To get the best start, you want to get it close to the top right when the race starts. If the meter is in the red, your tires will just spin. You could get a great start if you get it close to the top once it starts, you could start the race at 40+ mph. -------------------- Turning -------------------- Turning is easy but there's just a few things that need to be pointed out. If you press the accelerator or the brake, you will slide as you turn. You won't slide if you just let go of the accelerator. Learn to use this trick because it could help you get through traffic on a turn. -------------------- Traffic -------------------- Traffic could be a bit difficult to pass at times. It's easy if there is one car, just go around them. If there are two cars side-by-side, and in a tunnel, then slow down and wait for a break to appear between the cars where you could fit in. If they aren't in a tunnel, then gas around the cars to the side. If they are in a turn, brake so you don't hit them. -------------------- Transmission -------------------- There are two types of transmissions. One is automatic and the other is manual. Automatic is easier. Manual is a little harder but it keeps you busy. For automatic, the gears will shift "automatically." For a manual, you will have to shift "manually." To shift press L or R. R will shift up and L will shift down. You will have to shift up, when the RPM meter on the right reaches the red area. Shift up there to keep gaining speed. If the meter is far to the left and bottom, then shift down. -------------------- Rally -------------------- *Reach the finish line within the time limit and beat your opponent to it. These can be a bit difficult at times. Get good at passing traffic. Sometimes there will be two cars side-by-side in a tunnel. When you encounter these situations, you will have to slow down until there will be a hole in between the cars. If they are side by side on the road, go around both of them. Keep racing and get to the finish line ahead of the car. -------------------- Grand Prix -------------------- *Place at least fourth to win this challenge. This is basically a race around the track twice. Just keep speeding as much as you can and don't hit the other cars. -------------------- Extra -------------------- *Reach the indicated speed before the finish line. These are always different but they are fun to do. Just do whatever they say. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. - Track Layouts [CV.03] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **************************************** * 1953 Tracks * **************************************** -------------------- Rally -------------------- You will go down a fairly long straight and you will enter a quick right turn.
