Formation lap is almost over, as you push gently on the throttle and brutally steer one last time from left to right, trying to mantain a high temperature on your wheels. You know it's the key to get through the first corner as fast as you can. Probably it will allow you to make a good start and overtake the two cars behind you. They already reached their starting spots. It's time to lift up gas pedal and focus on that yellow line on your grid spot. While gently applying pressure on the brake pedal, you try to gain every millimeter the regulation permits, and place your front wing perfectly lined up with the white line defining your starting position. Now you are pushing the paddles on the bottom part of your steering wheel, disengaging the clutch. Shift from 2nd to 1st gear. The car is still. First red light of the traffic light turns on. You did this already, you know how to do it. Your right foot pushes gently gas pedal. Second red light is on, rpm hits the limiter. Third red light is on. The engine now howles loud, while you try to find the right rpms for a perfect start. Four red light is on. The heat distortion waves of the cars behind you suggest all drivers are ready for the fight. Fifth red light is on. A fast glance to the steering wheel display. Everything is ok. Lights are out... *Game Features* -20 customizable cars; -15 REAL circuits from all over the world; -Exciting AI for great challenges! -5 different tyres type for different handling; -Real TIme Damages; -Team Radio; - ...And a lot more!
