about hitting any other cars. When you have had enough practice

screen.

When you click on the 'Single Race' button a page will be displayed

showing the currently selected track. Use either LEFT or RIGHT keys

or the << and >> buttons to select a track, Then push the 'Select'

button or the UP key to start racing.

3. Mini Grand Prix (Registered Only)

score board being held.

You score 2 points for coming first and 1 point for coming second.

At the end of all 10 races the winner is the one with the most points.

If at any time you quit out of the Palm Racer application you will be

given the option continue from the last race when you next

select 'Mini GP'.

4. Infrared Racing (Registered Only)

In this mode you can race head to head with someone else running

Palm Racer on their Palm Pilot.

To start this mode point each Palm Pilot at one another.

One of the players must then click the 'IR Race' button, This Palm

Pilot will then become the master and must select the track to race on.

The race will then start on both palm pilots.

In all four modes the game is played the same.

The Palm Pilot UP and DOWN keys will speed up and slow you down accordingly.

*Hint* Don't speed up and slow down at each corner, Set your speed

to a reasonable pace and only speed up and slow down when overtaking.

Go too fast and you will have to skid round all the corners.

will turn you car clockwise or anti-clockwise.
