You can choose one of several broom models. Each of them will cost 600 Coins, and the only difference between them is the looks. Your flight speed and handling won’t be determined by the broom model you’re using, so feel free to choose the broom you like the most.

When you start the race, you’ll need to go through the rings and reach the goal as fast as possible. Bear in mind that your race time will be penalized for each ring you miss. It is also worth noting that your Speed Burst Meter will be refilled whenever you pop any of the yellow bubbles, which will allow you to significantly increase your speed.

Once you beat Imelda’s time, head back to Albie Weekes and tell him about your race. He’ll thank you for the information.

Not long after you complete “Percival Rackham’s Trial”, you will receive a quest called “Sweeping the Competition”. You’ll need to go back to Albie Weekes and purchase the first broom upgrade for 1000 Coins.
