Tip: Having trouble speeding and turning on the grass? Then every time you try to make a tight turn throw the car into reverse and put it back into gear.If you time it just right,you can make a tight turn in seconds with out losing control of your vehicle!Note:Don't turn to hard,or you will lose control of your vehicle!Oh yeah,and if your wondering which vehicle is best for this process it's the Ford Mustang GT.

Tip: If you're finding traffic hard to navigate, get off the
road and onto the sidewalk. Most of the vehicles can drive
quite nicely on the sidewalks between the guardrails and the
lampposts, and you'll find a clear path (this works very well
out on Navy Pier). Also, don't worry about crashing into those
massive checkpoint posts on the sidewalk--they're invisible
(collision-wise) to your vehicle.

Tip: If you get into a bump-and-grind situation with an AI
car, you'll find yourself losing most of the tussles, even
if you have the bigger vehicle. The best tactic is to quickly
sideswipe the car, and then swerve away. If you time it right,
you can bump the car into oncoming traffic or a building.

Tip: The AI-controlled drivers always stay on the road,
which means that you'll have great opportunities to cut a
few corners here and there (remember, Chicago has plenty of
parks!). When you're off-road driving, slow down a bit and
try not to make any turns. If you try anything wild on the
soft grass, you'll probably spin out and lose any advantage
you might have gained.

Tip: To win a race, especially a Checkpoint race, you need to
know the course. Take on the course in one of the heavier
vehicles with no cops and limited traffic, and you'll maximize
your chances of making it through the course and learning all
of the possible shortcuts. You won't win, but you'll gain vital
knowledge that will help you when you go back into the race with
a performance vehicle and full obstacles in place.

Tip: Vehicle damage is your enemy! There are so many things to
hit during the course of the race that you'll often find yourself
with a wheelless, smoking hulk of a car before you can finish the
race. Try to save your damage points for when you really need them
(such as making that jump across Navy Pier) and avoid hitting too
many lampposts.
