G TURBO
Charge it in a drift
Hold Space while turning and G Turbo charges with the angle you turn, from Lv1 up to Lv3. Release to fire it. Hold too long and it fades, so let go at the exit of the turn.

- You can see only the next ring and the one after it.
- If you pass a ring far away, go back for it or you can’t finish.

TECHNIQUES
Three ways to go faster
JUST
Thread the Just Ring
Every ring except the goal has a small white Just Ring at its center. Thread it for a JUST TURBO. During G Turbo or Boost, it extends your boost by one second.
BOOST
Your combo reward
Pass rings in a row to build your combo. Every 10 combo earns a Boost (up to 3), which launches you to about 520 km/h.
SPEED
Speed at a glance
There is no throttle; you cruise at a steady speed. Diving speeds you up and climbing slows you down. The harder you turn, the more speed you lose.
Cruise330km/h
G Turbo Lv3430km/h
