Tips and tricks
- 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.
- Nitro or boost is best used on straights where you are already stable, not to rescue a bad corner.
- On mobile, tilt controls feel exciting but touch buttons are usually more precise. Try both before you settle.
- 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.
- Because this is a Simulator game, learn the systems slowly — simulations reward understanding over speed.
