It should warn you about the police cars.

Then what's the difference between the fist item(costs 4.000) and that radar?
Also I'd like to learn more about different tyres(mean their functions),if possible.Thanks.

This game is crap. Doesn´t worth the hours spent playing it. It´s ridiculous hard, after few races you find yourself furious ´cos you simply cannot save your progress whenever you need it and the PC auto saves it just after you loose an important race. I´ve got all races won in the 4o division, it´s absolutelly impossible doin any of the 3o. If you don´t win ALL races, you just haven´t enough money to keep playing, and as you need to win at least 4 races to save, imagine how absurd is the task. It´s of major importance buying the aditional speeds, I´ve got money only for the 5o one, the 6o costs 100,000 and if you intent to work out the 3o division, you ought buy it before doing the challenge race (which, by the way, is unbelievable easy...)
If anyone had actually finished this game, I would be glad to know how it ends, but I´m sure that no matter the fancy it would be, wont pay the efforts.
For those who are beginig it now, I strongly recommend: There are better, funnier, less stressful games you should try first.

In one word: It´s simply frustrating.

Haven't played in a while...
If I remember corectly the radar alowed you to find out about cops far in advanced.
Different tyres have different traction and the car performance will change if you switch them. Don't remember exactly which does what.

The different tyres make a HUGE difference to your traction!
and in snow levels they are vital.
I like to buy the speed increase and the 1st tyre upgrade fairly soon. This gives you a good competitive edge in the first few races so you can build some more cash.
The fifth gear gives you a much higher top speed and should also be high on you list of priority items.
...Thats all I can remember right now ...sorry

Sebatianos wrote that I could switch them,does it mean I can change my tyre during a race?If so which key Should I use?Thanks in advance.

How does this work? After taking the 1st place in the first race i always have to sell my lambo! I don't know why and how to play this game so that i can go on!?

Place some heavy bets before racing, then make sure you win...
I think the reward system of the game is absurd, even if you ended in 2nd place every time you'll go broke after a few races.

You cannot save, it happens periodically, usually after you beat the main event (the one with the oncoming trucks)
Slick tires are for rain (I think) and better road handling
Spike tires are for snow
The Night vision goggles are useless and don't do anything (except burn out your eyes)
The turbos are pointless except in the main event or big money events. Do not use the turbo on the very first race - use it on the snow (assuming you have spike tyres) one.
You cannot stop being overtaken when you first start a race, you must keep accelerating and you'll take them over.
The easiest and highest paying mission to go for is the one with the three lanes (first round, near top-left) it is a very, very fast track and turbos are not needed.
The main event on-coming trucks one is the hardest one of them all because damage is increased!
The black diablo does not increase speed, it just looks cool.
Bid twice or thrice but never more than that, always try to make the AI outbid you that way when you win you get tons of money!
Aim for FIRST every time, forget second or third - second is only good in snow or rainy conditions.

This should help!

I thought the black Lambo had a higher top speed. Not sure though...

This game reminds me of an old Amiga game called Crazy Cars III. Also made by Titus, and it looks nearly exactly the same. Except it's not about Lamborghini's.

Anyway, this game is pretty cool. First car race game I ever played (well, except maybe Lotus II). Classic, worth playing. (I love those character faces.)
