The music seems to be broken - nothing plays after pressing [1]; [2] or [3].
The stage choice may refer to Sega's "Racing Hero".
post-stage screen: after you complete a stage, click next one.
* Unlock upgrades by getting achievements: before you start the game, click 'upgrades' option. You'll see there what achievement you have to score to unlock that upgrade. The upgrades will help you get a lower time. Some stages even have a set time 'limit' (finish in under X seconds).
* Score a turbo start: press either [W] or [UP ARROW] just after 'get set' disappears. This method will not only start you faster, but it's also an achievement unlocking an upgrade after some stages.
* Don't hit any traffic: every hit slows you down.
* When you learn any course by heart, you'll probably be able to complete it with no brakes. The achievement 'don't brake' is on the list.
