All you need to do is press space, make sure you click the green flag more than once to make sure it is running correctly. Once it says go, press the space bar, but not too early or you will red light. Once driving, you will start to pull ahead of the other car, but in the bottom right a yellow light will come up. When it turns yellow, press the space bar to shift. Try to pull far ahead of the other car to win.
I made this project to experiment with moving backgrounds. There is still much more that needs to be done leave comments below to tell me what to add. Also post what gear you beat him on, lower is better, and post your reaction times.
