5. If a driver fails to travel the circuit in less than 10 seconds 'Failed to qualify' is heard.
6. The fastest car and driver claims 'Pole Position'.
RACE MODE
1. Number of lops are selected (20, 40 or 60).
2. To commence a race the start button is pressed, LED's flash and when they become constant that, together with the sound or a horn, is the signal for the race to start.
3. As each car completes a lap a doppler sound effect is heard.
4. As the leader starts the last lap a horn and doppler sound are heard which signals to the driver that they are on the last lap. 5 The first car to complete the designated laps receives a crowd roar with the doppler effect once more plus the respective LED will start to flash symbolising the winners lane.
