- I think this is key. Tap-tap-tap, with occasional hard swerves
- when you need them. Stay smooth. Take curves the way you would
- if you were riding a real motorcycle: slow down to set up, go
- on the throttle through the turn. Late apexes if you can. I
- did really badly until I tried slowing down & consciously using
- the controls this way.
-
- I've been mostly ignoring the fighting part, except for the
- occasional side-swipe. I have no trouble hitting the punch
- button while staying on the throttle.

- Disclaimer: I've only had it for two days, and haven't gotten
- to higher levels yet. Though as soon as I get home, I'm going
- to run one more race, which should put me at level 3.
