Tips and tricks
- 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.
- 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.
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
Who will enjoy it
Who is Hippo Christmas Calendar for? In a word, anyone who enjoys speed, vehicles and shaving seconds off a personal best. In terms of time, think of a single race of one to three minutes, or a longer career if unlocks are involved. How hard is it? Forgiving on early tracks, demanding on later ones. The controls are tap and drag based, which makes it comfortable on touch screens as well as with a mouse.
