Avoid being at the near end of a race without nitro, or it could cost you an almost assured victory. -Combine use of Nitro and handbrake. When entering a curve preceding a straight line, steer a little, synchronize with the handbrake, then accelerate in the stretch while using nitro. This technique is extremely useful to pass by tricky radars. -It is also possible to get good skids on large and medium turns by pressing the nitro before entering the curve, then releasing it when entering the turn. ------------------------------------------------ Miscellaneous This demo will work best with the latest graphic cards drivers, especially if in Direct3D.
