Underneath the Shots remaining box is a little icon that is
a missile if your weapon system is all charged up and ready
to fire, or a red box if not.

The the window in the bottom center does lots of things:
F2 - Status Window (shows # laps, who is leading, and how
far behind)
F3 - Rear View (good for dodging missiles)
F4 - Left View
F5 - Right View
Also shows the targeted guy when using a homing weapon.

Hitting ESC during a race brings up the game menus, where you
can save, load, restart games, pick your controller, change
the detail level, and other stuff. There is also a replay
option, which plays back the race like a movie.

Tips:
Upgrade your laser when you can. Also, remember to use the
guys in the bar to aid you in the next race. For a price,
you can get advanced weapons, sabatoge the enemy, or make
bets as to who will win the next race.
