A thing to say, notably an "Unspoken Mechanic".
Fish Frenzy. Hurt a fish along the spine to make it bleed, and then go up a little.
This attracts large Carnivores the farther down you go.
Tips & Tricks for new racers: Boosts. They're not to be abused, as 100% boost is overkill. Boosts are used to do two things: Catch up after a crash or to meet top speed after a turn or cutting off AIs. Next up, Handling. Handling takes priority until it reaches or exceeds 50%. Over that is meeting turns but also too touchy to control. Beware! Second to last, your Engine. Raising it's % will raise Top Speed and Acceleration, so keep it fairly high. Too much before your Handling reaches 50% WILL crash you.
Last off is the most important: Be sure to "grind" the class below your new one as to be able to upgrade your car right off the bat. However, there is no penalty for going back later on. This will lead to a good car from the start, and practice for various things.
I hope this helps you guys!
Excellent, what did you think? :)
