Hint: Stick with the outside chase view until you have memorized every square
inch of the track you're running on. In addition to offering a much better
view of the road ahead, it also warns you of bike attitude problems (such as
the rear wheel coming off the ground under braking) before they have a chance
to send you ass-over-handlebar.
Hint: If you find yourself struggling to keep up on certain tracks, try to
follow one of the AI bikes for a lap or two. If that's still too difficult,
then run a quick race and save the replay. This way you can watch their
technique from a number of different camera positions and pick up some
valuable pointers. Just remember that the AI bikes sometimes follow a
different set of physical laws, so you won't be able to match their speed in
every section of the track.
Hint: Graduate to the manual transmission as quickly as your learning curve
will allow. You can squeeze out a noticeable amount of extra speed when you do
your own shifting.
Hint: Although you can crack off a few hot laps during qualifying rounds with
the softer tires, the key to success in longer races involves choosing and
managing the harder, more durable tire compounds. This is especially true when
the track temperature is quite hot. Keep the tire wear display turned on (F8
key) to constantly monitor the condition of your rubber.
