====================
--Choosing a Racer--
====================
There are a total of twelve drivers in the game. You will only start with seven
though. Try all of them out and see which one you like best. All of the cars
have the same speed, the only difference is their ability. Learn which ability
you like the most and use that car. Race a few races and see if there's anybody
that has an ability that you hate. You could also try driving with them so the
computer won't be able to use that ability against you. Such as using Fat Cat
because you don't like when he steals your money. A good beginner car is
Throttle's car. It gives you a boost in acceleration whenever you're going slow
enough. Use this just to learn how to turn. If you hit the wall, you will get
back to speed quickly. The only downside is, you can't take it slow for a hard
short cut. So I suggest using Throttle just for practicing turning. If you like
money and you just want to build up your car quickly, go with Fat Cat. If you
hate getting stuck in the smoke, use Spacewave. Or if you hate messing up
because of Stingray's ability, use her. Just use whoevever's ability you are
most comfortable with.s
====================
---Staring a Race---
====================
First we will see how you begin a race. At the very beginning, you will see the
lights set up. Watch them go from red, to yellow, to green. As fast as
possible, hit A once it turns green. The computer's times will be random but
they will be quick too. Try to learn how long it takes in between each light.
Try to hit A right when you think it will turn green. If you do that you could
get a time of 0.01 seconds. It's very difficult to do and needs a lot of
concentration but it's possible. Make sure not to press A too early though, or
you will start at the rear of the field.
====================
----Making Turns----
====================
There are a few different turns in tracks. The most common are ninety degree
turns. They could be made without letting go of the accelerator but you could
powerslide. Read more about powersliding in the next section. There are hairpin
turns that will only be able to be made by powersliding. If you don't
powerslide, you will just hit the wall. On very light turns, you could just
adjust your car. Don't make anything too drastic because it won't be needed and
could cause you to hit the wall.
====================
-----Powerslide-----
====================
Powersliding is a form of turning. It could be made by holding the brakes while
turning. You will make the turn quicker and you will gain a little bit of a
speed boost. This could be made around any turn but you don't want to use it
too often. It can be helpful but it can also mess you up. If you do it wrong,
you could just slide right into the wall making you slow down when you could
have just made it easily without powersliding. Try not to use it too much when
you are in a series of hairpin turns because you will find yourself sliding all
over the place. This takes a lot of practice to master so that's exactly what
you must do.
====================
-----Short Cuts-----
====================
Most short cuts will help you. However, there are a few that won't. Remember
what tires you're using and look at the other possible route. It might not be
that big of a short cut and it will be a lot worse if you don't have the right
tires. A good way of finding short cuts are to just go into practice mode. Look
around for anything that even looks like a short cut. Try it out and see how it
helps. There are also a few tracks with numerous routes. Take all of them and
see which one you are most comfortable with. The harder routes are usually
faster but you have to be good.
====================
----Buying Items----
====================
Your first impulse will be to buy engine upgrade after engine upgrade, or going
straight after weapons. That's not how you want to race. You should first get
the first engine and turbo upgrades. After that, go after tires. They help A
LOT. Buy the best tire of each category. After you have all of the GT tires, go
back to buying engine and turbo upgrades. After that, you should go for brake
upgrades. Then you could go for whatever you want. Then you have to learn which
tires to use. To learn more about tires, look in the next section.
====================
-----Conditions-----
====================
Different weather and track conditions are a key to success. Look at the
conditions before each race. First off, you want to look at the weather. If
it's raining, use rain tires. If it's snowing, use snow tires. If it's sunny,
you'll have to make a choice. It shows the track conditions in the same spot.
The condtion above the other (if there are two) will be more frequent. So you
will want to use tires for that condition. For example, if it shows pavement,
then dirt below, you will want Slick tires. If the dirt is above pavement, use
the dirt tires. If it only shows one, then choose whatever tire corresponds
with that condition.
====================
---Track Layouts---
====================
Look at the track layouts before a race. The color of the track will show what
condition it is. Gray would be pavement, dirt is brown, and snow is white. Look
at that and see where the most turns are in whichever condition. Use those
tires if you think you will need them to grip better. You should also look
where the roads are close because there could be a short cut there.
