DriftBoss Tips
01Flat-out is a losing strategy. Speed burns fuel faster than the pickups replace it.
02Plan a lane change around the next fuel can, not around the car in front.
03Easing off through a dense pack costs a place and saves the run.
04Coins are secondary. Never cross two lanes for one.

About Retro Rush
Retro Rush wraps a resource-management idea in an arcade racer: overtaking earns position, but every overtake costs fuel you have to pick back up on the road.
That tension is what separates it from the endless traffic dodgers it looks like.

FAQ
Why do I keep running out of fuel?
Because you are holding full throttle. Fuel drains with speed, so the fastest line is rarely the one that finishes.
Do coins do anything?
They accumulate toward unlocks. Fuel is the resource that actually decides a race.
Is it a race against other cars?
Yes — you start in traffic and need to overtake and then hold position to the end.
