Tips

Goal 2.1

I took a few tries, shortening the braking distance to get the speed

No Upgrades



Goal 2.2

This turns out to be nearly 3 laps. I was on the brake almost right after the start.

I'm learning to make obtuse (>90 degrees) angle turns, just a quick lift and brake tap turns the 125, so throttle can be reapplied very quickly. More acute (<90 degree) angle turns, I'm learning new brake points, closer to the apex.



On the turn that joins the long straight, Ahmed can be stopped and slowed. Even with no upgrades, either you can remain in the lead, or catch him on or after the Parabolica. I found a dark line or shadow across the track, after the red rumble strip is a good brake point going into the Parabola. I am braking after the start/finish, after the sign over the track and 1.5 to 2 light poles after that sign. (Disclaimer: I don't own any race cars, yet, so maybe I'm learning things that other racers already know.)



Goal 2.3

When I go off track on the straight, I like to take Ahmed with me, so he doesn't race out ahead of me. Collecting off track time in turns is a good technique, too. Ahmed, as all bots are, is slower in turns. No Upgrades. PR was red.
