Tips and tricks
- Nitro or boost is best used on straights where you are already stable, not to rescue a bad corner.
- Traffic and rivals are predictable: they hold their line. Plan your overtake two cars ahead rather than reacting to the one in front.
- On mobile, tilt controls feel exciting but touch buttons are usually more precise. Try both before you settle.
- 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.
- Because this is a Obstacle game, react to the obstacle after the one in front of you.
