Comments and (kind) constructive criticism welcome. I’m still a newbie and looking to improve.

    Nice work! One point of advice - try to think about the defense more on corner entry (like you’re doing) but less on corner exit (unless the attacking car is really pushing for moves like over/unders, or if the exit immediately sets up the next corner).

    Basically, you’re losing time by not using all of the track on exit. When you’ve defended the entry, your next goal is to get the smoothest and fastest exit possible, and start leaving them behind :)

      Thanks for this! I’m still a complete newbie but this was the first race where defending sort of “clicked” for me. I was always giving too much space and giving up when faster cars approached.

        Very nice. That same thing took me a long time, as well as learning to deal with the pressure while doing so.

        Giving too much space is tricky too, I still struggle with this when I’m entering a corner side by side. It feels safer to leave a bit of a gap, but then you’re entering really shallow and it actually makes it more likely to come together, gotta stay close right up to turn-in instead.

        Every battle is an opportunity to improve!

        I can’t figure out how to do it on Memmy. Let me see if I can do it through web UI.
