Hello Cara and all, I've made more progress. I have unlocked Anna, though I can use the map okay if I need to. Reverse by default is left trigger right? At the default festival place I always get stuck there every single time. Even though all assists are on, how can I help the assist to steer and minimize that from happening? On a side note, I keep finishing second in On a Wing and a Prair. Any tips on winning it so that Anna doesn't keep freaking taking me there when i use her instead of the map? Thanks.
