Stop at the first pitstop marked PITSTOP, to repair any damage and replenish
your boost. Wait a short time until you get the GO! message. The first golden
rule to success in any racing game is to learn and memorize the tracks. This
will allow you to anticipate corners and thus take a faster line and an 
overall quicker lap time will result. Regular glances at the mini map will
also help to refresh your memory. If you keep finding yourself crashing or 
spinning off the track, you're going too fast. Don't worry about winning at
first. Instead, concentrate on staying on the track as much as possible and
memorizing the track as you go. Changing to one of the Auto Zoom Cameras and
or changing the Camera Height will give you a greater view of the track and 
should help to make driving easier.

The Mini map displays all the cars and there positions on track. The Red dot
is always the player car, the Green dot shows the first place car and the 
many Blue dots are the AI cars. If the Green Dot disapears from the mini map
the Player Car will be in the lead and in first place. This will also be 
shown on the Position display in the top right hand corner of the screen.
