For the 2nd turn in there's no visual clues for when to start turning in so try a few times in Time Trail. Don't drift there and just keep in control for the chicane in the tunnel. Drifting more through the big turns as with a low angle can keep up speed and get more boost. The Second one, Surf City, takes some learning. It's a simple track and you'll get a lap done in about 25-29 seconds.

Coming down to bottom deck stay around the180 mph mark drifting but end it for the slight left to boost for the finish line. Top deck will require an early cut in because the track gets thinner before the tunnel to the left. You can drift up the big hairpins to get a full bar but be careful on Exit. Keep up with 1st and 2nd place, drafting for the speed increase and the boost buildup so you have 2-3 at the end of lap 4. Came in 1st, 5th, 1st and 1st.įirst track being the Figure 8 Ball has a lot of transitions with S Curves. I used Toshiro's Wild Line as the new tracks are short with a lot of turns and it's faster to not drift on the earlier stages. It can feel a little unfair sometimes, but overall, this one is worth checking out.Similar to the other Expert GP suggestions, it's a hard race but you don't need to win everything. The retro graphics are nice and there are plenty of game modes and characters to choose from. In summary, Hotshot Racing is a nice racing homage to the classic arcade racers of years past. They stick to you no matter how fast you go and would often bump you and mess up your turns. There are some game balance issues when it comes to AI opponents, though, particularly with their use of the rubber banding effect. Lastly, there's an online global leaderboard where you can race against other players' ghosts and compete for the fastest track lap times. Meanwhile, Cops and Robbers will have you try your best to avoid capture by the police. For an extra twist, you can try out the Drive or Explode wherein you will need to maintain a certain speed else the bomb strapped to your car will explode. Hotshot Racing has the Time Trial and Grand Prix Modes if you want to play the classic arcade racing experience.

What's more, you'll be able to play the game solo or with your friends in 4-player split-screen or online multiplayer of up to 8 racers. You get to choose from 8 speed-thirsty drivers to control, each with its own unique car and characteristics.

Hotshot Racing has 16 tracks to race in that features various locations, from coastlines to mountain passes, and even the jungle.
