Tips and tricks
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
- Nitro or boost is best used on straights where you are already stable, not to rescue a bad corner.
- Use the whole width of the road. Cutting across from the outside to the inside of a bend and back out again shortens the distance and keeps your speed up.
- Traffic and rivals are predictable: they hold their line. Plan your overtake two cars ahead rather than reacting to the one in front.
- Because this is a Avoid game, stay in the middle so you can move either way.
