-------- Tip 1:
------
The game's horrendous wheel spin modeling means you
will almost always lose positions off of the start,
no matter how well you feather the throttle.
To minimize this, don't let the revs exceed 10,000 RPM
when the red lights go out, and don't feed on full power
until your speed is more than 60 miles per hour. Tip 2:
------
On a similar note, do not apply any gas whatsoever after
you spin or slide off the track.
You can turn perpetual doughnuts in sixth gear with a half
ounce of throttle pressure (even while still on the pavement),
so you must be patient and get the car rolling by using only
idle-level RPMs. Tip 3:
------
Select the softer compound tires (D2 for dry weather, W3
for wet weather) for all races.
The wear factor is so minimal that, even in a full-distance
race, the tires will probably last at least until the
halfway mark. Tip 4:
------
Although the garage menu offers some user-friendly car
adjustments to experiment with, you don't always need
to use it. At many of the tracks, you can generally
snatch pole position with the default setups.
