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.
- 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.
