The game uses a third-person chase view with the car moving forward continuously while the player focuses on steering, acceleration, and braking. Tracks are divided into course groups with dramatic elevation changes, sharp corners, and fast transitions. Progress depends on finishing with the required placing under time pressure. Success comes from learning each course layout, controlling long slides, and avoiding crashes that kill momentum.

Strategy
Brake or ease off the accelerator just before tight corners, then straighten the car as early as possible to keep speed. On linked S-bends, avoid overcorrecting and aim for smooth steering inputs. Elevation changes can throw the car off line, so prepare for landing adjustments. In later stages, clean driving is usually more important than taking every corner at maximum speed.
