how to play "linemaster"

Yesterday our friend and distributor in Japan, Teisuke Morimoto, sent us the cool pic below that he shot recently.  He also explained to me how to play the mysterious kirin racing game that you can check out if you go here and click "linemaster."  If you want to give it a shot, here is how:

You can choose 3 types of racers. Green (senkou) is very fast when just starting. Red (makuri) is strong for chasing from outside of bank. Blue(oikomi) is very fast in the last straight.

After you choose a rider, you should check start list. If some red signs are blinking at the bottom, they are from the same area of Japan and will
help each other in the race. You should mark the group. If you are the Blue (oikomi), just stay behind them.

Beginner race is auto play before bell is rung. In the last 1 1/2 laps, you can speed up by hitting the space bar many times.  It's best to stay in a draft as long as possible.
