Going faster here

The author lap averages 950 km/h across 24.23 km — above the car’s own top speed, which only happens when both nitro charges are spent somewhere that was already quick. There are 85 boost pads on this lap; each one is worth more on a straight than into a corner. The 5-metre corner is where the time goes: arrive slower than feels right and you will leave it faster.

Every race puts a full grid of recorded laps alongside you, and once you have set a time you race the ghost of your own best run as well. Beating your own ghost is the usual route from one star to the next.
