3 Tips for Beginners to Obtain an S License with a Moto Racer

[A Must-See for Beginners]
3 Tips to Earn the S License in Moto Racer

There are a total of three licenses in Moto Racer, depending on your time.
The first is the B license, which you get for completing the course. The second is the A license, which you can obtain by achieving a lap time between 37.9 and 36 seconds. And the third is the highest rank S license, which you get by breaking the 35.9-second mark!
Here, let's introduce three tips for obtaining the S License.

  • POINT 1

    Run inside the course

    To obtain the S license, be sure to focus on running as close to the inside of the course as possible, taking the shortest path between corners.
    By taking the shortest line like this, you can gain even a second on your time.
    Be careful not to run toward the outside line, as this will increase the distance you have to travel!
    Being conscious of the shortest distance will be the most important point above all.

  • POINT 2

    Be aware of leaning the bike rhythmically according to the corners

    Moto Racer courses feature winding combination corners.
    Although this course may seem difficult at first glance, you can achieve the fastest times by rhythmically leaning the machine while cornering.
    Simply leaning the handlebars won't allow you to turn skillfully, so try to focus on leaning the entire body along with the machine.

  • POINT 3

    Minimize the brakes and accelerate fully to dash ahead!

    The most important thing to aim for an S License is to run with the accelerator fully open while minimizing the use of brakes.
    Adjust the brake pedal moderately according to the curves on the course, and make sure to gain speed on the straight sections.
    First, firmly grasp the Course Features of each track, and by clearly distinguishing between accelerator and brake operations, you will reach a major point in obtaining the S License.

The biggest challenge is the S-shaped corner from the back straight!

The line from the back straight to the S-curve is the most difficult section!
Since this is a series of right curves, focusing on the outside line causes time loss, and getting too close to the inside line makes it difficult to smoothly navigate the next corner.
Therefore, it is important to focus on the middle line as much as possible, rather than sticking to either the outside or inside line.
By driving straight, you can aim for the shortest distance through the S-curve line.
Being mindful of the shortest distance on each course is a key point to obtaining the S License, so please give it a try.

Children can achieve the fastest times!

Moto Racer bikes operate on batteries.
Therefore, the heavier the weight, the more energy is consumed, so adults tend to be slower.
However, if the weight is light like a child's, the speed will increase rapidly!
While enjoying the race together with mom and dad, your child can also experience the joy of "beating the adults!"

The Appeal of Moto Racers Revealed Through Interviews

The true appeal of Moto Racers lies in grasping the feel through repeated practice and achieving growth!
While it can be challenging for beginners to obtain the S License, by persevering and continuing to practice, you can definitely achieve results.
By accumulating such efforts and acquiring the S License, it will lead to a great sense of accomplishment for your child.
Not only competing for the best time, ・"The spirit to keep challenging towards your goal without giving up"
・"The courage to take a step forward"
・"The sense of accomplishment after persevering and giving your all"
These are some of the invaluable qualities for children's education that can be gained through Moto Racer, which I felt is its true appeal.

Summary

To obtain an S License with a Moto Racer, getting familiar with the course is the most important thing.
By practicing repeatedly, you can steadily improve your best time.
Through these experiences, you can greatly contribute to your child's growth,
so please give Moto Racer a try at least once.
