Tips and tricks
- Traffic and rivals are predictable: they hold their line. Plan your overtake two cars ahead rather than reacting to the one in front.
- 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.
- Learn one track completely before moving on. Knowing where every bend is worth several seconds a lap and the skill carries over.
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
- Because this is a Hypercasual game, find the rhythm of the single mechanic — that is the entire skill.
