Tips and tricks
- 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.
- Traffic and rivals are predictable: they hold their line. Plan your overtake two cars ahead rather than reacting to the one in front.
- Learn one track completely before moving on. Knowing where every bend is worth several seconds a lap and the skill carries over.
- On mobile, tilt controls feel exciting but touch buttons are usually more precise. Try both before you settle.
