If you're going to make a racing game this inherently stacked against the player, you might as well make crashing instantly boot you to menu. And while I would advise against making /yet another/ Pole Position clone, think hard about removing the lines of code forcing enemy drivers to cut you off if they detect you doing too well.

The last track in India is really difficult! Rival cars are going fast as hell!
IMHO developers did it specially for last track :)

Is there a secret track with rain or something? Am i missing tracks? I only got sunny tracks! Is it because it is summer now?

Nevermind, finally got it. I had to keep saving Boost to get around that curve easier. even then, it's very difficult! People in Turkey really know how to drive, I guess!

Has anyone actually GOTTEN 1st in Turkey? That first right turn nearly kills me, even with 100% handling! What am I doing wrong?!

I'm glad this game was BOTD, it's a fun little game with really good controls! I wouldn't have found it any other way.

2/5 The penalty for crashing is ridiculous, 1 crash guarantees losing lap, and without minimap it's stupid trying to remember location of turns.

I didn't have a single race in the rain. Now I'm kinda sad because it didn't rain. Anyways, medium badge (12 1sts) is medium - if you're having trouble on a race, memorize the turns. It'll help make up for many mechanical disadvantages if you can get on the inside of a turn.

Why is it that my beginning car is just flat-out faster than the other drivers'? I'm not driving with any particular skill; I just overtake them.

The hardest map is Turkey because the computer doesn't have to obey the same rules you do and can and does pass you on hairpin turns where you have to break even with max handling and no active boost.

I don't think the rewards for finishing a race in the lower ranks should be so high. For one race, I didn't see it was raining and I chose dry tyres by accident, so I kept crashing and came last, but I still got $3,000. It doesn't make you feel like you really earned that money...

I didn't notice until very late in the game, that you can see the weather in the top corner of each track, before selecting it.

I hate how the flashing turn indicator seems to cause the game to lag, so I careen off the road and crash before my screen updates.

Those other cars in the Turkey race have amazing handling - even at 100 I can't avoid drifting across the road, but they remain perfectly in position.

So even though i drift from the inner corner to the outer corner these cars going just as fast as i am dont drift at all? where can i get handing like that

For the Formulaic Badge, you can get 5 awards using only the first two tracks. All it takes is a bit of practice and a fully upgraded car. I suggest going for these awards:
Wrong shoes (Win with the wrong tyres)
Winning in the Rain (Win a race in wet weather)
Maximum Booster (Win a race with full boost)
Boosting 10x (Use boost 10 times in a level)
Tarmac Lover (Finish in the top 5 and don't go off the tarmac)
Winning Crasher (Crash and still come first)

The absolute hardest map for me is Turkey, if that huge curve doesn't crash me I end up so slowed down I cant catch up again.

The game seems to have a little problem with numbers; class 1 max's speed should display 180.00 mph but sometimes displays 179.110 (??)
same happens with class 2 displaying 199.110 mph. IDK if happens with class 3, not there yet

My problem with this, and why I gave up going for the medium badge, is that the turns seem completely random. At times on the course, on the exact turns, when I'm moving exactly the same way, sometimes I'm fine, and sometimes I crash and automatically lose because the RNG decided to troll me. 2/5.

Thanks for reminding me of the great times I had with TopGear2(a game very similar to this one) back in the 90s. For a couple of hours it really brought my childhood back and am grateful for that. Also, excellent work with the photographic backdrops.

Stellar graphics for a simple racing game, but a minimap would've been much appreciated. The maps we do see don't even mark the starting point.

I went with full engine + full handling. Watch for corners that slow you down and use boost right after. I only used full engine + full boost to get the Bat award.

Memorizing is the best strategy to win. Do arrows count. Consider which arrows is dangerous, which arrows is safe to use booster.
Since there is no minimap... again... memorizing is the best strategy -.-
