Part 2: The tracks
In Rage Racer there are four tracks and here there is their description
All the tracks share the same start/finish straight along with a steep
climb past a massive waterfall. The straight has a glass canopy housing
the line, which is illuminated at night, along with a large stone
archway, similar to the Arc de Triomphe
Mystical Coast: 4641m/2,88miles
After passing the waterfall, a straight tunnel leads to a steep drop
down to the coast. The road runs along the coast, past Mediterranean
style houses and a chapel. Climbing back inland past ancient ruins, a
hairpin leads back to the main straight through and curving tunnel
Over Pass City: 6640m/4,12miles
The longest track is also the most spectacular. The first tunnel of the
Mythical Coast track is partially blocked off and the road is taken away
to the right, down a winding route before opening up at the base of the
largest climb in the game. Past a working tram and various buildings the
road finally reaches the summit and falls slowly through more tunnels,
and winding corners. After passing over a hillside bridge, a steep drop
leads under a bridge, past a lighthouse, then winds round to past over
itself before rejoining the start/section
Lakeside Gate: 6237m/3,88miles
Although shorter than Over Pass City, this has some beautiful scenery to
admire. Now leading left from that initial tunnel, the route is laden
with hills, tunnels and tight corners, along with a cable car passing
overhead. The main attraction though is when the road opens up by a
lake, which reflects the surrounding objects. After passing around the
lakeside, you cross a bridge, and drive through a woodland scene, before
a tight hairpin leads back to the main straight
The Extreme Oval: 3074m/1,91miles
This simply consists of a loop which connects the two ends of the main
straight. There is one long tunnel and banked corners.
Part 3: The cars
Here there are the complete explanation of the customize menu, car and engineer
menus and obviusly the cars :)
Customize menu: here you can set the tire grip (from Grip to Drift), the
transmission (Automatic Transmission [AT] or Manual Transmission
[MT]) and the design of the car, from the team logo and name to
paint color
Customize menu, tire: here you can modify the grip of a car. From Grip to Drift.
If you set to “Grip”, it will be harder to drift and
setting to “Drift” the effect is the opposite. The
settings are five:
100% = 100% Grip/0% Drift
75% = 75% Grip/25% Drift
50% = 50% Grip/50% Drift
25% = 25% Grip/75% Drift
0% = 0% Grip/100% Drift
Customize menu, transmission: here you can change from [AT] and [MT]. The
Automatic Transmission is recommended for
beginners, but many cars have only the
Manual Transmission. The Manual Transmission is
recommended for the experts. With the [MT], you
can use a glitch called “Speed Glitch”
Customize menu, design: here you can change the team logo and name and change
the color of your car
Team Logo: you can load a sample or paint one. The
samples are twenty characters and twnety

max holding also the brake (Square in preset configuration) and when you go,
