Drag Race

Third-person quarter-mile (402 m) drag racing. You against a career ladder of six AI drivers on a floodlit strip — first across the stripe wins, timeslip and all.

How a run works

1. ENTER to stage. The car creeps to the beam; the tree lights top-down.
2. Rev with SPACE while staged — the tach shows your launch band in green.
3. When the ambers cascade, release — throttle during the ambers is a red light (instant DQ).
4. Launch on GREEN: press and hold SPACE. In the band you hook; too low bogs, too high smokes the tires.
5. Shift near redline with UP (or RIGHT-SHIFT), DOWN to downshift. Hold a gear past the limiter and the engine takes damage — keep banging it and it lets go.
6. Timeslip at the stripe: reaction, 60 ft, 1/8-mile, ET, trap speed.

Modes
