Your first day

The garage
The garage: every place is a button round your car

You start with $10,000 (on Normal) and no car.

  1. Car dealers (garage, bottom left): drive to a lot, pick a car, BUY IT. Or look in the Newspaper for private sellers.
  2. Gas station: fill the tank. Fuel and oil carry over between races.
  3. Go race!: pick a diner and challenge someone, or enter an invitation.
  4. Back in the garage, spend your winnings on parts.
