Strategies[]

This machine is a great beginner's machine. It has maximum traction, so use this to take corners quickly, avoid obstacles, and boost in areas that a pilot would be crazy to boost in with other machines but are great locations to boost in with this machine. Great cornering can help this machine overcome its low top speed by having the machine travel a shorter distance compared to other vehicles that require wider turns that require them to travel longer distances per lap.

Plan for when to use its boost. Its boost lasts for a long time, so planning for where to use the boost is critical. This machine's maximum traction and long boost times allows you to boost in some narrow twisty roads like one found in the Twist Circuit in the Empyrean Colony that the CPU will slow other machines down in order to take, allowing you to make up many places if you fall behind even in the master difficulty level.
