Tips and tricks
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
- If the game has upgrades, put the first ones into handling or brakes rather than top speed — control wins more races than raw power at the beginning.
- Traffic and rivals are predictable: they hold their line. Plan your overtake two cars ahead rather than reacting to the one in front.
- Learn one track completely before moving on. Knowing where every bend is worth several seconds a lap and the skill carries over.
- Because this is a Survival game, plan for the late game early; what feels like plenty of resources will not be.
