documentation for lightspeeder

by damien sadler

you don't have to read this document, however it sets the scene for the car you are about to drive.
this document is all imaginary; to know what this car is like you've got to try and imagine actually being in it; i'd love to be in this puppy!

the title says it all: lightspeeder. even though it may not travel at the speed of light, it definitely is the fastest car i've seen on the track. however, you have to be careful; in any ordinary driving situation, the faster you drive, the harder it is to break. well this is the same. also with steering, the faster you go, the more out of control you become. you may crash. it may be good on hard turns, but easy turns you'd better watch out for the speed.

the car
you are sitting in a luxury car, with leather seating, and all the controls. however, your horn is an electric bell.

safety and security
you are secured by a seatbelt, a front bar and a shoulder harness, as if you were on a rollercoaster; you will need it!

driving your car:
you use the same keys as you would with any other topspeed vehicle, this section just describes your car's movement ...
when you start driving, your car will move forwards as usual; you will feel it more than you would an ordinary car. however the faster you go, the more it will lean forwards, as if about to topple over. if you were to crash in this puppy in reality, you'd instantly be dead! that's the power of this vehicle.
try this with the hardest track i've made; i don't know whether you'll win ... well, you'll probably win the rest of them because they'll keep crashing, but you will be bumped around a lot!

the car's engine:
the car has a powerful engine that doesn't really sound like a car. this is because it's a specially designed engine to handle a lot of speed.
the engine spins at approximately 360 rpm when idle and approximately 1920 rpm at full speed.
it doesn't have a gear lever; the engine is powerful enough to handle the full force.

while you're driving
while you are driving this vehicle, you will hear the wind as you get faster and faster. watch out for steering and braking; it won't come easy the faster you get, especially the brakes. the faster you go, the harder it is to stop the car moving. just like the faster you run, the longer it takes to slow down. if you wanted, you could just let go of your driving key!

final notes:
do not use this car illegally! do not use it on normal roads, motorways, junctions, roundabouts, only on racing tracks. just show them what you're made of in your snazzy fancy 21st-century vehicle. can you even call it a car? don't think so ... it's the start of a new era for the racing world ...

good luck.

that's 150000 please!

ching-ching, thank you sir ... madam ... whoever you are ... drive off and have fun!
