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.
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
- 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.
