USING A CONTROLLER/WHEEL
Managing and learning how to handle various cars on the
highway takes practice and often requires adjustments to
the control that the driver is using. Drivers can use either
a keyboard, joystick, or driving wheel with pedals.
Enable Controller: on/off
Enable Force Feedback: on/off
Controller Dead Zone: Use the slider to set the Dead Zone
level. A high Dead Zone setting means that you move the
input device very far before seeing much car movement.
Controller Sensitivity: Use the slider to set the Control
Sensitivity level. The higher the sensitivity, the faster the
vehicle reacts to the input device. This will adjust keyboard
input sensitivity as well.
Automatic Shifting: When set to On, the computer handles
the car’s transmission.
6
7
Speed Sensitivity: Steering becomes more difficult as your
speed increases. Set low for easy steering at any speed or
high to prevent over-steering at high speeds.
Realism Mode:
• Arcade: Uses arcade physics and fun.
• Pro: Simulates hard-driving action.
GAME MODES
Down at the garage…
As you prepare for a whirlwind racing tour of the
American sunbelt, you’ll start with three roadsters
ready to begin the cross-country adventure. A new
hot rod is added to your garage upon the successful
completion of each Rally. Each Rally also has a
special Bonus car that is unlocked only if you come
in first place overall for that entire Rally.
Main Menu
Race: There are three racing modes to choose
8
from here: Test-Drive, Practice, Rally.
Test-Drive: Here is the chance to test out a new or different car
in your garage before starting a Rally. Hop into your roadster and
check out what it can do. Take those tight turns and plow into
the dirt and gravel as you learn to master each of the cars’
various handling challenges. Remember that each car has its
own strengths and weaknesses and it is the hot driver that
knows when to pull out of a turn or jam on the accelerator.
Practice until you are ready!
Practice: This mode allows you to focus your skills on mastering
a particular track with that favorite roadster. You can use any car
you have, and choose from any track you have completed or any
track in the current Rally. As you complete a rally or track, it is
made available for you to master. You have the option of driving
it both with or without traffic. When racing in Practice mode,
there will be no other opposing race cars.
Rally: This is where it all comes together! After
selecting the rally that you have qualified for, you
will race against seven other die-hard racers.
Your driving skills will be tested to the max
as you struggle for position while dodging
oncoming traffic. Your position will be
9
shown on the top left if you have selected that option in the
Options Screen. The opposing racers will have their position
shown on top of their cars. When in Rally mode, you always
race against 7 other racers that will stop at nothing to qualify
and make it to the next rally.
Map: When looking across this great land of ours, you’ll be able
to cycle through each rally showing its destinations and final
cities. As you successfully complete a rally, the next one will
become available.
Records: Tracking your progress and matching or beating
the best times are listed in the Records screen. It shows your
scores and times as you participate in each rally and by track.
It also distinguishes between racing in ARCADE mode or
PRO Mode.
Music: Banging out your favorite tunes while you’re smokin’
down the highway is as easy as choosing the tunes in the Music
Screen or just putting in your favorite music CD in the CD Drive.
Individual music tracks can be selected or deselected for play,
as well as Random play and the Repeat function.

OPTIONS

free to adjust your options settings as needed.
Miscellaneous
These are your basic settings that allow you to enjoy
different aspects of the game. Each one will enhance and
challenge every driver.

from which the player will start as default. Players can change
this during the race using some of the keyboard quick keys.

may result in a lower frame rate.

graphics card has trouble displaying Alpha channel
transparency. It will help the effect.
