During breaks between races Marcus will have to look around for parts, which will allow him to increase the power of his go-kart.
Important - Before you start this mission try to unlock additional Botnets. They will be useful when utilizing nitro during the races.
Meet Taylor and begin your first eKart race. During the race (and all future races) try to avoid crashing into tires, railings and other elements of the environment, as they can knock the go-kart off of the track or stop it entirely. You can use the nitro in order to help your situation, however, you should only do so on long, straight sections of the track and save your supply of Botnets, which are needed in order to use nitro, until the end of the race.
