Ok after coming in first in the first two races in 200cc I've come up with some conclusions... 1. boosting is a VERY bad idea unless it's a mini-boost on a straightaway, if you go too fast on the turns you'll go flying off the track best to take the turns normally or pumping the brakes. 2. When they say that braking is crucial THEY ARE NOT KIDDING!! (braking is done with the b button btw)
