WELCOME TO TEST DRIVE 6
Did you ever want to challenge a dream supercar against a flexing muscle car? Slip behind the wheel of your street rod off the lot, or a high tech concept car right out of the R&D garage. Race all over the world, win your races and upgrade your ride. Are you the best? Find out...in the ultimate thrill ride!
SELECT PLAYER
Click on CREATE NEW PLAYER to create a racing identity under which you can acquire and maintain a collection of vehicles, a series of high scores, and record entry into hidden elements of the game. Backspace over "Player 1" and type in the name under which you wish to race and press RETURN.
MAIN MENU
The Main Menu offers the following options. Use the arrow keys or your mouse to select an option and then press the ENTER or left-click . To back up one menu, press ESC.
IMPORTANT DRIVING TIP: You must learn to powerslide to get through sharp turns
at high speed. Use the Handbrake during a turn to powerslide. Tap the button to get the most slide with the least slow-down.
•PRACTICE
Select Track: Use your mouse or the arrow keys to choose from the linear or circuit tracks available. Win Tournaments to unlock more Practice tracks. Left-click or press ENTER to make your choice.
Select Car: Use your mouse or the arrow keys to choose from the vehicles available. Left-click or press ENTER to make your choice
Transmission: Use your mouse or the arrow keys to toggle between automatic and manual transmission. Left-click or press ENTER to make your choice.
Race: After you’ve chosen a car and a track, you’re ready to hit the streets and leave the competition behind.
Exit: Leave this screen.
TOURNAMENT WAGERING SYSTEM: Make a wager on your race, and the other five racers will match your bet. There are maximum and minimum limits to the amount you are allowed to wager. If you cannot meet the minimum wager, you must go out and earn more credits through Single Races, Cop Chases or Challenges.
If the listed bet is not one you want to make, use BACKSPACE or DELETE to erase the default bet, and then type in the wager you wish to make.
Half of the credits ponied up for each race in a tournament is paid out to the top three finishers, and the other half goes into the Tournament pot. The pot is paid to the driver with the lowest cumulative racing time at the end of that Tournament.
• RACE MENU
Single Race: You may only choose this option after you have purchased a vehicle in the Garage. Select a track, as in Practice. Place your wager, and beat your opponents.
Tournament Race: You may only choose this option after you have purchased a vehicle. Choose the class in which you want to race, and which tour of that class in which you will race. You can upgrade your vehicle before each race.
At first, only the Class 1 Tournament is available. Cars in Classes 2 through 4 have higher performance and greater costs. When you have acquired enough credits and purchase a car in Class 2, 3 or 4, the respective tournaments are also opened to you.
Cop Chase: You may choose this feature only after you have purchased a vehicle in the Garage. Choose a police vehicle to drive in pursuit of the other drivers. Choose your course, and choose your mission. For the event, "Stop the Racers," every racer has a "morale" bar shown above his car. Knock the morale bar down to zero by bumping into him to pull him over. Or, block him off, using your car as a barricade to stop his forward progress. For every racer you manage to cite, you will be rewarded with credits.
HOT TIP: If you are the cop, go after the fastest racer first, otherwise, the others may slip past you.
Challenges: You may only choose this option after you have purchased a vehicle in the Garage. These races are outside the tournament structure, and may be outside of "acceptable" public behavior. Each is a test of your driving skills and measurement of the competitiveness of your vehicle. While the rewards are high, you may encounter difficulties in completing each Challenge.
Garage: Enter the Garage to select a car to race, purchase a new car, modify cars you own, or sell cars.
Change Car: Choose from the vehicles in your garage for your next race or tournament.
Upgrade: Once you have at least one vehicle in your garage and some credits in your account, you can begin upgrading your vehicle(s). There are four categories of upgrades, and each category has a number of levels of superiority to make the vehicles better, faster, and more competitive. The categories are Engine, Brakes, Tires and Suspension. Each upgrade can be adjusted in the garage, making it possible to fine-tune your vehicle for the tracks on which you will race.
Buy: Choose the vehicle class (1-4) which also determines base price and base performance. Use your mouse or the arrow keys to choose from the vehicles in that class. Left-click or press ENTER to view that vehicle’s performance statistics. Use your mouse or the arrow keys to go to the Paintshop, where you can customize the color of the vehicle.
Left-click and hold on the red pointers on COLOR and SHADE to alter the paint color and color brightness of your prospective vehicle.
After you have accepted the paint job, click on PURCHASE and ACCEPT to buy the vehicle. Once you have, appropriate funds will be deducted from your account and the vehicle will be yours.
Sell: Do you need money? Are you unsatisfied with a vehicle? Sell a car back - for less than you bought it for, naturally.
• OPTIONS
VIDEO OPTIONS: Use your mouse or the arrow keys to adjust the settings for the following options:

Speedometer/Tachometer: The large dial in the lower right hand corner shows current engine RPM. The green digital readout under the tachometer shows your speed. The black digit in the white circle represents the gear you are currently using.
Checkpoint Timer: The large white number on the top center of the screen is the amount of time you have to get to the next checkpoint (on a linear track). Time is added when you pass a checkpoint.

Camera: You have a choice of several camera positions in and behind the car. Find an angle that you are comfortable with at the beginning of the race, and stick with it as you drive. Some practice will tell you what works best for you. Press C to alter the camera view of your vehicle; press X for a view of what is behind your vehicle.
ACCESSING CARS AND TRACKS
The first time you play Test Drive 6, about half of the tracks and vehicles are inaccessible. As you play and accomplish goals, cars and tracks will be made available to you.
You can access all the car and Tournament Classes by earning enough credits to advance from Class 1 through Class 4. You can gain access to tracks and cars for use in Practice by winning Tournaments.
