6.Rankings---------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ranking is an option that tells you where you stand against the best racers
in the city. You will be #1 in each of the four categories by the end of the
game. But you have to win to move up and when you move up you get rewards
like magazine covers, special parts, and it even unlocks some things
depending on what happens.

-Circuit-The best of the best in lap races.
-Sprint-The best of the best in fastest to the finish.
-Drag-The best of the best shifters.
-Drift-The best of the best driving skills.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.Driving Instructions---------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One of the most important things of this game is knowing the basics of speed
racing. You need to know transmissions and turns to win at this game because
it will kill you if you don't especially in drag and drift modes. The
following will teach you how to get better and better at driving to where
you leave the other racers in your dust.

*_*_*_*_*7.1 Mastering Manuel Transmission / Turning Correctly.*_*_*_*_*
Manuel Transmission is one of the hardest things to master in or out of drag
mode. I recommend to the people who go threw the game for the first time to
do auto transmission until they beat the game or get a very good feel for
Their cars shifting zone in drag races. First off I recommend staying with
1 or 2 cars the whole game because each car is very different when shifting.
You should go to quick race and just do drag races with your car for a while
until you get how to shift in the exact place you car needs it. For example
each time you do a perfect shift you get a little more push and you don't
get that with auto transmission. It's always perfect when it's a close race
because it decides the race. Every time you shift up it is essential to hit
that mark for up to half a second gain on your opponent. When you are
turning corners you should always downshift at least one gear or you will
hit the way and lose up to two more gears and then that gives your opponent
the chance to get by you and get a lead before you can recover from hitting
the wall. Then after downshifting once (twice if you are going 150mph or
faster buy you should be the judge) quickly up shift perfectly to get back
to your original speed so you don't lose precious time to your opponent.

*_*_*_*_*7.2 Using Auto Transmission Wisely*_*_*_*_*
Auto is a lot easier and there is not as much to learn as there is to manual.
You need to know that you will never be as fast and manual will get you but
it lets you concentrate on things like your opponent, other cars (I hate the
white trucks), using your nitrous, and turning. You also recover from
crashes, bad turns, and slow downs a lot slower than you would with manual.
The downside is speed, but the upside is not worrying about shifting all
the time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8.Drag Mode--------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drag mode can be your friend or your worst enemy. You just need to know what
you are doing and you should be fine.

*_*_*_*_*8.1-Starting Correctly*_*_*_*_*
Starting correctly can be what determines the winner. For Example I started
head-to-head for the #1 spot in drag mode and I beat him by -0.00, because
I was head to head with him the whole race from start to finish.

So what you need to do is hold your rpm dial right where the green light is.
Blue also works better but you don't get off as quick. Green is good because
you get out quicker, you get more style points, and you have a better chance
of winning.

*_*_*_*_*8.2-Shifting*_*_*_*_*
Shifting is very important as I explained above in section 7.1. You need to
try and get a good or perfect shift every time or it will be a very hard race.
Each time you under or over shift it will slow your car down and will make it
twice as hard to catch up to where you were. Also every time you do that it
takes longer to get to where you need to be to shift to the next gear. If you
can manage to get all 5 perfect shifts and use up all your level 3 nitrous
then you could have a chance to get your car to top speed without blowing
your engine.

*_*_*_*_*8.3-Obcticles*_*_*_*_*
Obstacles can be very annoying indeed. They were the most frustrating things
in drag mode. There are so many things to watch out for in drag mode while
still worrying about driving. Here is a list of things that you need to watch
out for in general
>Speed
>Where Your Opponent(s) Are
>Engine Temp(Don't Blow Your Engine)
>Cars
>Walls
>Ramps
>Shifts / Gear
>Changing Lanes

*_*_*_*_*8.4-Using Nitrous Oxide Correctly*_*_*_*_*
You will need to decide when to use your nitrous. I prefer to use my nitrous
right when I enter fifth gear and use it all up because that automatically
can bring me enough speed to shift right into sixth gear and gain speed to
pass my opponents. Some people prefer to use it right at the beginning to
get a head start from everybody else. But it is up to you but remember you
don't have unlimited.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.Drifting---------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drifting is one of the most challenging things to master in the game but once
you get the hang of it, it is extremely fun. There are some things you need
to learn to get a lot of points and win easily and practice to get better and
better for the number 1 spot in the rankings.

*_*_*_*_*9.1-Starting*_*_*_*_*
Starting out is easy because its like any other race you just need to get a
good start to get you going around that first corner for an easy 5,000 points.

*_*_*_*_*9.2-Simple Drifts*_*_*_*_*
Simple Drifts are the easiest thing for beginners to practice. Look at the
diagram below to see what you need to do.

To make a right angle turn or 90 degrees like so.
---------------
l     /_______
l    / l
l      l
   ^

The ^ is you and the / is where you need to start to make the turn. To get the
biggest angle you need some good speed and then right before the corner start
to turn and do the following.
1.let off the gas
2.hit the emergency brake / hand brake (R1)
3.turn to the right hard
4.quickly put the gas back on and continue to turn hard right.

Make sure you don't hit the wall or you will lose all the points for that turn.

*_*_*_*_*9.3-Obtaining Sharper Angles*_*_*_*_*
Just make sure you don't hit a wall and don't use the hand brake as long when
making turns.

*_*_*_*_*9.4-Linking Drifts*_*_*_*_*
When you are linking drifts you need to be going very fast and just make
smaller angled turns when you are on the straight aways.

*_*_*_*_*9.5-Tips*_*_*_*_*
>Don't Hit The Walls
>Watch You Speed

*_*_*_*_*9.6-Easy Style Points*_*_*_*_*
Follow These To Get Around 125,000 Each Time You Do Drift
1.Go To Quick Race
2.Choose Drift
3.Choose Drift Track 6 If You Have It
4.Choose 10 Laps
5.Choose Easy Computer Level
6. Do Your best You Also Get Practice.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10.Reptation.------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*_*_*_*_*10.1-What is it?*_*_*_*_*
Reputation is the style points multiplier. It shows how rare your car is and
how popular it is.

*_*_*_*_*10.2-What does it do?*_*_*_*_*
It takes your style points at the end of each race and multiplies it by
2,3,4, or 5 depending on how many stars you have.

*_*_*_*_*10.3-How do I get more stars?*_*_*_*_*
You need to add more rare parts such as level 3 or unique parts to raise the
reputation bar.

*_*_*_*_*10.4-Maxing it out*_*_*_*_*
I have a level 3 and or unique part possible for each area and I have maxed.
You just need to unlock everything and use them to fill it up.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11.Style Points----------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*_*_*_*_*11.1-What is it?*_*_*_*_*
Style points are points that you earned for doing special things in races.

*_*_*_*_*11.2-What is its purpose?*_*_*_*_*
The more points you get the easier it is to unlock certain things like
vinyl's and hidden cars.

*_*_*_*_*11.3-Obtaining More Points*_*_*_*_*
Get a better reputation to multiply the amount of style points you earn at
the end of each race.
