Controls: Watch the Christmas tree lights. On GREEN, hold/release gas to launch. Up/W or SHIFT button to shift at green RPM zone. Space or N₂O for nitrous. B or BURN for burnout at staging.
Perfect Shift: Shift when RPM is in GREEN band (6200-7300) for speed bonus. Early shift = bog. Late shift = engine damage.
Burnout: Before staging, hold burnout to heat tires (better launch grip). Too much = wear tires.
Reaction Time: Green light = GO. Jump early = FOUL (DQ). Perfect RT < 0.05s.
Bracket Tournament: 8 rounds. Win = upgrade points. Best of 1 each round. Upgrade Engine, Tires, or Nitrous between rounds.
