You know how all the old racing games for sega and stuff would have the car in the middle of the screen at the bottom and then have the track in the middle and then the scenery at the top.

I understand how to get the car on and move it and stuff and how to make the scenery effects at the top, but how do they get the track on? Like as the car moves forward so does the track, I don't get it. Do they have to draw the whole track and then some how get it on the middle of the screen. How is done?

Well Im a bit new but Ill give you some suggestions.

Since you know how to move the sprites. you should draw a track and have the sides of the road appear to move my having 2 different sprites also have a few trees randomly scroll down from the top. This will simulate movement then just have your other vehicles scroll down from the top also. So your track is not actually moving but it looks like it is because trees are scrolling by as you hit the gas etc..

A bit vague but some Ideas for you. Hope it helps some.
