I think that's what takes the longest for people to learn "slow is fast" because I'd rather see other people gunning it around the track, sliding through turns etc. while I cruise still keeping up with them, then pass at the end of the race when my batteries still have voltage, and theirs are dead. Even if you are in a race with 9 other cars, yours is the only one you should be concerned with, you will get passed by faster drivers, but dont try to pass them back, because chances are you'll crash from pushing the car too hard, and not knowing what to do when it begins to slide.
