Hints

Avoid Getting Busted

To avoid getting busted by the police, when "Busted" appears, press R1 until the busted sign disappears.

Smoke Show

Take any powerful car with a manual transmission and drive in reverse until you are near the red zone. Then, drive forward. It is supposed to go burning. Just use the handbrake and it will not stop screaming. For the smoke show itself, brake after the hand brake. Hold both buttons until you stop and your car will not stop spinning.

Character Motions

If you look closely, your character Dennis Black, may do some strange things while driving. At the beginning of a race and after the light turns green, Dennis may give you the "thumbs up". Also, in midair after going of a jump, he may release the steering wheel or flail his arms around. This also happens if you are in a particularly hard impact.
