Game Tips:

Tip 1:

The Race Engineer is a great resource for the terminally unmechanical, if--and only if--you can
effectively translate what the car is doing out there before answering his questions. And remember, he won't make your car perfect--just better.

Tip 2:

In the Controls menu, lean toward linear steering for road courses with tight corners, and nonlinear for ovals and road courses with big sweeping turns.

Tip 3:

Check what's going on in front of you. And we don't mean just 100 feet in front of you; we mean as far down the track as you can see. This is where you'll see people doing stupid things such as crashing or slowing for no apparent reason. If you see them early enough, you might be able to avoid them
