What makes a good racing game?

Under the surface it is a test of timing and risk management, dressed up in fast presentation.

Tips and tricks
- Traffic and rivals are predictable: they hold their line. Plan your overtake two cars ahead rather than reacting to the one in front.
- 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.
- Look where you want to go, not at the wall you want to avoid. Your steering follows your attention.
- On mobile, tilt controls feel exciting but touch buttons are usually more precise. Try both before you settle.
- Because this is a Racing game, learn one track thoroughly — the skills transfer to every other track.
