[X] or [N] = turbo (only when the needle reaches the turbo line on the far right. You'll get a notification 'X/N' and beep to press that key)

TRIVIA

Released in June 2013.

Unlike its predecessor, the stages aren't spread (like in Racing Hero). They're now progressive - stage 1; 2; 3... up to stage 16.

The upgrades are now paid instead of completed by scoring achievements.

The car driven by the player has a hard top and is a part of traffic on later stages.

TIPS AND TRICKS

* Score a turbo start: press [W] or [UP ARROW] after '1' (just before 'GO!') in countdown.
* Unlock colors: hit traffic.
* Don't drive a camper van: you'll unlock it after you collect all the colors, but given the height you'll see nothing on the road, hitting either roadside obstacles (barriers or other) or traffic.
* Earn maximum cash by ending a stage with a gold star. When you get a silver or bronze one, repeat the stage after upgrading the car.
* The rain doesn't affect the handling.
* Look at the upper area of the game screen: it shows arrows. Prepare to
slow down (when necessary) when the arrow is right-angled.
