Tips and tricks
- Nitro or boost is best used on straights where you are already stable, not to rescue a bad corner.
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
- Traffic and rivals are predictable: they hold their line. Plan your overtake two cars ahead rather than reacting to the one in front.
- Slow in, fast out. Entering a corner a little slower lets you accelerate earlier on the exit, which almost always beats a hard, late braking approach.
