How to Start Playing Ash Racing
This file contains a brief outline of how to play Ash Racing. It just covers the essentials in an effort to get you off the ground.
1) Buy a Car
The first thing you will need to do in the game is purchase a car. To do so, click on car dealerships in the city section of the side navigation bar. From there you will need to choose a make of car. Once you are on a dealership screen you will be able to choose your desired model and color. Since you are just beginning you will not be able to afford many types of cars, but as you progress more will come within your reach. You may need to try a few different dealerships before you find a car you can afford.
2) Buy Aftermarket Parts
Now that you have a car, you'll need to make it faster. When you click part store in the city section of the side navigation bar you will be brought to a page allowing you to choose which section you wish to enhance. Choose your system, and then on the next page choose the part in that system you wish to enhance. A list of replacements for that particular part will be displayed on the screen. Choose a part you can afford and click buy. It doesn't matter if you don't understand exactly what you're buying - the point is that when you install it it will improve your car's performance.
To view the parts that you have purchased click your parts under the garage section of the side navigation bar.
3) Install Your Parts
Now that you have purchased some parts you need to have your technician install the parts on your car. To do this you will need to go to your parts under the garage heading in the side navigation bar. Choose your desired section by clicking on it. The next page will allow you to select the parts you wish to install. Once you've clicked install it will let you know how long the installation will take. Please note that you can do multiple installations/uninstallations at the same time.
Now that the technician is working on your car click on the cars section under the garage heading in your sidebar. Notice that there is a wrench displayed next to your car - that means it's being worked on. You will not be able to race a car while your technician is working on it. If you schedule a race and then start your technician working you will forfeit the race and lose your bet money. It is your responsibility to see that your car is ready for race time.
4) Race Somebody
The first step here is to decide which track you want to race on. To do so, click tracks in the side navigation bar and browse around. You will want to choose a track that complements your cars fortes. If your car has excellent acceleration but poor handling, choose a track with long straightaways and no sharp turns.
Now that you've chosen which track you want, you will need to find somebody to race. To do so, click challenges in the side navigation bar. At the bottom you may search for a user by car. To decide which kind of car you want to race you may want to visit the car dealerships in town to see how fast they are - you don't want to start off racing against Ferarris!
When you find a user to race, click on challenges in the sidebar. You may now start a challenge by entering the username of the person you wish to challenge. Clicking continue will bring up a form where you can choose your car, your opponents car, the track, and the bet. You may then submit the challenge. When the user logs in to their account they will see that you have challenged them, and they can either accept the challenge or refuse it. If they refuse the challenge you are refunded your bet and the track fee. If they accept the challenge your race will take place half an hour from the time of acceptance. It is adviseable to challenge a number of users at the same time so that you may race more users faster.
When your race takes place the Ash Racing simulator will decide the winner and post in your news who won. It will also credit the winner with the bet money. To check your news click your news under the garage heading in your sidebar. When you log in to Ash Racing this is the first page you see.
Making Money
You will obviously need a good bit of money to improve your car. This money comes from a number of places. First off, you receive a salary of C$200 every day. You also can earn money by betting on your races. There is a third way to make money, which is betting on the races of others. To do so, click on schedule in the track section of the sidebar, and then go to race schedule. You will be provided with a list of races taking place in the next half hour, and you can get in on their bets. To bet on a certain participant simply click the bet link beside their name. When the race takes place an item will be posted to your news on the outcome. Please remember that although one car may appear dominant, the lesser-looking car may be enhanced to the point where it can beat some of the fastest cars. Paying attention to the race results listed on the race schedule page can earn you some insight into just how fast some of the cars actually are, and help you to better guage your bet when they show up on the schedule again.
Selling Your Car and Parts
There will likely come a point in the game where you wish to upgrade your car or a part on your car. The part store and the car dealership list in the city both have used buy-back options which allow you to sell back your used cars and parts at a slight loss.
That's it!
Although it may seem complicated at first, playing this game will become second nature in no time at all. I hope you enjoy it!
