-Kudos Tokens are never an issue. -Turn off Flyby in Options before starting to skip the pre-race cutscenes. -Bonking a wall anywhere in the race saves two seconds from not getting the Clean Race Kudos bonus. Bonking one in the last section saves a further two seconds. Sideswiping the wall somewhere in the last sector of an otherwise clean race loses the least amount of time. -Street Race and One-on-One events can be run on steel, but IMO it's easier to overtake them on bronze. -Cone Challenge events should be run on steel. Go out of your way as little as possible to get cone gates. -Overtake events should be run on whichever difficulty has the lowest time limit. Platinum can be risky, though. -Timed Run and Hot Lap events should be run on steel. -Speed Camera events should be run on steel. Bonking a wall to skip the Clean Race can be tricky.
