How to Play: The key to this game is to earn sufficient virtual income by achieving high finishing positions in order to progress to the next stage of each challenge (‘Class’). New racing circuits and F1 race cars of different designs and eras can then be unlocked. ‘Class 1’ mode has 3 race tracks, and a fast, stable car – ideal for a newcomer. ‘Class 2’ mode has 4 race circuits and a faster, sleeker car. Finally, ‘Class 3’ has 5 race circuits and the fastest possible F1 car.

Before each race begins, you must choose your car, race track, engine type, tire type, and car color (use your computer mouse or touchpad to toggle through these items.) At the start of the face, you are at the back of the field of 32 cars. Your goal is to finish as high up the positioning as you can. Use the Arrow Keys on your computer keyboard to control your car - Up Arrow = Accelerate; Down Arrow = Reverse; Left and Right Arrows = Steer (Alternatively you can use the WASD Keys). When your Boost Bar in the bottom right corner of the game screen is filled up – hit Spacebar to activate the booster.
