How to play Drag King

Drag King is a quarter-mile drag racing career. You race eight rivals one after another, earn prize money for each race, and spend it in the garage on engine, turbo, tyre, weight, gearbox and nitrous upgrades. Lose four races and the career is over.

Tips

  • On the start line, hold the gas so the needle stays in the yellow band. Too low and you bog down; too high and the tyres spin.
  • Shift when the needle reaches the green band near the red line. A perfect shift is quicker and gives the car a small kick.
  • Fire the nitrous in third gear, once the tyres have grip. Using it in first gear just spins the wheels.
  • Engine and tyres are the best early upgrades. Tyres matter more than they look, because grip off the line wins races.
  • Even a lost race pays 40% of the purse, so if a rival is too quick, upgrade and try again.
