Strategy:

  • Water Sections: When driving through water, maintain a steady throttle. Too much speed can cause you to lose control, while too little can bog you down. Look for the shallowest paths.
  • Road Advantage: use the road sections to gain significant ground. Your car will be much faster on solid ground than the boats are in water.
  • Aggressive Lines: Don't be afraid to take aggressive lines, especially on corners, to cut down on distance.
  • Anticipate Transitions: Be prepared for the transition from land to water and vice-versa. Adjust your speed and steering accordingly.
  • Rewind for Mistakes: Water can be unpredictable. If you get stuck or lose too much speed, use Rewind to recover.

The key to this event is mastering the transitions between land and water and maximizing your speed on the road sections. The boats are fast in their element, but your car's versatility is your weapon.
