A line that signals the start or the end of the race. Even though it is used for racing, it could mean any type of racing game.
These spooky entities are the spirits of the dead, returned from beyond their graves for generally sinister purposes. There's generally about even odds whether a particular ghost will be helpful or malevolent towards the living, but some ghosts just want to be left alone entirely.
A lap is one circuit around a race track. This is featured in many, but not all racing games.
A place to fall, often bottomless, usually resulting in death.
A rocket start is an element that appears in most fictional racing games; it is an important technique to gain boost at the start of a race by accelerating at the right time. This technique is inspired by the Mario Kart series. It is also used in other games, too!
A grid that is organized for the start of the race in rows of 2, 3 or more. Very useful for standing starts in various racing titles.
Players compete against the clock to secure the fastest time possible. This is often added to racing games for extra replay value and typically requires a higher degree of skill.
