Game Rules:
your are racing in the world's crazyest race: The American Cross Country Prestige Cars Race. Thsi race is in three stages throughout the United States : Arizona, Space Shuttle and Florida. If you are able to do those three Challenges before the time runs out, you will get a faster car. You start with a Mercedes 560, then a Porsch 911. Better than average drivers may drive a ferrari GTO.

While racing, be careful not to collide with other cars near you, each collision will slow your car down and cause you to lose time. Once you have passed a car, be careful to mantain your speed and not allow the cars behind you to collide with you.

Crazy Cars was created as realistic as possible, therfore you must be careful not to lose control of you car especially when you are jumping or cornering.

If you go off the track, your speed will decrease very quickly and your chances of beating the clock will be greatly decreased. Hitting bumps at high speeds will cause your car to fly through the air, but this can be used to pass a car.

To win a stage you have to go through the finish line before the time reaches zero. When the time runs out, the engine stopsbut you will coast as far as your can and if you go through the line, the judges might let you win.
