Strategies
Downhill
To reduce airtime in the most effective way while preserving a high amount of speed, players jump diagonally and tap release the acceleration key just before the car leaves the ground. The left-right manuever done also results in a car tilt (known as a ride trick) further reducing airtime.
Speedslides
There are two main speedslides done on the map. At the first turn, the player can approach the turn from a bit wider to perform an s4d - tapping brake to initiate a speedslide, just as the car hits 400km/h. Being at the minimum speed for a speedslide, this is very precise and therefore most players opt out of performing the first one.
Next, the player can position their car on the far right of the straight to set up for another s4d, this time at a higher speed. The speedslide is held until before the uphill.
Uphill
Just as the car reaches the uphill, players can momentarily steer, causing the back wheels of the car to regain grip on the ground earlier, thereby gaining speed. Then, before the car leaves the ground, a small ride trick can be done again.
