RACING

Drafting - By getting behind another car you can gain draft boost. When the time is right, pull out into an open lane and your car will accelerate as your draft boost is depleted.
Aggressiveness - The driver of your car has three aggressiveness settings, defaulting on Yellow. Red will make the driver push the car harder. Be careful, the risk of crashing increases as the car is pushed.
Pitting - At any time the player can elect to enter the pits to work on their car or replace worn items. After a player elects to enter the pits, the car will go around the track until it reaches pit lane and then enter.
Tires - The tire wear indicator is very important as the tires effect the handling of the car. If your tires are worn you can enter the pits and change them.
Fuel - Keep an eye on your fuel gauge, running out on the track is not a winning strategy!
Damage - Throughout the race contact with other cars is unavoidable. If too much contact is made, your car will become damaged. Damage affects the top speed of the car and can be repaired in the pits.

Tips and Hints

• Try to strategize pitting to happen when the rest of the cars on the track are either in the pits themselves or going slow under yellow, you will lose less track position this way.
• Pick the best time to use your draft boost, look for a clear line that is not in a corner.
• Other cars can be your friends or your foes, learn to use them for gaining draft boost as well as opening up lines through traffic
• While in the pits, be sure to keep an eye on the amount of time you will take to accomplish each change. If the end of the race is near there is no need to fill the gas tank all the way up!
• Watch those tires, as they wear down the car can get a little 'loose' on the track.
• Each track has an ideal line around the entire track that is not necessarily in the same lane. Experiment with different lanes through the corners to pick up more speed.
