Setting Up the Payment
Pod racing is a high-stakes sport, and the successful drivers are well-rewarded with cash prizes (in truguts) for stellar performances. These winnings aren't for you to sock away for a rainy day (with the risk-level of this sport, a driver probably won't survive 'til a rainy day anyway), but to spend on making your pod racer even more competitive. If you have already looked over the price of the high-end parts, you can see that they are quite steep - it'll take a lot of winning to make your pod racer the best it can be.
After you select your tournament race, you'll be provided with the Track Details Screen. This screen shows you a map of the course, the favored racer and the current records for the total race time and the best lap time. If this is your first time competing in the race (meaning that you haven't already placed in the top four for this race), you'll also see a "Winnings" display on the lower left of the screen. This display will show you how the truguts are paid out for winning. By moving the control stick left/right, you can change the prize structure for any given race. The Fair prize structure splits the winnings most evenly. The Skilled structure rewards those who place higher and the Winner Takes All structure only rewards the first place pod racer.
