The overhead map of the German track.

The German track is located up in the top-left of the track selection screen, so if you are using MAME to play the game but haven't held 9 and pressed F2 for calibration, you shan't be able to select it; the timer will start at 60 seconds.

When that traffic light has appeared upon the right side of the screen, and is changing from red to yellow to green, you should be in low gear with the gas pedal fully down; as you accelerate away from the starting line, you should shift into high gear at about 100 km/h, then turn to the right as you pass four barriers upon the left side of the track. You will now have to turn to the left, then turn to the right, as you are coming up to what is described as Ost Kurve in that gameplay demonstration and pass four more barriers on the left side of the track; once you have done so, you will have to turn to the left, then turn to the right, and turn to the left again as you come up to what's described as Schikane 2, then turn to the right again as you come up to what's described as Agip Kurve, and pass a banner for Mobil 1 on the left side of the track. You'll now have to turn to the left as you are coming up to what is described as Sachs Kurve, then turn to the right as you come up to what is described as Opel Kurve, then turn to the right again, before turning to the right once again as you come up to the finishing line - and once you have completed a full lap of the track, the text "TIME EXTENDED LAP TIME XX.XX" ("XX.XX" being your lap time) will flash up on the screen and you will gain 35 additional seconds of racing time in which to complete another lap. Once you have completed four laps of the track, your car will race off into the distance as the text "OFFICIAL RESULT" appears on the screen with your position (1st-8th) below it; the distance you travelled in metres and best lap time will then be displayed below that. If your total time was less than 2:46:01, the game will go into best-time mode, so you should enter your initials on the German table with pride, regardless of the half - and once you've done it, the game will go back into attract mode.
