If the information you provided is correct, you will enter the racing track you selected. This is where all the racers meet up to race and chat. If you entered the track and a race is currently in progress, you will view this current race until it is finished. If no current race is in progress, you will come up to the chat screen.

The chat screen lets you chat with the other racers currently connected to the same track as you are. It also lets you enter the racing queue. As a single race can only hold a limited number of racers at any given time, a racing queue is set up to allow racers to join the race in a queued manner, where first in racers will race first. The number of racers that are waiting in queue that can actually get to race depend on the track. Some tracks allow for more simultaneous racers than others. Also, the first three positioned racers in the previous race get to race again if they want to, without having to wait in the racing queue for their turn.

You join the racing queue by pressing the flag-icon button in the chat screen. If you just want to view the race, either don't press this button, or press it again to leave the queue. A message from the track server will notify you of your current status.

If you press the ? Button, or type /help in the chat screen, you will be presented with the available chat commands. Chat commands allow you to manage certain aspects of the game that are not available through the graphical user interface, such as be able to ask about a certain racer online status or your current queue position, or send private messages to other players.

Before a race begins, the chat screen will periodically show the next race players. If you are among them, you will also be notified with a message in the chat screen.

Once you get your turn to race, and the race begins, you will be positioned in the start grid. When the green light turns on, you can use the controls to maneuver the vehicle.

On iPhone 3G and iPod Touch, you steer the vehicle by tilting the device side-ways. The STOP button triggers breaking, CAM button changes camera view, AUTO button toggles auto-acceleration on or off, GAS button accelerates (if auto-acceleration is off), and the SPRINT button triggers the vehicle Sprint function.

The Sprint function, when triggered, boosts your speed for a specific short period of time. Once it has been used it needs to be reloaded to be able to use it again. Loading takes some time, so you can't be sprinting all the time, and so you have to decide when sprinting your vehicle can be most beneficial for your race performance.

Racing is simple. The racer who completes first the preset number of laps wins the the race. The first three positions get to race again if they wish. Different racers will get point awards depending on the final race position. Point awards are also granted to racers who get least damage on the vehicle for the entire race, record a fast lap for the race, or does a best progression from starting position to final race position. Additional points are awarded for the best racer, which is computed considering the overall points achieved by each racer.

If the number of racers when the race starts is under a minimum value (usually 10), the race is in practice mode. Practice mode races do not sum points for the running racers, and robots players may be added to the race.

Certain tracks may have Sprint Sections, which are marked on the the track with a different color, and usually are arrow-shaped. Special devices underneath the concrete of the track allow the bike to hold on more firmly to it, and allow you to boost your speed. Some tracks also have different paths to get to the same place, some paths have sprint sections, some don't. So depending on your choice, usage of Sprint sections, vehicle Sprint function and your driving style you may be able to get to advance your opponents more easily! So, depending on the circuit, you have to discover which path to take that more suits your driving style in order to win the race. Getting to know the circuit is vital to success.
