Race[]
In Hong Kong 3, racers engage in a three-lap circuit on a track identical to Hong Kong 1. Unlike the scenes in Moscow 3, this race is less likely to feature major pileups. Occasional pileups might be instigated by AI Rossi and Morgen during their attempts to overtake opponents. Rossi, despite his low starting position, is a persistent contender due to his unmatched Lap 3 speed, often challenging Xu for the top spot. However, he sometimes suffers from a glitch in Lap 3 where he becomes trapped behind the inner barrier at the loop.
With Indy cars exhibiting top speeds of around 220 mph, the beginner player might struggle with maintaining control if they accelerate excessively. Consequently, it's advised for the player to moderate their speed when attempting overtakes. Keeping a moderate pace will not delay the player's progress, given that the leading AI slow down to 167 mph in Lap 2 and further to 155 mph in Lap 3. By capitalizing on AI Rossi's slow start and staying well ahead of him by Lap 3, the player can substantially increase their odds of clinching victory.
