-HARD ONE- (11)

Start the race and resist the urge to modify the kart's transmission; it won't help.

Accelerate to 45mph, then move to the inside (right) of the track.

Line up with the apex of the first left turn. Brake late and straight, aiming for the back of the second car ahead.

You should pass two cars and be in 8th place by the next sharp left turn.

Go wide for this turn, brake slightly, and accelerate through it to get behind the 7th place car.

Stay close to the 7th place car, get the curves right, and pass him on the sharp right turn by the water. This is the second braking point.

The first turn (right), the next left, and this right by the water are your only significant braking points. For other turns, lift off the gas, turn, and then accelerate.

You are now in 7th place, drafting the 6th place car. Your first lap time should be around 52.8 seconds.

Pass the 6th place car on the first corner (brake when the line indicates).

Pass another car on the next left corner, putting you in 5th place.

Stay close to the 4th place car and pass him by the water. Avoid hitting him or going sideways.

You should end lap 2 in 4th place, drafting the 3rd place car.

The pattern continues: pass one car on the sharp right, another on the next left, and the first place car by the water.

Hold the lead for the remaining 2.5 laps without crashing. Remember to brake very early at the first turn (almost at the start line) and maintain your racing lines.
