THREE PYLONS ON COURSE-
This setting determines whether the course is a three-pylon course or a two-pylon
course. If Yes is selected, the course is a three-pylon course. If No, the course is a
two-pylon course.
To set this option, click the value in the corresponding column. From the pull-down
list, select either Yes (three pylon course) or No (two pylon course).
THRESHOLD RULES-
In threshold racing, the planes do not actually have to go around the pylon. Rather,
they only have to break the plane of the pylon. This option is only enabled for two
pylon courses. It is grayed out (not applicable) on three pylon courses.
To determine whether the Threshold Rules will be utilized, click the value in the
corresponding column. From the pull-down list, select either Yes or No.
DISTANCE BETWEEN PYLONS 1 AND 2-
If you have selected a two-pylon course, this option indicates the distance between

To adjust the distance, click on the corresponding value. Enter the desired value
directly from the keyboard or via the mouse wheel.
DISTANCE TO PYLON 1-
This is the distance from the starting point to pylon number 1. This option is only

To adjust the distance, click on the corresponding value. Enter the desired value
directly from the keyboard or via the mouse wheel.
DISTANCE BETWEEN PYLONS 2 AND 3-
If you have selected a three-pylon course, this option indicates the distance between
the pylons two and three. Increasing the value places the pylons farther apart.
To adjust the distance, click on the corresponding value. Enter the desired value
directly from the keyboard or via the mouse wheel.
PYLON RACING INSTRUCTIONS
STARTING A PYLON RACING EVENT
You can run a pylon race in either a single player or multiplayer environment.
The person who starts the event (the host) decides upon the applicable rules and
parameters. For example, the host can set:
• How many pylons mark the course (two or three)
• Regular or Threshold-style racing (two-pylon races only)
• The number of laps in the race
