When to choose it
8th Gear: Adds 5 maximum speed.
Choose this +5 maximum-speed bonus when normal driving and repositioning are too slow. Unlike a nitro-only boost bonus, its effect does not require holding boost.
Pairings and trade-offs
More speed still needs turning space. Compare the other Gear for the size of the maximum-speed bonus, or V8 and V10 when you mainly need a short burst during nitro use.
