Editing New Player Startup (section)

== Tutorial ==
Launch your tutorial by clicking the '''Tutorials''' button in the game client. (Even though the button says '''Tutorials''', there is only one.)  This will take you to the in-game interface, centered on your car. Follow the instructions literally to proceed forward. If you are stuck on a particular tutorial step, repeat what you're asked to do making sure to use the keys specified in the tutorial balloon.  Here's a hint; you can run the tutorial as often as you like!  Run it a second time to just drive around a bit and get used to the controls.  You only get the prize money the first time through though.

Notice that the global lobby chat remains available on the top of the screen. This panel's content is controlled by the buttons directly under it: "Lobby" shows the global chat, "Events" shows the event log for the current game, while the "Team" button shows the private chat of the event you're in.

Now you've managed the basics of the game, there is still some information that you may find useful for more prolonged combats:
* hovering with the mouse on a car shows is "demoralized" status. Demoralized cars may continue fighting, when all the enemy's or your cars are demoralized the combat ends.
* during an event, hit F2, F3, and F4 to change what is displayed over vehicles. F2 cycles through several pieces of information on the first line. F3 cycles through those same pieces of information on the second line, and F4 cycles through them on the third line.
* you can resign via the menu available on the top right of the in-game screen or you can resign a particular car by right-clicking on that car.
* you can reload weapons via right clicking on the car that has a weapon to be reloaded

When you return to the Lobby, look for an event that is starting soon.  In-town events are [[Race|Races]], [[Death Race|Death Races]], and [[Arena Combat|Arena Combats]], or their League equivalents.
