Race?

At the start of the first race it says N but just 1-5 and R are shown and I just keep losing every time even though I'm hitting the right gears in the sweet spot every time. What am I suppose to be doing?

I press 1 at the start and that seems to be right and I get every sweet spot and yet I still just keep losing. I've checked the walk through and found no good answer. Just loaded this up and now I have to stop before I get to mad.

1. Look at the tachometer. In the middle of it is the gear the car is currently in.
2. When the revs hit the green zone, press the appropriate gear you want to shift into. It's almost always one more than the gear you're currently in (see 1.).
3. To remove all doubt, if the tacho says you're in N, click the 1 button on the screen.
If it says you're in 1, click 2.
If it says you're in 2, click 3.
If it says you're in 3, click 4.
If it says you're in 4, click 5.
If it says you're in reverse, you broke something and a nice police office should visit your house and take away your licence.

I don't think any of the minigames have downshifting in them at the moment, so it's just shifting into the next gear, like you would when driving a manual or semi-auto car.

OMG, thank you so much. When I saw 1 I hit 1 and so on, this makes so much more sense. When playing video games I use video game logic, now I know. I'll give you some points.
