Using Other Drivers to Your Advantage hints and tips for NASCAR Kart Racing

Using Other Drivers to Your Advantage

Other drivers can be used in several different ways to do better in races.

- At the beginning of the race, you can use boosts gotten by quickly pressing the drive button before the green light to place yourself directly in front of them. Because the other CPU drivers seem to get a speed advantage at the beginning of races, you can let drivers run up against the back of your kart to catch their momentum and not fall as far behind. However, be careful not to hit the sides of their cars during the beginning of the race, as they will almost always win and spin you out when you enter a Grind with them.

- T-boning other karts will not enter Grind mode, and do not count as hard objects. If you overshoot a turn or take some of the jump shortcuts on tracks like Bristol, you can run directly into the side of other racers (or even your partner) to keep your momentum and quickly straighten out.

- When a driver is spun out, either by losing a Grind, being hit by certain powerups or track hazards, you can run directly into them in order to make them spin out longer, and on tracks without edges you can force them off the track. This does not work on drivers who are flipping instead of spinning (I.e. From being hit by Dynamite), and hitting drivers that are flipping will cause them to match your speed and stay ahead of you, so go around them when this happens. This can also be used to your advantage to negate Dynamite, by having other drivers run into the back of your car.

- Your partner makes a great shield against the Rocket attack. Try to keep them behind you for as long as possible so that they take the hit.

- You can get directly behind another driver and use the Oil Slick powerup to immediately inflict it on them. This can be timed so that they miss jumps and turns with open edges. .
