Right guys. What's the best settings for this? How do you play it? I need some help figuring out the rules as I know nothing about this game.

Important factors that has to be taken under consideration:
1. What car do you use? 2. On which track do we race (Master, Europe, USA)? |

Also, against the clock or computer? What skill level? I really don't get this game at all. How do I go in the 'gas' station? Why do I feel the urge to shoot myself in the head whilst playing?

I think vs CPU is more fun. But if its scoring system isn't suited for our competition then vs clock's surely will be.

So what are the settings/rules we need to use? What defines the score? I plan to do a "first" play for my YouTube channel for each of the games through out 2013... I doubt my actual final score will be in the video... I will add a link to the compo thread for each video!

Professional slacker!

Does it show average speed for sector? IIRC it does and this is a good test of skill

I would go for the clock ;-)

If I had to choose the settings I would go for: - Level of difficulty = fourth from the left (the last one with automatic gear) - Track = all three and we add up the score - Car = anyone you like. The tactic is to choose the one with which people could make a higher score. |

Due to dissent I've decided to change it to these settings.
- Master cars and Master scenery only - Highest difficulty setting - Against the clock This is final. |

Thanks Graham, I knew you'd be flexible on this . Over at lemon I think we were fine about master disk and cars etc, it was just the difficulty really (which may have been open to abuse otherwise). Dissent? certainly heated debate.
This game can be tricky but it's a lot more playable in NTSC mode / 60fps. For all the playing tips I've discovered, check out my guide on the lemon thread: www.lemonamiga.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10779 Last edited by lifeschool; 21 January 2013 at 20:25. |

Not too bad for a first play, I havent played this since 20 years, and it still contains the same old weirdnesses... Edit: Racing only one course set feels a bit short, but thats the way it is it now. Last edited by Harry; 21 January 2013 at 22:56. |

So, er, is anyone else from EAB actually going to enter? I will this weekend. But the current ratio of 10 Lemon players to 1 EAB is a little worrying.
