Tips and tricks
- Nitro or boost is best used on straights where you are already stable, not to rescue a bad corner.
- 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.
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
- Traffic and rivals are predictable: they hold their line. Plan your overtake two cars ahead rather than reacting to the one in front.
- Because this is a Driving game, keep your eyes far down the road — you will react earlier to what is coming.
