~Need For Speed
A couple of quick driving tips.
■ 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.
■ The handbrake will allow you to do controlled slides around
corners. Never use it though when travelling at high speeds.
■ 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!
■ Learn the way each car controls, by making use of the Time Trials.
■ The computer opponents will normally always take the racing line
to watch them, to gain advantage for later racing.
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Especially on the open tracks, keep an eye on the map, as your
memory might decieve you, into thinking what there isn't !!
■ The use of manual transmission can help to slow you down and allow
you to take corners easier.
■ Use the mirror with the inside car view and you can then make good
use of the mirror to block cars trying to overtake.
