I have been playing this awesome racer for a while now and it gets
more addictive everyday.
All this gameplay experience means I naturally have lots of tips and
tricks for those who wants to master the game double quick.
1) Save your Gold. Do not use it on speeding up the servicing or
updating of your cars. Be patient and let time do that and NOT your
gold. Use your gold only for gold-only upgrades for your cars or
gold-only car purchases.
2) Do not go off-road to cut corners, and avoid getting thrown outside
the track as much as possible. This will cause considerable damage to
your vehicle and require more frequent servicing. Which means more
waiting and less racing for you. So always use the breaks on those
corners- more on this later.
3) Set as much driving assists as possible to OFF (steering, traction,
brakes etc). AT the beginning turning Brake assists completely off
will seems daunting and arduous. So do it gradually. Setting high brake
assist will mean you will almost never go off-track by accident. But
this also causes the game to brake at the slightest turn and obstacle,
which means winning in the later racers will become impossible however
high your cars' PR (performance rating) is. So set it one notch lower
to Low setting. This is the best combination of assisted braking and
player control there is. Low setting will make the game brake only for
the tightest corners while letting you brake for light turns and
letting you enjoy the game.
For some races though you will need to turn brake assists off
completely to win, such as for Speed Snap races using a
under-performing vehicle.
4) Learn the tracks. You will need to run through each track multiple
times before you get used to the corners and route before you can
completely master it and win. Remember practice makes perfect.
5) Brake before you come to the corner and then let off the brake as
you turn and then hit the gas at the end of the turn for best results.
Always try and keep as close to the corner as possible while turning
for best results.
This will also vary vastly depending on the PR rating of each vehicle.
6) Within a Series try and do the easy races first (such as Autocross,
Drag Race, Elimination, head to head, time-trial etc) as they usually
are pretty short and damage the car less and thus you can do a lot of
them before you need a another service break. This'll mean you can hit
the percentage bonuses (25%, 50% 75% etc) for each Series faster when
you do these quick races. Keep the big Cup Races to the last if
possible.
7) When overtaking opponents, beware, some cars will block you or try
and smash you off the track. This is especially true for the
Indianapolis Speedway track. Some opponents will try to put you into
the outer railing, which will cause massive damage and slow you down
considerably.
Also when someone tries to overtake make sure to return the favor and
smash em to the ground.
8) If you need more money to upgrade or buy new cars, try replaying
past races. This a quick and easy method to pile up the Racing
Dollars.
9) Upgrading cars costs lots of money and gold that can put towards
buying newer cars and unlocking new Series'. So only upgrade just
enough to win the next race or hit the minimum PR rating, and not just
for the sake of upgrading and spending your hard earned cash.
