~Need For Speed 

A couple of quick driving tips.


þ Some turns are best taken at lower speeds.  Apply brakes, downshift 
  or handbrake are good ways of taking corners quicker and better.
  You'll see a much improved in your car's handling.

þ The handbrake will allow you to do controlled slides around 
  corners.  Never use it though when travelling at high speeds.

þ Holding the gas down all the time is a sure way to lose.  To 
  take a tight turn at high speed (like the final turn in Autumn 
  Valley) you can simply crank the steering wheel at the beginning of
  the turn like normal, and while it's held there, just quickly tap 
  the handbrake button.  The car will go into a nice easy slide and 
  the nose will swing around to face into the turn for a perfect 
  recovery.  And if you do it well, you won't lose too much speed 
  either!  

þ Learn the way each car controls, by making use of the Time Trials.

þ The computer opponents will normally always take the racing line
  to watch them, to gain advantage for later racing.

þ To get the maximum speed around a corner, position your car 
  correctly so you can cut deep in to it and then have enough drift
  to begin accelerating before exiting.

þ Get a good start and pass as many cars as possible as you can, as
  this will make life easier once your fighting for the higher 
  placings.  The best way to do this is to keep revs high in the 
  neutral and then change into first gear when the green light shows.

þ Especially on the open tracks, keep an eye on the map, as your 
  memory might decieve you, into thinking what there isn't !!

þ The use of manual transmission can help to slow you down and allow
  you to take corners easier.  

þ Use the mirror with the inside car view and you can then make good
  use of the mirror to block cars trying to overtake.
