HUD Tricks

• Be careful with boost activation, before entering a turn is not always a good idea
• Health affect how often boost  can be activated
• You can gain some speed by using riding on the half pipe in the turns
• Collision affect health and speed, so be careful you can't repair your ship in race and try not to touch other ship to maximize your speed
