A straight-line drag race decided mostly in the first second — a clean launch and well-timed early shifts matter more than anything that happens later in the run.

01
Shift just before the tachometer peaks, not after — a slightly early shift consistently beats a late one.
02
Focus practice on the launch itself; most of the time gap between racers opens in that first second.
03
If facing the same opponent again, note their shift pattern — a consistent AI can be out-timed on a rematch.
Check the settings menu — manual shifting is usually available even if automatic is the default.
If a garage screen exists, race earnings typically fund it — check the main menu.
