Tips and tricks
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
- 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.
- 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.

A typical session is 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.
