INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Racer! Racer is a simulation project that has many areas for you to discover. It may be overwhelming a bit, so here is a jumpstart to the directions you can go.
Note that this page is a relatively new path of the Racer documentation, only started around january 2007. The idea is to learn Racer by means of tutorial pages, instead of people having to digest a working process from a bunch of reference guides.
AREAS TO DISCOVER
| Area | Description |
| Racer gameplay | How to start and control Racer; replays etc. |
| Obtaining more cars and tracks to drive | The download of Racer normally comes with only 1 car and 1 track. Where can you get more? |
