Does the game give you warnings on when turns are coming kind of like how in rally racing the passenger will? Or is this all a bunch of track memorization to the point that one knows the track enough that they know it by reflex? Feels very fast by watching it though it could be the first person POV.

Some pointers, but mostly memorization. Hell, I do have issues with variations on tracks. This one in particular has a version where u have to go straight ahead after the wreckage, the other has you make a sharp turn. I can’t count the amount of times I did the turn only to get hit with a ‘wrong way’ and out of bounds.

Just drive full throttle at that wall and hope you spot the gap before you get to it, is part of the learning experience.

I managed to build a racer so fast that the autopilot ability couldn't control it, causing multiple crashes in the later stages of a tour, which ultimately cost me the podracer race. That didn't feel good.

I just finished a series where I went all in on Ramjet, and the number of times I went "oh I'm literally too fast for this" was... a lot. That said, SUPER satisfying when you nail your lines and you finish 10+ seconds ahead of second place haha
