 - Crew Battle: Take on the best drivers CSRacing has to offer. There are three crews to beat, with each crew having 3 members. Crews will only race you if you use a car from their respective tier, so you'll need to save up your Cr. to buy cars- but the rewards are worth it. (For more info, see section 6)

+- Car Specific: A true test of car mastery. There is 1 race for each of the 30 cars- you need the car with the same CIN (Car Identifier Number) as the race number to be allowed entry- race #1 requires car #1 (Sivic Si), race #2 requires car #2 (Oxiti Increceba), and so on and so forth for all 30 races. You'll need to own all 30 cars the game in order to complete this mode. (Refer to section 7 to see cars listed by their CIN.)
+   -- Beating a race in Car Specific mode will drop the price of creating a custom car by 3000 Credits per race, and beating all 30 races drops the price of car creation to 10000 Cr. Why? The guys over at R&D say seeing all these cars race helps lower development costs.

+ - Create Car: Once you progress past a certain point in the game, you can come here to create a new car from scratch. 
+   -- The initial cost of creating a car is 100000 Cr. per car- You can lower development costs substantially by winning Car Specific races as previously mentioned in section 3.
+   -- Cars you create will dissappear once you switch to another car- If you want to save your creations, back up the list named "CAR" and String Variable Str1 to your computer. Once you've backed them up, you can also share your custom cars with your friends by sending them these variables.
+   -- To load or restore a custom car, just send the files that contain the custom car data (namely CAR.8xl and Str1.8xs) to your calculator. They will appear in game when you next launch CSRACING. 
 
 
 5. TIPS & TRICKS
 
  - Good launches will earn you an extra 5 Cr, and Perfect launches will net you 10 extra Cr.
  - The key to the best shifts is to shift up the same frame the max speed in the current gear is reached- nailing the timing will let you constantly accelerate.
+ - Upgrades scale in cost based on the tier of the car you're upgrading- Tier 1 cars are the cheapest cars to upgrade, and Tier 3 cars are the most expensive to upgrade due to their exotic nature.
  - Upgrades offer a noticeable performance boost, but buying faster cars is eventually necessary to stay competitive.
- - Regulation races are a great way to earn Cr. - Just make sure to keep the difficulty at a level you can handle.
- - There are (planned to be, the game is not done yet) 30 cars in total- can you collect them all?

 8. DEVELOPER'S NOTES & TECHNICALITIES:
 
  - This game was developed on a TI-84 Plus with a non-mathprint OS installed. Users with OS version 2.53MP or higher should enable CLASSIC mode for the best speed & compatibility.
- - While CSR Garage can only be accessed on a TI-84 Plus, the base game, CSRACING.8xp, will work on a TI-83 Plus as it does not use TI-OS time. Please note that TI-83+ users will only be able to use the Sivic Si as a result.
+ - While CSR Garage can only be accessed on a TI-84 Plus, the base game, CSRACING.8xp, should work on a TI-83 Plus as it does not use TI-OS time. Please note that TI-83 Plus users will only be able to use the Sivic Si as a result.
  - The cars in this game have the same gear ratios and top speeds of their real world counterparts (The names are a bit different here due to copyright, but I'm sure you can figure out what cars they represent via the Developer's Documentation in the extras folder.)
+ - Cars with electronically limited top speeds in the real world (i.e. 155 MPH) have their limiters removed here.
  - Races take a couple seconds to start due to how slow the Shade( command is at drawing.
  - If you get ERR: UNDEFINED after the title screen, it's likely because you deleted Str1. To fix this, launch CSRGARAG.8xp and switch to any car.
+ - If List CAR is missing for whatever reason when launching CSRACING, the game will load the Sivic Si. Please note that this will reset that car's upgrade level to stock. If you lose List CAR and don't want your Sivic Si's upgrades reset, launch CSRGARAG instead of CSRACING and switch to any car.
