* Avoid the walls at all costs!
* Turning nose to midway on the one you are passing, and scraping them
into the wall is a good tactic.
* Begin your turn a car length from the corner, on zigzag turns, make
the opposite turn before you expect to, and release it before you expect
to.
* Try to make the apex of turns, without hitting them – trackside contact
really costs you speed.
* A sneaky way to boost points, is to wait – the time counts, and you don’t
gain by winning by a mile, just don’t make your move too late.
A riskier version of this is to hold back, and obstruct or wall-ram the
computer cars as much as possible.
* When you’re going round a corner, if you let go of the left/right key when
you’re half-way round, you will come out of the corner much better.
You may have to press the key again if you let go too early but when you
master the skill, it’s good and you will win.
* Try to stay on course. If you go off course, the game doesn’t count your lap.
* When you are making turns, you can use your opponents to your advantage if
they are close by. When making a turn, you can run your opponent into the
curve and use it as a pivot point, making a quicker turn.
