Race Mode Display - Displays the race mode (Championship Race or Single Race) that you selected using the Selector Dial.

Damage Meter - Displays how badly your car is dam- aged. Bars are added with each collision you have. You must make a pit stop to have the damage repaired before the Damage Meter is full, otherwise the damage will be irreparable and the race will be over.

Car Damage Display - Displays where damage has occurred on your car.

Steering Wheel Display - A single bar displays the posi- tion of your Steering Wheel.

Speed Display - Displays the speed at which you are driving.

RPM Display - Displays how fast your engine is revving. Each bar represents 1000 RPM (Revolutions Per Minute). If you are in the Manual Transmission (MT) Mode and allow your RPMs to remain in the red area too long before shifting to a higher gear, engine damage will occur.

Gear Shift Display - Displays the gear in which you are currently driving. Once you have reached the maximum speed or dropped below the speed range for the gear in which you are driving, the display will prompt you to shift by flashing on the appropriate gear.

Fuel Gauge - Displays how much fuel remains in your car. Each race takes 1.5 tanks of fuel to complete. If your fuel gets too low the bottom bar will flash, warning you to make a pit stop as soon as possible. If you run out of fuel before making a pit stop, the race will be over.

Transmission Selection Display - Displays MT (Manual Transmission) or AT (Automatic Transmission) depending on the mode that you select prior to the start of the race.

Time / Points Display - Displays the total time of the race, from start to finish. It will also display the best lap time and total points earned in the Championship Race mode, when the Selector Dial on the Hand Unit is set to Time / Points Display. To toggle between time and points, press the A (Accelerator / On / Enter) button on the hand unit.
