Tips and tricks
- Nitro or boost is best used on straights where you are already stable, not to rescue a bad corner.
- Learn one track completely before moving on. Knowing where every bend is worth several seconds a lap and the skill carries over.
- On mobile, tilt controls feel exciting but touch buttons are usually more precise. Try both before you settle.
- 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 Driving game, keep your eyes far down the road — you will react earlier to what is coming.
