Start out by selecting between one of three different characters - Monkey, Zed, and 3 Foot Ninja. Each has their own unique craft that is rated differently in the stats of acceleration, speed, and grip. Each of them is balanced out different in stats so go with the one that best suits your own particular racing style. Select a track next - there's three to pick from, Jungle, Highway, and Chinatown. Jungle is the easiest, and is four laps, Highway is medium difficulty and 3 laps, and Chinatown is a punishing 2 lap course that is hard. Accelerate using the up arrow, brake using the down arrow, and turn using the left and right arrow keys. Make sure to stay on the pavement, otherwise you'll be slowed down considerably. You'll also need to be mindful of track hazards such as puddles that will slow you down and make your craft more difficult to steer correctly.
