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.
