Damn, that's awesome. I'll probably never achieve that.
Any tips for pwning the competition?
The most important part is knowing your machine, and getting a feel for your energy management.
Blue Falcon for example is mostly fine with using 2 boosts per lap, Golden Fox should be nearly on fire every time you reach the charging area.
The worst you can do is overhealing your car, so use that boost button. That also means, be carefull about your super boost.
If your energy is full, and your super boost is close to full, boost if you can. Using the super boost doesn't uses your energy, so use the energy somewhere else.
Fire Stingray has to be more careful with boosts itself (since they don't regenerate that much), but the same princible applies. Wild goose has crazy max energy, so half life is more than enough anyways, but the regeneration is low too.
Do a practice run, and get a feel how many boosts you can do in a race, and where.
Being a bit more careful in Lap 3 is fine. It's better to go with high energy into lap 4, so you have your boosts available during the final lap, and have some energy to spare because the last lap is full with exploding red bumpers.
And if you can get a kill, go for the kill. Spin this smoker out of existence. Even killing a bumper NPC is nice in a single race, and awesome in a grand prix, because it increases your max energy cap, and killing a player can push you from a decent rank to a top one.
TL;DR:
Use your boost, don't overheal.
Oh, and don't even think about boosting IN the charging area, outside of the start itself. You want as much as heal as possible, so boost BEFORE.
