Space Race Simulator

Is the forest area of this game just meant to be this hard? I'm trying to make crashes into trees just to pick up the coins or put myself in a better lane, but these roads are so damn tight.
Not even using boost in this area. I can be at less than 100 kph and I still can't clear these corners.

Hmm forest area is indeed tough

I usually boost into the forest area, let myself crash into a right bend about 1/3 of the way, then proceed without boost and without further crashes. I didn't actually have any problems with the forest area, the next area has considerably harder turns.

Not sure what we're doing different. Are you trying to pick up at all the coins? I usually don't, it's not an efficient way to play this machine and depending on their placement, some of them seem impossible to get. The coins also don't respawn for subsequent laps. So the most efficient way to collect coins is to race for only one lap, grab all easy-to-get coins, then stop and start a new race.

You also don't get punished for leaving the track, as long as you manage to pass between the obstacles when leaving and re-entering it. Some turns are just too tight for staying on the road.

But generally I find this machine very easy to play. I can usually race indefinitely and always stay within the time constraints, I have to deliberately stop my car so that I can end the race and enter the shop to buy more upgrades. And I'm generally not a good player with this type of game (my reflexes certainly got slower with age). If I can "master" this machine, then I'm pretty sure that everyone else can do the same, it's probably just a matter of finding the right strategy. Feel free to ask more questions about mine.

That was the way I as going. I can boost enough where time isn't really an issue. I just feel bad not getting all the coins even if, as you say, it isn't an efficient way to play it.
