o Why is there only one track?
This is only a demo, to play another 9 tracks look out
for the full version of Redline Racer in a store near
you trought March '98.

You can access on-line help by running the game and
pressing F1 at any time in the menus. A dialog box will
appear asking if you are sure, just click 'OK' and the
help will appear in your current web browser.
o How do I change my name?

game will not ask you again. If you wish to change your
name in the game go to 'Configure' in the main menu,
and select 'name' to re-enter your name.
o The game runs slowly on my machine what do I do?
The game will run more quickly if the graphics options
are changed. In particular the lower you can set
'Geometry Detail','Texture Detail','View Distance' and
'Field of View' the faster the game will run. See the
online help for more details.
