Need for Speed II/Getting Started

From StrategyWiki, the free strategy guide and walkthrough wiki

[edit] Top tips

If you want to get faster, follow these basic but important driving tips:

  • Don't crash into objects—an obvious one, but you'll also lose lots of time if you do.
  • Keep on the track—again fairly obvious, going offroad means lost time.
  • Don't start accelerating too early at the start of the race—Else you'll generate lots of wheelspin.
  • Don't corner too fast—else you'll crash (see i.)
  • Slow slightly when going over jumps—there may be corners, which you may miss and crash (see i.).
  • Don't weave—Weaving across the road takes longer than going in a straight line.
