- The AI is extraordinarily willing to knock you the fuck out of the way, and in almost every race there's no penalty for their doing so. Do not get between an AI car and their chosen line, or they'll sweep right across and send you spinning. Speaking of collisions, in the Touge race, get ahead of the other car, then force them to ram you. They'll take a huge time penalty, which will allow you to take the rest of the race carefully and win on time. This is especially useful in the East-meets-West Viper vs. Honda or whatever challenge, because the Viper is heavy as shit. | - The AI is extraordinarily willing to knock you the fuck out of the way, and in almost every race there's no penalty for their doing so.

The cars may not be realistic, but they do tend to be consistent, so learning how to handle a car once, well, will usually set you for future races. | ||
- Try to stay out of the way of the A.I., because they'll slam into your shit and send you hurtling off the course at a million miles per hour at a moment's notice. This also goes for your wingman/backup driver. | - Try to stay out of the way of the A.I., because they'll slam into your shit and send you hurtling off the course at a million miles per hour at a moment's notice.

- The physics are unrealistic, but largely consistent. The good thing is that you can learn how to drive the cars and do cool shit with them. The bad thing is that you don't get good with them by expecting them to behave like real cars. | - The physics are unrealistic, but largely consistent.
