SINGLE RACE MODE
The object of this mode is to practice your driving on the 8 tracks. Your i•Racer will display your lap times but no points will be awarded.
Turn the Selector Dial on the Hand Unit to Single Race. Press the A(Accelerator / On / Enter) button to accept your Single Race mode selection.
Next, you will need to select the track on which you would like to race. The currently selected track is blinking in the Track Selection Display portion of your Rearview Mirror Panel. To switch to a different track, move the Steering Wheel. When you see the track layout on which you would like to race displayed in the Track Selection Display, press the A (Accelerator / On / Enter) button to accept that track.
Lastly, you will need to select your desired Transmission mode. The currently selected mode is blinking in the Transmission Selection Display portion of your Instrument Panel. To switch to the opposite mode, move the Steering Wheel. After selecting either MT (Manual Transmission) or AT (Automatic Transmission), press the A(Accelerator / On / Enter) button to accept that mode. NOTE: If you chose the MT (Manual Transmission) mode, you will have to shift gears using the Shift Up (+) and Shift Down (-) buttons in order to accelerate properly.
You will hear 3 tones and the race will start.
CHAMPIONSHIP RACE MODE
The object of this mode is to race on each of the 8 tracks and get the highest scores possible. You will receive bonus points for placing 1st, 2nd or 3rd. If you finish in one of the top three positions, you will also receive bonus points for each bar remaining in each of your gauges.
Turn the Selector Dial on the Hand Unit to Championship Race. Press the A(Accelerator / On / Enter) button to accept your Championship Race mode selection.
In this mode you do not select the track you would like to race on. Your i•Racer will automatically cycle through all 8 tracks.
You will still need to select your desired Transmission mode. The currently selected mode is blinking in the Transmission Selection Display portion of your Instrument Panel. To switch to the opposite mode, move the Steering Wheel. After selecting either MT (Manual Transmission) or AT (Automatic Transmission), press the A(Accelerator / On / Enter) button to accept that mode. NOTE: If you chose the MT (Manual Transmission) mode, you will have to shift gears using the Shift Up (+) and Shift Down (-) buttons.
You will hear 3 tones and the race will start.
PIT STOPS
If your Car Damage is high or your Fuel Gauge is low, look for the “PIT” sign on the left side of the screen. When you see the pit area, steer to the left to enter. If your Car Damage is extremely high or your Fuel Gauge is extreme­ly low, your Crew Chief will tell you to head for the pits. Your first pit stop in each race will not cost you a position. If you need to make additional pit stops due to car dam­age, you will lose positions. How many you lose will be determined by how severely your car is damaged and how long it takes for your pit crew to repair your car. You will need to make one pit stop for fuel in each race, as it takes 1.5 tanks of fuel to complete each race.
SPEED
The maximum speed of your car is 200MPH. The Speed Limits for turns are: Tight Curve: Inside Lane - 120MPH, Middle Lane -
130MPH, Outside Lane - 140MPH Medium Curve: Inside Lane - 140MPH, Middle Lane -
150MPH, Outside Lane - 160MPH Big Curve: Inside Lane - 160MPH, Middle Lane -
170MPH, Outside Lane - 180MPH
OIL SLICKS
Oil Slicks will appear in some of your races. Before they appear, your Crew Chief will warn you. You must avoid them by changing lanes before you get to them or you will lose control of your car.
CRASHING
If you crash into the track barricades or into the car ahead of you, red “Crash Sparks” will be displayed on the sides of the screen and your Hand Unit will vibrate.
