What the screen shows

Top centre of the windscreen: your run timer, with the mile counter under it. A square icon above it shows the direction of the next turn. Bottom right: speed in MPH. Bottom left: the key hint shown above, which sits on screen for the first part of a run.

In the lobby, a Records board lists the fastest finish times, and a side panel shows Contracts and Daily Tasks.

Tips

  • The key hint appears bottom left at the start of a run and fades later. Read it on the first mile.
  • Try Sim handling only after you finish Route 1610 on Arcade. The hint doesn't say which is the default, so check the setting on your first run.
  • Gamepad buttons weren't shown in any footage we checked, so we haven't listed any.
