INTRODUCTION | ||
Speedway is a game of high-speed racing. You'll tear down the road, competing against yourself or a compter-controlled opponent, and matching scores with other players around the world. Computer controlled cars will keep you on your toes as you take the turns.

GETTING STARTED | ||
When you first run Speedway, you'll be prompted for an initial detail setting. The detail setting determines how much media to load to run Speedway, as well as what quality this media will be. These options may be changed at any time during gameplay. The initial options are as follows: HIGH : All media, sound effects, music, and special effects will be loaded. MEDIUM : All media, sound effects, music, will be loaded, but graphics will be lower in detail, and there will be fewer special effects. LOW : All media and sound effects will be loaded. Graphics will be highly compressed, music will not be loaded, and no special effects will be used. BARE : Only the lowest detail graphics will be loaded. No sound, music, or special effects will be used. After selecting an initial option, Speedway will begin to stream in the media, and will present you with a title screen after a few seconds.

SELECTING A CAR | ||
After choosing Time Trials or Match Trials from the Main Menu, you'll be presented with the Car Selection screen. The available cars will be displayed in a revolving ring. Press the left and right arrow buttons to cycle through the cars. Each car's specific properties and name will be displayed when you bring it to the front. Each car handles differently, so try them all! When you've decided upon a car, simply click Accept. You will now be prompted to select a track.

SELECTING A TRACK | ||
After selecting your car, you'll be presented with the Track Selection screen. A picture of the currently selected track will be displayed. Press the left and right arrow buttons to cycle through the tracks(Only one in download version). When you've decided upon a track, click 'Accept' and wait while the race loads.

||
RACING | ||
Racing is very straightforward in Speedway. Each race consists of two laps around the track. At the beginning of the race a starting light will cycle from red to green - when the light reaches green, you're off! Use the up arrow to accelerate, the down arrow to brake, and the left and right arrows to turn.
|
||
RACING TIPS | ||
Don't accelerate through the curves - make sure to let up on the gas. Braking while turning causes the handbrake to be used. The handbrake is very effective for executing tight turns at high speeds, but can take some practice to get used to. The space bar acts as a panic button - if you get hopelessly off course, press the space bar to be sent back to the road and pointed in the right direction. You will lose all your speed when you use the panic button, and will have to accelerate from a dead stop.
