on the Race Preparation screen.
Create-a-car
When you start a championship with a create-a-car, you are given the option to enter the Steve Saleen™ Styling Studio (please see the Styling Studio portion of this manual) and can create your own car. When the championship is complete, your supercar is entered into the top class as a rival car for future A Class races.
