How do you use armor in Top Gear 3000?

In Top Gear 3000, armor is used to protect your vehicle from damage during races. Players can collect armor upgrades throughout the game, which can be activated to absorb hits from opponents and obstacles. It's important to strategically use armor when facing tougher competitors or challenging sections of the track to maintain your speed and position. Keep an eye on your armor gauge, as it depletes with use and needs to be replenished by collecting more upgrades.
