* Go TURBO! - Floor it just as the nice annoucer man has finished saying
"ONE" and you get a great turbo boost a the start.
* Customize your car! - Use the settings button and go to the car
customization screen. Set BRAKES to 0, Set ACCELERATION and SPEED to
100. You want to go fast as you can. HANDLING and GRIP are the two
things you can play around with. Maximize your GRIP with enough
HANDLING to be able to make it around the corners comfortably. Try 60
for GRIP and 40 for handling on really windy tracks with tight
corners. You may even be able to do 80 GRIP and 20 HANDLING for fast
tracks with gentle corners.
* All cars are NOT created equal! - WHY NOT? Because that would be
BOOOORRRING! If you doubt that they differ try all of them out on a
single track. Try out each of the cars and set the attributes to
100/0/60/40/100. Burn around the track a few times and note the
relative speed. Also notice what happens with the car starts to Skid.
Does it fishtail out? Do all four wheels lock up at the same time? Do
you maintain control in a skid? My favorite is the Shivian
100/0/60/40/100 to 100/0/25/75/100 depending on the track. By that's
just me with my battered up joystick.
* Remove all obstacles - Some people have reported that if they Hit
CTRL-Y and restart the movable objects on the track don't always get
put back to where they should be. Maybe the track maintenance doroids
have gone on strike!. This bug is not reproducable on demand by
everyone but I include it in case you want to experiment. Might be
useful if you are recording ghost times and ya want to get those nasty
crates, barrels, cars and busses out of the way like on HQ, Sewer and
many other tracks.
* How to take a Pith - When ya really gotta go wee wee and yer car needs
some fixin, keep this in mind. Its not how many pit squares you go
under but how long you stay under them. I know some of you are saying
"DUH, I knew that!" but I thought I would mention it. If you have
noticed that sometimes you don't get fully fixed racing through the
pits at 200mph try slowing down a bit. Give those greasy monkeys time
to play with the wrenches. Oh yeah, garage code does not work under
multiplayer in case yer wondering.
