Before catching up with the 'trains', I prefer doing outside overtakes where possible because you can't afford to make too many mistakes.

Once I catch up with them, I change my strategy and drive very carefully. Again, it is key not to lose your top speed (or at least not too much). I overtake very carefully on the inside making sure not to move to the right until I'm certain that the ghost of the bot I have just passed has really vanished. You lose a little speed but it's no problem at all. You can really afford to take it easy at this stage.

There is a theory that fast passing creates more of those super trains, where individual trains are fused together. They often contain bots that behave erratically and crashes are common. I think it's probably true. You can't avoid those super trains altogether, however.
