The controls try to be more sophisticated than they actually are. If you press on the screen while the car is on the ground, you speed up, but if you're in the air you start rotating counterclockwise. This is fun at first, until you quickly realize that the car is wildly out of control at all times, and if one wheel is even slightly off of the ground, you completely stop accelerating and just start spinning out of control. If you could click and spin left or right it might be a different story.
