Default Road racing up narrow, twisted mountain road.

I guess this is a sprint event with one car on the road at once, or if it is racing with other vehicles?

Dont change your line while negotiating turns, as faster cars will have problems if the are passing, let them go round you dont move as they might move the way you go and a collision occurs.

Make sure your front wheels are pointing in the right direction, and try and balance the car with smooth inputs, get used to the car and have fun, worry about hard braking and early severe throttle out of turns as you gain experience with the vehicle.

Check you wheels give them a wobble after racing to check wheelbearings, and give the knock offs a thump and if they make the right sound or torque them, personally I dont safety wire never have, if they are done up properly they are no different to having a big nut there torqued correctly like a lot of professional race cars use!
