# Game Play

To play Riot Racers, you'll first select a [Car](/cars/cars.md) and a [Driver](/drivers/drivers.md) from your collection. If you do not own a Car or Driver, you can rent one in the [Rental Marketplace](https://riotracers.com/rent).  

Choose a Competition Race or practice your skills in Racing School races. You will be presented with the Race Conditions (weather, track, and pit), and based on those conditions, you choose a Driver and Car. Next you will pick your Racing Strategy by selecting options in five different categories: Race Posture, Racing Line, Braking Technique, Engine Strategy, and Acceleration Strategy.

The race then runs in the background, but what determines who wins? Race results are determined 20% by the Driver, 29% by the Car, and 51% by how well each racer's Race Strategy plays out. Cars with higher XP and upgrades have an advantage in the race as well. Driver types (Earth, Wind, Fire and Water) and skill trait levels determine how well they perform in different Racing Conditions.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://whitepaper.riotracers.com/game-play.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
