What you do

A useful first decision

Tips and Strategies

  • Races occur amidst moving traffic, which creates both challenges and opportunities. While collisions with other cars may hinder your progress, you can tactically use traffic to block or pressure your rivals.
  • Since the game focuses on drifting, vehicles tend to oversteer during tight turns. The tracks offer numerous sharp bends and twists. Gaining mastery over steering control is essential—manage your speed deliberately, brake ahead of tight corners, and emphasize precise handling to keep control.
