The genre lives on responsive steering, a scoring system based on time, position or distance and upgrades or unlocks between races.

Tips and tricks
- 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.
- 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.
- Nitro or boost is best used on straights where you are already stable, not to rescue a bad corner.
- Because this is a Driving game, keep your eyes far down the road — you will react earlier to what is coming.
