Strategy:

  • Stay on the Road: The train follows a fixed rail line. Your advantage is the ability to cut corners and take optimal racing lines on the road.
  • Aggressive Cornering: Don't be afraid to push the limits in corners. The provided car is usually very grippy.
  • Utilize Rewind: If you make a mistake or hit an obstacle, use the Rewind feature to correct your error.
  • Maintain Speed: The train is relentless. Focus on maintaining maximum speed, especially on straights.
  • Anticipate Turns: Look ahead on the mini-map and the road to prepare for upcoming turns, allowing you to brake and accelerate smoothly.

The key is consistent, clean driving. The train doesn't make mistakes, so you can't afford many either. Focus on smooth lines and efficient acceleration out of corners.
