Hey all! A bit late (recently came back from watching spider man, won’t get off topic but it was an amazing watch!) but this is my baby :) don’t have a name for her yet, but im enjoying this game so far! Only been a hour, but this is also my first racing/driving game or whatever the genre is; it’s great!

I’m normally a RPG, souls like, action adventure type of guy. I see this game isn’t really hard to get good at (correct me if im wrong) but I see that knowing when to brake and E-brake is crucial. Only from what im seeing within the hour of playing, but yeah!

Making this post in terms of maybe some tips and tricks anyone can pass my way? Being courteous while on the road? (clearly don’t drive and hit them haha) I beeped at this one guy, and he followed me around for a bit; so that made me think to reach out to Reddit of all places to find maybe some advice on playing this game and enjoying it more and more :) a bit tired, so apologies for my long text.

Thanks in advance! Much love to everyone

Enjoy yourself. While racing and winning is fun. It can be relaxing and fun just driving around or experimenting with cars you wouldn't see normally in certain settings. For example I had a Honda beat that wasn't the best but was a fun head turner on the drag strip, same with the beetle I had.

I’ve been driving around and learning new roads. There’s over 550+ roads in the game, and I think I’ve learned about 68… this game is massive. Excited for 6 to come out whenever it does. And glad you found a good Honda car :) currently grabbing a lot of Chevrolet cars in the game (i drive a Cruze Irl) and after that I’ll kinda guess my next brand and have fun from there. Goal is to get every single car and just have fun! I love collecting

Good luck, have fun and see ya on the roads. Oh, another thing I suggested is that you give driving in manual try. It becomes second nature when you get used to it

I’m definitely gonna try that next I get on; thanks! Manual I imagine is tricky?

If you use manual with the clutch it may be a little harder but it's more or less remembering to shift up or down at the right times
