The NRG is a powerful 'cycle so you have to worry about popping a wheelie when you don't want to and getting airborne when you're not straight. Lean forward to keep the front wheel down. | |||

If you don't enter the back stretch near the front of the pack you will have a hard time winning the race. Take care not to fall off the right side of the road here.

After Madd Dogg's there are a couple of airborne spots. Keep the vehicle straight and slow down a little. Also, stay to the right to avoid a utility pole. After that there is a bridge; you may get lucky and bounce into the right position ahead of your competitors. Or you might fall off the bridge at which point your race is all but over. | The vehicle here is part of the challenge; it's pretty slow to accelerate and the first turn is up the big hill near the Vinewood sign. Try to avoid collisions at the beginning and you should be okay at this point. | ||

In Rodeo there are a couple of quick turns, some of which the AIs tend to miss. Memorize the course and you can move into the lead for good here.

Keep your cool on the first dogleg turn around the island. Many of your competitors will crash there. Another spot to make up ground is the left turn past the hospital.
