Tips/LinksTIPS FOR LITTLIES THAT WILL BE RACING
GENERAL TIPS AND TRICKS Slot car racing is not unlike real car racing, in that you have to slow into the corners and accelerate out. But be careful as too much power out can cause a crash, while being too cautious will mean loosing the race! Start off slower and build up your speed, by slowly increasing your speed down the straights and reducing speed for the corners and build up a rhythm. Just remember that a race is not won on the fasted lap!
