Tips and tricks
- Learn one track completely before moving on. Knowing where every bend is worth several seconds a lap and the skill carries over.
- Nitro or boost is best used on straights where you are already stable, not to rescue a bad corner.
- 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.
