How to play
Your primary goal is to finish races in first place. You control a high-performance car on winding tracks, using the accelerator to build speed and the brake or handbrake to initiate dramatic drifts around corners. Mastering the drift is essential; tapping the brake while turning will cause your car to slide, allowing you to maintain momentum through turns. In the early part of a race, focus on learning the track layout and finding the optimal racing line. As you progress, you'll need to manage your speed carefully, braking before sharp corners and accelerating out of the drift to maximize your exit speed. The challenge comes from rival racers who will aggressively try to pass you, especially on the final lap. During tense moments, concentrate on smooth steering inputs and avoid colliding with walls or opponents, as this will significantly slow you down. A key beginner strategy is to practice the timing of your drifts on familiar corners to shave precious seconds off your lap times.
