BEGINNER SERIES

Sector 1: Gold time is 1:36.000. Brake for the first sharp left when the line indicates, aiming for 50mph. Navigate gradual rights, then brake before a sharper right, letting off the gas slightly to pass at 93mph. Accelerate to the 20-second mark for an S-curve; brake when the line shows, move left, then brake hard and turn right, aiming for 67-70mph. Cut the next left by going off-track onto the right grass, lining up to avoid the protruding wall. Glide left onto the left grass, aiming for the furthest wall protrusion while drifting right. This should allow you to rejoin the track without skidding, saving 3-4 seconds. For subsequent turns, brake early and move left; your right tires should touch the grass, setting you up for the second left turn at full speed. Be cautious as the track dips. A checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death) (a marker on the track) is present; aim to pass it under 54 seconds for a chance at gold (best times are around 51 seconds). Ahead, go left before an unseen right turn. Tap the brakes slightly upon seeing the turn and slide through, aiming to catch the apex at 98-100mph. After a straight, another unseen left turn follows. Braking right after the sign for about 1/4 second, aiming for 119mph, is crucial. Slide along the inside curbstones, accelerating to exit correctly. For the final turn, slam on the brakes early, about a full dotted line ahead of the red braking indicator. Continue braking through the turn; you should reach the correct speed about 2 seconds after turning. Accelerate immediately to hit the finish flags for gold.

Sector 2: Gold time is 2:21. This sector has no checkpoints or ghost cars. Keep accelerating through the initial turns. Before the blind left turn uphill, brake a car length or two before the signpost on the right. Get as far inside on the turn as possible; hitting the wall will cost you the gold time. Immediately after exiting the left turn, brake hard and turn right, aiming for 65mph, slightly too fast for the curve. Drift into the grass, then gently steer left to avoid the wall and line up with the right grass. Accelerate, ride the right wall, and align with the track's direction on the left. This minimizes skidding upon rejoining the track. Your first self-made checkpoint should be around 31-32 seconds. Continue straight until the first gentle left; brake slightly down to 85mph. Accelerate briefly, then brake to 54mph for a sharp left. Turn right, then approach a very sharp left at 45mph or less. Accelerate out of this curve around 1:02-1:04. Navigate the S-curve (left then right) using the curbstones. For the long, sweeping right, start around 85mph, accelerating through it. For the hairpin left, brake as late as possible, aiming for 40mph downhill. Exiting this turn should put you around 1:33. For the next sharp left, brake just before the asphalt patch sticking out on the left to slide through.
