Learning the Tracks
  This isn't too difficult considering the fact that the map of the track is
  always on the screen.  They also give you a warning when you are approaching
  a turn.  However, learning the track is one key strategy to winning any
  race.  This will help you prepare for each turn and learn the key passing
  points for each track.

Passing
  Be careful for those other cars on the tracks.  Don't do something stupid
  such as hit them when they are easily avoidable.  If you hit them, you will
  slow down and feel shame for your mistake as everybody else speeds off.  I
  suggest passing them on straightaways where you have time and don't have to
  worry about turning while passing other cars.

Turning
  Turning is fairly difficult in this game and requires a bit of practice.
  For the most efficient turning, you should practice racing "the line."  What
  this is, is the fastest line around a turn. This requires you to start on
  the outside of a turn, for example start on the left hand side for a right
  turn.  While in the middle of the turn, you should be on the inside.  While
  exiting the turn, you should be on the outside again.  That line will allow
  you to take the turn at a faster speed which will also give you a greater
  corner exit speed.

Upgrades
  Look at the track before you race it and choose your upgrades accordingly.
  For example, a track with a lot of turns would need better tires.  You could
  remove upgrades and use them in another category whenever you'd like to.
  I suggest practicing each track with all sorts of upgrades to see what you
  like best before actually going through the game because you only get one
  continue if you don't win.

As you progress through the game, you could upgrade your vehicle.  You start
off with six upgrades to pick as you'd like.  The components you are allowed to
upgrade are your engine, tires, brakes, and turbo.  I suggest starting with
your engine and tires.  With those, you could go fastest and make turns
quicker.  After those I suggest nitros so you could get extra speed bursts and
then you should go for new brakes. You will gain one more upgrade point every
three races.
