Introduction
Just in case if in the future a new member (not the bot ones, obviously) asked about how to play DRSP on BlueStacks,
I will post the how-to about installing the game. The point is, it is the same as manually installing DRSP on Android smartphones.
The difference is: one on the phone, one on the PC. Let's hit it up.
Hey, at least you save your phone's battery for a while.
System Requirements

FAQ
Q: Where can I download BlueStacks?
A: You can download it just by typing 'BlueStacks' and follow the installation instruction.
Q: I can't type using keyboard when registering/input the Transfer Code and Player ID. What's wrong?
A: It's been from version 1 of BlueStacks. I ever contact the dev team and still no bug fixing about 'unable to type' in Bluestacks. What you can do is do these steps: Settings -> Select IME -> Enable OnScreen Keyboard.
Q: My PC not supporting touch screen. What should I do when NOS shot when urgent?
A: In version 2, you can click the WASD icon on the top, beside gear icon and click it. Before knowing this technique, I usually quickly move my mouse from the steering button to the NOS button only before and after the yellow line. I'm using a customized gaming mouse to assist in honing these buttons. Here's what you can do.
Select 'Tap' -> Designate the 'tap' location -> Input the key for 'tapping it'.
From here, you can press any key on your keyboard while holding your LMB (Left Mouse Button) on the steer button.
Q: My PC is stuttering when playing DRSP on BlueStacks. What's wrong?
A: Update your graphic card driver, basically. If your graphic card memory doesn't support, you may need to upgrade if using desktops. For laptop, you may hardly found a computer store to install external video card or worse, impossible to do so.
Another case is the number of running programs in your computer. Use Task Manager to terminate unnecessary programs.
Q: How much RAM consumed for running both BS and DRSP?
A: You can expect a usage of ~300MB of RAM for running both. As stated above, please close other applications before doing so. If you have gigantic gigs of RAM, you should worry nothing. However, there's nothing wrong to paying attention for the 'health' of your hardware.
Q: BS Consumed RAM too much. Can I lower it?
A: This is an advanced procedure you will have to do by open 'regedit'. Please keep in mind make every backups you have on the BS itself and your DRSP game data, including your PC. Turn on the System Restore in case you screw your own PC. I won't explain it in here, you can google by yourself. Safety is priority!
Q: Is it easier to make the game footage?
A: If you think your computer can do it, of course! All you have to do is doing your thing while keep an eye of the RAM usage. Some recording software provides a frame-per-second counter, so you can see how many FPS during the recording or when the recorder is idle.
Q: Laptop's broken down. Now what?
A: Should you have the Transfer Code (password, whatever it is), you should be able to reinstall everything from the start and do the same procedure.
Q: Any revisions later?
A: Sure. If I got the time, I will do so.

System Requirements

- Any processor that have frequencies above @2.4 GHz. Mine is i7-4700HQ CPU @2.4GHz with 8 cores; approx boosted can reach around @3.0GHz.
- RAM with capacity of 4GB. The more capacity you have, the better.
- 4GB hard disk space for storing everything (apps, data, game data)
- Up-to-date video card graphics. Aprrox. of 1986MB total memory is recommended.
Please note that performance result may vary depend on how many programs running on the computer. Your detailed specifications of your hardware somehow affects too only at intense usage (e.g: recording livestream footage of DRSP).
Close any unnecessary programs to free more RAM spaces for BlueStacks to run properly.

Installation steps
- Download it with your PC browser or using the default browser from BlueStacks. Much prefer on the PC browser so you can drag 'n' drop the apk to BlueStacks.
- Once the installation is completed, you can go on the game and register yourself (or transferring using the Transfer Code) if you have any for backup. Since it is freshly installed, you will have to re-download all required data to let the game running smoothly when commencing race or battles in the game.
- There you go! You should be able to enjoy the game on your PC instead using phone.
