2-4 HINTS FOR PLAYING THE GAME

●BOOST

Hold the BOOST buttons to accelerate rapidly.

While pressed, the steering wheel will vibrate vigorously.

The BOOST buttons can be pressed an unlimited number of times, but you will lose a lot of time if you collide with an opponent or a wall while using it.

●Drift

Turn the steering wheel dramatically before going into a turn to skid sideways (drift) through the turn. This eliminates the need for braking.

The trick is to turn the steering wheel long before the corner, even when driving in a straight line. If you use BOOST while drifting, you will lose control of the car and be unable to corner properly.

●High-Speed Drift

Pressing the accelerator just before or while drifting will carry out a “high-speed drift” from which it is very difficult to decelerate. The sound of a high-speed drift is different from that of a standard drift.

●SLIPSTREAM

It is possible to achieve a speed faster than the top speed of your car by following close behind an opponent. When doing this, the word “SLIP STREAM” will be displayed above your speedometer.
