Driver notes
Overtaking:
Make the most of the DRS zones on straights for effective overtaking. Just like in real F1, DRS activates when you are within a second of the kart in front.
Pro tips:
Mastering ERS: It’s crucial to deploy your ERS at the optimum times each lap to maximise its benefits and avoid wasting energy in less advantageous sections. The most advantageous time is under acceleration.
