A video showing that reckless power sliding awards much higher Kudos than careful driving (non Hot Lap / Timed Run courses). This is because Skill / No Penalty Kudos are 'fixed' and offer lower scores than Style Kudos. Therefore any penalty deductions (for hitting the sides or other cars) are more than made up by the excess Style Kudos you earn.
Chapter 17 - Event 6 (one-on-one challenge vs. Mitsubishi Eclipse '99)
Course: London - St James's Park - Medium - Birdcage Walk East II (St James' M-5)
My car: Nissan Skyline GTR (Manual Gears / No ABS)
Skilled and careful driving total. 25 second head start to opponent
Kudos score: 1281.8 (Skill: 112.9, Style: 368, No Penalties: 160. Joker played so score doubled).
Reckless power sliding. 60 second head start to myself
Kudos score: 3792 (Skill: 0, Style: 2216, Penalties: -320. Joker played so score doubled).
3792 vs 1281.8 is more than double so if you want record kudos scores, sadly this is the path you need to take. However if you are disciplined and aim for skilled, careful driving with a touch of style, I believe you will enjoy the game much more (just don't expect many kudos records).
Please note, due to a bug in the game (all versions), the record display screen does not show the 'Head Start' seconds given to the CPU or yourself. It will only display as 0.0s (no head start/head start given to CPU) or -0.0s (head start given to yourself)
