And You're Under Way!

   ...And You're Under Way!

You rank 28th in a pack of 40 surging, screaming machines, all vying for the lead position. Just ahead and to your left, Car 16 takes a glancing hit from behind and spins wildly. You dodge just in time to avoid a pileup, but two other drivers aren't so lucky.... With seven laps to go, you downshift just before the entrance to the hairpin before the Start/Finish line, but you've come in too fast. Tires scream as the g-forces pull your car to the right, and the wall looms close. All you can do is hang on and pray that you squeeze by at 200 miles an hour, kissing the wall is not something you want to do....

Daytona USA brings the excitement of stock car racing action from the arcade to the armchair! Play the Arcade version of the game, or check out the extra options in Sega's special PC mode.

Strap yourself in behind the controls, and get ready to race!


      Circuit Description

Beginner

This is a smooth, fast course that can be driven mostly at flat-out speeds. The final hairpin before the Start/Finish line can make or break your race. This is also the only course where you begin the race from a rolling start. Fight your way from last place to first!

Advanced

Rolling terrain, high walls and a long tunnel reduce the visibility of this course and make the sharpness of the turns less predictable. Pre-race practice is recommended.

Expert

Converted from city streets and highways, this course takes on a whole new dimension when racing. Sharp hairpin curves, varied course widths and low visibility make competing on this circuit a real challenge.

5-0 The Finish Line


     Entering Your Initials

The times and initials of the top 20 drivers appear on the Ranking and Title screens. There are two ways to get your name listed: by scoring the fastest overall time or the fastest single lap. You don’t have to finish a race to make a fastest lap. If you made both a fastest lap and a fastest overall time, you only enter your initials once, They will appear on both records.

If you burned in a record-setting time, the Enter Initials screen appears after you finish your race. Press the Selection Button LEFT or RIGHT to cycle through the letters, and press the Confirm Button to enter a letter in the first space and continue to the next. To go back a space, press the Cancel Button, or select the arrow and press the Confirm Button.

Exit the Enter Initials screen by pressing the Skip Button, by making entries in all three spaces, or by selecting END and pressing the Confirm Button.


 Tips from the Top Three

Control, rather than flat-out speed, gives you the fastest lap times.

Hitting or rubbing against the wall robs you of precious seconds more than anything else.

Keep your car moving in a uniform direction, with smooth, even lange changes and turns. Watch the other cars at first and learn the best places to enter and exit each corner.

Take advantage of the Time Attack Mode to familiarize yourself with every aspect of a circuit.

If you are using a Sega Saturn Control Pad or PC Pad, keep a light touch on the D-Pad. Unnecessary swerving costs valuable time, and if you're using a manual transmission, you increase your chances of shifting into the wrong gear by accidentally pressing the D-Pad UP or DOWN.
