Use the WASD or arrow keys to drive - W/up for accelerate, S/down for brake/reverse, A/D or left/right to steer. Press Space for handbrake (essential for drifting), and C to switch between camera views. On mobile, tilt the device to steer or use on-screen pads.
Choose a car from the garage, then pick free-drive or a challenge mission.
Match Car to Map - The supercars dominate the highway; the rear-drive sports cars are far more fun on the hillside circuits where drifting matters. Use Handbrake to Initiate Drifts - Tap (don't hold) the handbrake when entering a corner to break grip, then countersteer.
Respect Damage - Hard collisions in this game actually slow your car down; a heavily damaged vehicle handles noticeably worse, so park and respawn for serious runs.
Learn the Camera Cycle - The cockpit view is satisfying for cruising but third-person is faster for racing because you can see corners ahead. Free Drive First - Drive the map casually before attempting challenges; knowing the layout makes timed missions trivial.
