Tips
  • Focus on upgrading your car's performance parts (Engine, Turbo, Tires, etc.) to stay competitive.
  • Experiment with different car types to find one that suits your driving style and the race type.
  • Utilize the 'Aggro' mechanic in Canyon Duels to force opponents off the road.
  • Manage your crew effectively; assign them to races or have them assist you during events.
  • Pay attention to the unique abilities of each crew member (e.g., Blocker, Scout, Hitter).
  • Complete all available races in a district to unlock the boss race for that area.
  • Don't neglect visual customization; it can sometimes provide a small performance boost or unlock special vinyls.
