FAQ:

Q.: How can I drive backward?
A.: Keyboard: Press the left Ctrl. key and keep it pressed while usíng the the arrow up and arrow down for accelerating and braking. If you release the Ctrl. key use arrow up and arrow down keys again for froward driving.
Joystick, gamepad and wheel etc.: assign the backward command to any button you like and keep it pressed while accelerating and braking.

Q.: Wow, nice music...will there be more of it in the final game?
A.: Yes, there will be a total of 20 soundtracks, 15 of them only for the ingame.

Q.: Why can't I make my own setup for the car?
A.: This option will be included in the final version. There you will have a service area for tuning and repair. The car in this demo has already a special setup for this track.


Tips & Hints:

Driving tips for front wheel driven cars like the Mini Cooper:

Front wheel drive (or, according to some, 'wrong wheel drive') is easiest to drive but can get tricky to master. Whether you apply throttle or steer, all the controlling forces affect front wheels only.
Main thing to keep in mind with front wheel drive is that in the bends it understeers as the front wheels spin and lose traction. This is where left-foot braking or scandinavian flick techniques kicks in.

Left-foot braking:
By carefully braking while keeping the revs up, you can partially or fully lock the tailwheels and throw the tail of your car for a bend, allowing you to complete a tight curve with higher speed than normally.

Scandinavian Flick:
Using left-foot braking technique, you flip your car to a 4-wheel slide heading away from the bend. Upon reaching the turn, coming off the brakes results in a oversteer which flips the car through the curve - but only if you master the timing of brakes, steering and throttle application. Very tricky but when you get the hang of it, it can seriously help your stage times.

Power sliding:
Power slide is essentially reducing traction on the rear wheels while keeping the front-end in control, letting the car oversteer throughout the corner attaining higher speeds than by driving normally. Essential in rallying and requires some practice to get it right as you're practically controlling the car angle with your gas pedal.

Handbrake turn:
Use handbrake only when you really need it. Slow the car down before the turn and when entering, apply handbrake - how much and for how long varies on surface and speed, and requires practice and skill to perform perfectly. Be careful though, handbrake in these cars was designed for parking only and using it while driving might break it.


Bugbear Entertainment Team and JoWooD hope that you will enjoy this game !!!
