INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the world of Sprint Cars: Road to Knoxville, the total Sprint Car, 3/4 Midget and Open Wheel Modified racing experience. Race in six gameplay modes including an extensive multi season career mode. Play as a driver or as a team owner, or both, it's up to you how you want to earn your prestige and money.

Sprint Cars: Road to Knoxville offers you over 20 tracks from across the U.S including famous tracks such as Knoxville Raceway, Eldora Speedway, Dodge City Raceway Park, and Williams Grove Speedway. Your opponents will be tough but you can gain extra speed from them by drafting. Be careful though, if you're too aggressive you'll make enemies and it won't be easy to get around the track with a vengeful opponent resisting your attempts at drafting or blocking your race line.
HOW TO DRIVE IN THE DIRT
When you race on a dirt track you'll notice that it's much different than racing on a paved track. In dirt racing you actually want to spin out around the corners. This is known as a powerslide. The trick is to maintain control as you slide through the turns.
Using the break and the gas while you turn around the corners will allow you to control the slide. Practice racing in Rookie mode to get a feel for how to turn your car on several tracks. Short tracks, banked tracks and longer tracks offer different challenges. Learn to master each track to become a well rounded driver.
QUICK START GUIDE
The quickest way to get straight into the action in Sprint Cars: Road to Knoxville is to select Arcade mode and Single Race. Before you fire up your engine for the first time however you should take a look at the Tutorial found in Arcade mode.
The Tutorial offers a great overview of drafting, and mastering the powerslide turn. To access the Tutorial select Arcade from the Main Menu and Tutorial. Additional information about each of the menus is available in the Race section of this manual.
Once you've finished with the tutorial it's time to race. To start a single event race select Arcade and Single Race from the Main Menu. If you just want to practice select Arcade and Practice.
Next, choose the level of difficulty class from the Difficulty menu. From the Car Select menu choose the car class, model and skin you want. Select your track from the Track Select menu.
In a Single Race you can also select the Race Length and Race Format from this menu, while in Practice mode just the Time of Day can be selected. Choose your Control Setup. At the Race Format screen you can start your race, tune your car or skip a race. Select Race when you're ready to get behind the wheel.

STAGGER
Adjusting the Stagger changes the circumference and width of the car's right rear wheel in relation to the left rear wheel, affecting grip and turning ability. Increasing stagger increases grip and makes the car turn left more easily, while decreasing it increases speed and acceleration but reduces grip.
SPACING
Changing the Spacing adjusts the distance of the right rear wheel from the chassis, improving turning ability on flatter tracks. Larger spacing increases stability but slightly decreases top speed on straightaways.
TRAVEL
Travel determines the range of movement of the wheel, changing how high the car sits and its center of gravity. Increasing front travel puts more weight on the rear, optimal for tracks with less traction, while lowering it increases stability on tracks with more grip or higher banking.
SHOCKS
Shocks determine body roll and pressure applied to the tires in turns and acceleration, with individual adjustments for compression and rebound rates. Softer shocks on the right side can shift weight and increase traction in turns, especially on flatter tracks.
SPRING
The Spring changes how the car responds to bumps and affects body roll and tire pressure in turns and acceleration. A higher Spring makes the car sit flatter in sharp turns but bounces more on bumpy tracks, while a lower setting provides a smoother ride but less traction.
GEARS
The Gears setting determines the speed and engine braking of your car; a lower number means higher speed and less engine braking, while a higher number means lower speed but more engine braking. Optimize settings so the engine RPM is at the red line stage when reaching the turn point.
WEIGHT
Weight distribution affects car handling while turning; more weight on the rear increases acceleration but makes steering challenging, and more weight on the right side makes the car want to turn right. On flatter tracks with less traction, more weight on the right and front helps the car roll toward the right rear when turning.
TIRE PRESSURE
Tire pressure adjustments are a trade-off between traction and speed; lower air pressure provides better traction but increases tire wear. On tracks with higher banking, higher pressure on the right rear tire can be used, while on flatter tracks, less pressure on the right rear helps power through turns.
