Easy Drift Points
Added on

Some of the downhill drift races have houses with looping drive ways that you can drive in. Drifting in these driveways gets a lot more points than on the street because you are so far off the road and are not hitting a wall.
Go into Quick Race mode and select the Subaru Impreza with all extreme or level 3 performance parts. You may style the visual as desired, Then, choose Drift Track 6 and 10 laps with easy opponents. Drive through the middle of the track. When you are just before a corner, press the handbrake. Release it after you have slightly slid. Your car will soon almost spin and will drift through easily. Continue through the rest of the track by swerving on the straights and using the handbrake properly on the corners. You can get about 50,000 to 500,000 drift points at the end of the race.

There are five stages, and as you complete each of them you can go back and repeat the races again. You may even find that there are some races you missed. These are the ones that you want to race. When you go to these, you are not supposed to get anything for them but you can change that. To access these races, go to your garage, then your world map, and select a race. When the race begins, pause game play and restart the race. Notice that there is an option to return to world map, however after you restart it will not be there. You can now race and get bank for it.

When racing for magazine covers, unique performance or visual parts, it helps if you have both NOS bottles filled. This can help you beat that tenth of a second that you have always missed. It also helps, especially in the more difficult and longer stages, with small time limits, to immediately activate the GPS as soon as you have accepted the challenge. Additionally, to get the best drag times, hold NOS even through shifts. Tapping it does not work. Also, to get best times you must have a perfect launch. Use the Right Analog-stick to hold it in green. Once you tear out, if you need to get your tach up, tap NOS, but once in 2 to 5, hold NOS until you cross the finish line.

In the career mode menu, go to the world map. Select any race that has not been completed in any stage. Once the race has started, pause game play and restart. After you have won the race, a screen will appear showing you how many reputation points and how much bank you have won. You will then go to the menu that asks if you want to return to explore mode, restart, etc. When this appears choose "Return To Main Menu". You do not have to save the game. Then, just go back into the career menu and select the "World Map" option again. Choose another race that has not been completed and start it. If done correctly, all of the races in the world map will be against three Toyota Corollas or a mixture of Hummers, Escalades and Navigators. If you restart these races, you will always get money if you win.
Collecting the little information logos around the city gives you money. You will receive $25 for each one. Additionally, listen to the other racers that periodically talk to you. They will say a general location in the city where you can find hidden races not shown on the map that are worth $850 instead of the usual $300.
As soon as you start the game, ignore Rachel's request to go to the car lot. Instead, try to collect as many information icons as possible. This will give you that little extra money to start modding your car, and will save time as you do not have to look for them in your initially slow car. Also, enter the two races shown on your GPS (circuit and sprint races). Going in these two races will give you at least 500 points in the bank. You should receive a message to get to the car lot now. Do so, and continue playing the game.
Enter career mode and go down to the Burger King and Best Buy area. Drive around and look for a stone wall and alley by the town shops. Go into the alley and turn sharply to the right. There will be a parking lot where an opponent will be sitting. He will not be appear on your navigation map, nor will you. You can challenge this opponent to an easy outrun. He will always drive towards the stadium. After you beat him, return to the parking lot where two red info messages will appear. Get them for $25 each. After you collect them, go into a garage, shop, etc., and save the game. Then, go back to the parking lot. Five green money bags will be there. Collect them, jump to the garage (on the main menu screen) and return for five more. This will get you money much easier than racing.
In career mode, eventually you will get sponsored and there will be purple crosses on the map. If you go to them, they are usually a sponsored circuit race. If you win them, you will get $900.
When you start with Rachel's car, do not take it back immediately. Instead, do some outruns and races to get money. You will then have a boost of money when you get your own car.

Easy NOS Recovery
Added on
2006-11-05 at 21:57:37
To get lots of NOS easily, when you are standing still, hold the hand brake (R). Next, hold the gas, then hold Left or Right. You should spin around and create smoke. This should give you 300 points instantly to recover turbo boost.
To fill your NOS gauge when you have hydraulics, flip any car or SUV and hold A for about two seconds. Then, press any button to activate the hydraulics. Immediately, the word "Hydro" will appear on the right hand side of the screen with a number underneath. The number should continue to rise and not stop. To stop doing this, release A and press Back to flip the car back over, starting with a NOS gauge filled to the overflow gauge.
When you are on the ground, activate hydros and keep flicking the Left Analog-stick Left repeatedly to get lots of points for filling your NOS bar. You can also do about three donuts, then wait and do another three donuts.
Get on the highway and drive in reverse. After a few seconds you should begin racking up points on the right side of your screen. These points will give you extra NOS. Note: Crashing into traffic at high speeds will reduce your NOS.
If you run out of NOS in free roam mode, press Start and select "Jump To Garage". As soon as you can, exit garage mode and you should have full NOS. Note: This only fills up the first tank.
Use the following trick to get extra NOS at the beginning of a race. When the girls are up front waving their hands, tap NOS to perform a "spray show". This should give you a little extra NOS.
Go to any shop. Enter the shop, then leave it. You will have a full tank of NOS. You can also recover NOS by doing one of the following things:
Sprayshow: Purge your nitrous. Traffic Hit: Penalty from hitting traffic. Lead Lap: Lead a lap in the race. Clean Section: Make it through an entire race section without hitting anything. Clean Lap: Make it through an entire lap without hitting anything. Shortcut: Take a shortcut. Avoid Accident: Almost get in a wreck with another car. 360: Perform a 360 or a doughnut while driving. Best Lap: Score a best lap during a race. Head Start: Get off the starting line the quickest. J Turn: Drive in reverse and swing the car around to drive away forwards. Burnout: Spin the tires. Leap Frog: Jump your car over a traffic accident. Hydro Bounce: Bounce your car using level 3 hydraulics.

Easier Turns in URL Races
Added on
2006-11-05 at 21:56:22
Notice that before the sharp turns during the URL races, there are a set of numbers that countdown to 1. Follow those numbers to perfect your sharp turn into a groove to speed through faster. Keep accelerating until you reach "1", then slam on the brakes and turn. Once perfected, this can help you get through the turns with more speed. Additionally, in URL races, the CPU will try to spin you a lot. Whenever your car slides to an 30 to 60 degree angle, use your NOS and turn.
Some turns in URL races do not require brakes. Notice that the angles of some of the turns are kind of rounded. If you have the speed, you could go right into the wall and make the turn. As long as you are going about 130 mph and hit these certain corners, you will only go down to 100 mph or so. You have to experiment with the turns. Sometimes you will go too fast and flip, and other times you will fly through the turns going 100 mph while the CPU cars slow down, giving you some cushion time. Remember, you must get up against the wall for this trick to work.
In the first few laps, you will most likely be behind someone. When you are going on a turn, they will probably slow down. This is where you can turn the tables on the entire race. Do not slow down. Instead, keep going and use him as a wall to get the inside of the turn without applying the brake. As a bonus you may also get him to stop in an attempt to shake you, but this will only result in getting you a good lead. Note: You must make sure he does not ram you into the wall.
In the Underground Racing League, when you get to a corner, do not go in at full speed. If the turn is at 45 degrees or under, you have a chance of going in and just clipping the outside wall. However when you start the race, stay in the back and do not try to get to first place immediately. Make sure you stay fairly close to the cars in front. When you reach the corner, floor the accelerator and put in full throttle. If done quick enough, you should see the cars about to turn the corner. At this point you should just be close enough to clip the rear left or right bumper. Because the CPU cars slow down on the corner, you do not necessarily need to. When you go into it, the car in front will act as a guide around the corner. Go round the apex of the corner and slowly release the Analog-stick, and keep on the accelerator out of the corner to get into third, second, or first place.

Winning an Outrun
Added on
2006-11-05 at 21:55:25
Once you have found an opponent to outrun with, get in front of the opponent and get in the lead. Get as far as possible until the distance meter has reached its limit. If the distance meter starts to drop, it indicates that the opponent is catching up. When this happens, do a handbrake skid and turn the car around. Go back the way that you came from. The opponent will follow you as you are the one in lead, but he will take time to catch up, giving you an advantage to win the outrun.
If you are in front of an opponent but cannot seem to lose him, head toward the center of the city (the area that has the five fountains). Once there, weave through the fountains. Your opponent will most likely crash into one of the fountains, giving you an easy win. Note: Practice going through the fountains first before you attempt an outrun so you do not lose your money. It is easier to do this in an SUV because it will not reach a high speed before you reach the fountains.
Find an outrun opponent then get right behind him. Draft him or her so that you can get a full tank of NOS, if desired. Then, start to spin out your opponent. You can do this by getting directly next to the car and turning into its back corner. While it is sideways or backwards, you can hit press Up to start the outrun. You will have a large head start because your opponent needs to turn around. You can win in under 15 seconds by doing this.
This trick requires that most of the city is unlocked. Get your car and get on the highway that leads around in a oval-like way. Challenge people on the highway for a much better chance of winning, since top speeds are better and there are less turns than the normal roads (so you do not slow down as much).
This trick requires a fast car. Find someone that you can outrun. Get on the same road as them. Get a lot of speed and get behind them. While you are going a lot faster than the opponent, rear end them. When the cars start to crash (and perhaps do flips), quickly tap Up to challenge them. Then, press Back so that your car resets and the other one crashes or does flips. If you have NOS, you can use it to win faster. It is possible to win in 7.15 seconds.
This trick requires a fast accelerating car. Drive to the airport where you first start the game, Next, find an opponent to race. While racing the opponent, make sure you get into the lead then go onto a little ramp the leads to a road just alongside the airport. After going down that road, you should be at an intersection where you can go left or straight. Take a left turn, then go straight down that road, which should be a parking lot. Once your opponent tries to catch up to you and gets close to the intersection, he will go straight instead of turning. This will give you a large lead and an easy win.
Start race with a full bar of nitrous. Come up from behind your opponent and draft until the nitrous is full, then do a tailspin maneuver. Do this by clipping the back bumper of your opponent, which sends them into the wall or in reverse. They will end up facing the wrong direction, giving you the advantage.
Find an opponent and draft behind them until you have full NOS (for backup, if you have at least a dryshot installed). When it is full, pull up next to them. Wait until you can challenge them, then start it. Then, ram your opponent at the rear tire. Keep pushing and to cause them to wipe out and stop, or crash into a wall. Then just drive off on a long straight road and use your saved up NOS. If you do not win it, you will at least have a very nice lead.

Rear Wheel Drive Wheelie
Added on
2006-11-05 at 22:04:35
This trick requires a real wheel drive car with level 3 hydraulics. Start with your car in neutral. Double tap then hold the R to engage the hydraulics. Hold Left Analog-stick Up to begin bouncing the front end of the car. In mid-bounce, release R, but keep holding the Left Analog-stick Up. The car will keep bouncing. Press the Right Analog-stick Forward to rev up the engine, then shift into first gear, while still holding Forward on both of the Analog-sticks. Your next hydraulic bounce will be delayed in the air while the car does a rolling burnout, causing your car to do a wheelie. This is great for showing off for the cover shoots of magazines.
This trick requires level 3 hydraulics. Tap A(2), then hold A. Press Left Analog-stick Forward while still holding A. Release A while holding Left Analog-stick Forward. Release the Left Analog-stick and the car should still be bouncing on its front wheels. If so, hold the R to accelerate and the car should pop a wheelie for about 10 to 15 feet.
