---------------
1. Press C to insert a coin and start the countdown
2. The game begins with a 3-2-1 countdown
3. Use W or ↑ to accelerate and build speed
4. Steer with A/D or arrow keys to avoid traffic
BASIC DRIVING
-------------
→ Stay on the road for maximum speed (gray asphalt)
→ Avoid the grass - it slows you down significantly
→ Use rumble strips (red/white edges) carefully - they slow you slightly
SPEED MANAGEMENT
----------------
0-150 km/h : Normal acceleration, build up speed
150-200 km/h : Ready for nitro boost
200+ km/h : Boost mode activated - orange glow appears
NITRO ACTIVE : Purple speedometer, reach 350 km/h max!
OVERTAKING SYSTEM
-----------------
When you pass an AI car, you earn points:
1st overtake : +100 points
2nd overtake (within 3 seconds) : +200 points (x2 COMBO!)
3rd overtake (within 3 seconds) : +300 points (x3 COMBO!)
4th overtake (within 3 seconds) : +400 points (x4 COMBO!)
5th overtake (within 3 seconds) : +500 points (x5 COMBO!)
And so on...
PRO TIP: The combo timer resets to 3 seconds with each overtake, so keep
passing cars to maintain your multiplier!

→ Complete the entire race WITHOUT hitting any cars

PRO TIPS & STRATEGIES
================================================================================
BEGINNER TIPS
-------------
1. Practice steering - Get comfortable with the controls at low speeds
2. Stay centered - It's easier to dodge traffic from the middle lane
3. Don't over-steer - Small corrections are better than big ones
4. Watch the countdown - Don't run out of time!
INTERMEDIATE STRATEGIES
-----------------------
1. Save nitro for overtaking - Use boost when approaching a group of cars
2. Plan your path - Look ahead to see which lane is clearest
3. Use brake sparingly - Maintaining speed is key to high scores
4. Master the curves - The road curves automatically, adjust your steering
ADVANCED TECHNIQUES
-------------------
1. Combo chaining - Hunt for groups of cars to maximize multipliers
2. Perfect lap runs - Play defensively for the 5000-point bonus
3. Nitro timing - Activate boost on straightaways, not during curves
4. Speed management - Sometimes 250 km/h with control beats 350 km/h crashes
5. Grass recovery - If you hit grass, brake and steer back to road quickly
