Why can't I race? I keep getting errors?
Hey thanks for being a speed racer. Sorry for the delay in response. We've been working hard to keep our servers up so you can keep racing. Please understand that the MySpace platform is still in Beta, so sometimes we have no control over the MySpace errors.
If I trade in a more expensive car for a less expensive car do I lose the extra points?
No, you raced hard for those points. :) If you trade in a more expensive car for a less expensive car, the extra points will be added back to your point balance.
How do I trade in my car for another one?
Go the the "Trade In Car" tab in the Speed Racing application. Next to each car you will see either a "Buy" button or "Insufficient Balance" notification. To trade up click on the "Buy" button. If you want to see how many more points you need to upgrade to a specific car, look at the "Your cost after trade in" value next to any car that shows "Insufficient Balance".
If I have upgrades to my car and I trade in my car, do I lose my upgrades?
Yes. When you trade in your car, any upgrades you have on your car will have to be repurchased. However, you do get some credit added to your trade in value for any upgrades you may have added to the car you trade in.
What's the difference between point balance and race winnings?
Point balance is the current number of points you have that can be applied to upgrades or trading in your car. Race winnings are the total number of points you have accummulated over time for all the races you have participated in.
Why do I lose my race when I have more horsepower than the person I'm racing?
As with any race, the outcome of a race is affected by many factors, not just horsepower.
My car isn't loading. What's going on?
This is either a result of your web browser storing an old version of our files in its cache, or MySpace is having problems.
First, please try clearing your browser's cache.
On Internet Explorer 7, go to Tools -> Delete Browsing History and then click on the "Delete files..." button. Then, restart your browser.
On Firefox, go to Tools -> Clear Private Data. Make sure that the "Cache" checkbox is checked, and click "Clear Private Data Now".
On Safari, go to Edit -> Empty Cache. Click on "Empty" when a prompt pops up.
If that didn't resolve the problem, then MySpace is making updates behind-the-scenes to their Developer Platform. Sometimes, these changes temporarily disrupt the Speed Racing application. Please try again later - Speed Racing should load just fine once the udpates are complete!
How come my Speed Racing application doesn't show up on my MySpace account "Home" or "Profile" page?
Go to Home -> Manage Apps (on the left-hand column), and then hit Settings for Speed Racing. Make sure that all of your checkboxes are checked!

What is touring?
Touring is a new feature which allows you to travel to different cities around the world to compete in tours with your own team. In order to do certain tours, you will have to meet a certain set of requirements. You will earn points, gain exp (short for experience), and possibly earn upgrades for your car when you successfully do and complete tours.
What is my team for?
You need a team to help you complete tours. Some tours require more team members than others. In addition, each team member helps increase your odds of successfully doing a tour. Add as many team members as you can to improve your chances.
What is level and how do I increase my level?
Your level is based on the amount of experience you gain from doing tours. To increase your level, simply do more tours. Higher level tours will help you gain more experience.
What is energy and how do I get more?
Energy is required to do tours. Higher level tours require more energy, but also award more points and experience if completed successfully. Your energy regenerates automatically up to a set capacity limit. Each time you reach the next level, your capacity limit is increased and your energy is refilled.
How do I add friends to my team?
You can add friends to your team by going to the "My Team" tab and sending your friends a team request. Simply select friends you want to add to your team from the list of friends. In addition, if any of your friends have sent you a team request, the request will appear at the top of the page. You can click "accept" for each team request or click "accept all" at the top to add all friend team requests to your own team.
How do I unlock more tours?
Tours are based on your level, team size, and completing other tours. As you complete tours, more tours will become available.
How come I can still do tours even after it shows 100% complete?
You can do tours that you have completed up to a certain amount of times. But in order to continue gaining experience and advancing levels, you have to do new tours that you have not yet completed.
