Save Money
OK, for this you need 2 mem cards. When you have about £500,000 save the game on both mem cards then exit and load your second mem card. Buy the car you want and do it right up then save the game. Then load you first mem card, Go into the garage and click on trade, trade with your second mem card and buy the car you just did up. It costs the same as when you bort it but you get all the upgrades e.g. tyres, turobs ect for free.

More speed with automatic transmissions
When racing with an automatic transmission, hold [R2] and you will get better acceleration. Release when the small red light to change gears flashes or the car will not change gears.

tMore speed by drafting
The following trick can only be done effectively on Test Courses and Super Speedway. When in last or behind a distance from a car, stay on his tail. You will gain speed, even if your car is going at its maximum. This can be very useful in pulling out last minute wins.

More speed by tagging
If you can catch up to the next car, tag his back bumper and you will be able to pass him. Tagging its bumper will give you an instant boost.

Quick start
At the beginning of a race (except for Endurance, Super License, and others without a countdown), do not rev your engine by holding [X]. Instead, wait until the countdown reaches "1". By the time it says "Go", you will have no white smoke from your wheels, no wheelspin, and a boost of about 0.2 seconds, which may make the difference in earning the Gold Trophy in a license test, or a quick head start as the CPU cars do not do this.

Better start from pits
While you are in the pits and you car is being lifted up to change your tires, press the gas and you will get a better start when drive off the pits.

Selecting series awards
Series awards (i.e., cars) are not purely random. Press [X] when a silhouetted car has the large black circle flashing under it to cause that car to be selected as the award for winning the series. Timing is crucial, since the large black circle only appears under a car for less than half a second. If you are too slow, the next car to get the large black circle will be selected.

You can get unlimited F1 cars by playing endurance races, as you can win prize cars from those races unlimited times. To select a prize car, press [X] when the black circle is under the car of your choice.

To get the series car of your choice, just race all the races in series mode, not single. Save before the last race. Do not exit the series -- use the save function shown after the race is done. Then, start and quit the last race. If you have enough points from previous races you should still win the series, then continue to where they award the series prize. If you get a car you do not want, just exit the game, go back to the title screen, then load. The game will start from the last race you saved at. Quit the last race then continue onto the series and repeat until you get the desired car.

Easy money

If you have a good car, go to the Amateur League and race in NA for 10,000 credits.

Get a fast car and race the Speedway in the Final Series Race in the Beginner League to win 10,000 credits.

Zoom:
At the car select screen you can hold the R1 button to zoom in on the available car. If you hold R1 + R2 you will zoom in even further (this will demonstrate the amazing ability of the PS2 to "push" graphics).

Easy race prizes
For example, the Tuscan Speed 6 series has 5 races in it. Make sure you have enough of points in the lead so you can quit the last race and still defeat the CPU on points. Race the first four races, then save before going into the fifth race. Enter the fifth (last race), then immediately quit. You can claim your prize. In that series the two prizes are the Griffith 500, or Cerbera Speed 12. If you do not get the desired car, just go to main menu, reload and repeat the previous steps Since the reload will take you back to the beginning of the fifth race, you can keep trying until you get the car you want.

Gears and turns
Next to the current gear the car is in on the HUD, you will occasionally see a red and sometimes flashing number. This number is indicating what gear you should be in when you make the next turn. Sometimes this is overcompensated by how you have set the gear ratios or the condition of the tires at the time, but for the most part, it is a pretty good indication of the speed you need to be at in order to make the next turn without hitting a wall.

Use other cars when turning
You can use other cars as "turning devices". As you know, you have to brake a lot on certain turns. If there is a car that is also turning directly next to you, put your car on the side of them and keep driving. If done correctly you will not have braked (except sometimes for timing), and the other car may have hit a wall.

Burn rubber
Get a car with over 300 hp and go to the test course to adjust your settings. Enter the race settings and go to far right setting with the two wrenches. Go to Active Stability Management and TCS Controller and turn them down to 0.

Wheelie
Note: This trick requires a car with 230 hp or more. Go to Seattle Curcuit 2 and drive over to the part of the road which goes down. Accelerate fully all the way to the last drop. Release the gas. When you are about to go down, slam on the gas. You should do a wheelie.

Get rid of limiter
If your car has been upgraded to the maximum, but it will still not go fast, go to Machine Test. When it shows you all the yellow icons, go to "Settings". Note: You must buy the Transmission-Full Racing for this to work. Keep going until you get to "Gear Ratios". Select the one at the very bottom. Change it so that the transmission is wider. Note: Make sure that your car has enough horsepower or it will go even slower.

License test lines
On the license tests, the dotted line indicates coasting, the blue line indicates acceleration, while the red line indicates that you should brake.

Easy gold on license
First, try the exam once then race your ghost. Hold [R2] button at the start and your car will not change gear. You can get some extra speed on the opponent when you release the button. Once the car reaches flatline, release [R2] after you get the initial extra speed.

To help get the Super License, at least complete the session, whether you win it or not and make sure your ghost is set to on. If a message appears asking if you want to "Update Ghost?", select "Yes". Next time, try that session. You will be racing a "ghost" car that will copy what you did on your best lap time. Try to defeat the ghost car and keep shaving time off of your laps until you win the test.

Arcade mode tracks
To unlock the arcade mode tracks, simply complete each area (A, B, C, D, and E).

Recommended tires
For any normal non-endurance race, select super soft race tires. They do not wear out on the track unless you see a tire meter on your screen. For endurance races, use the cheapest race tires. Though the screen says they have the least traction they will have enough after about two laps to keep you going quickly. Despite being the cheapest, they are in fact race tires and work much better than any street tire. You will benefit more by getting extra laps on a set of cheap tires then getting a few faster laps on the expensive tires, which will need more frequent changes. This will also save money.

Tire grip
When the tire meter appears in some races, tires lose grip progressively and you must pit. The less money you put into tires, the longer the tire lasts in the race.

Controlling MR tire grip
When you tune a MR (Mid Engine/RWD) car for absolute power, the rear tires heat up very quickly. Put a less expensive tread on the rear tires (for example, medium on the rear and super-soft on the front) for better grip and control, and less tire wear in a long race.

Tuning race cars
The race cars you win can be tuned to go faster. Always save the game before tuning or buying a car. If you do not like what you get, just reload.

Tuning drive trains
To get the most speed out of your car you have to get the most horses, however sometimes the transmission will keep you from getting to use all of it. Buy the Full Customization transmission. Now go to the settings either right before a race or at home. Change the settings of the last part of your transmission (the bar that has Sports on the left and Wide on the right) to all the way left. This will move your individual gear ratios. Next, go to the "Final" bar and move it as far right as it will go. Then, go to the next bar up and move it as far left as it will go. Do that to the remaining bars. When racing you will notice that your gears will shift extremely quickly, however, the bad starts will lead to every single horsepower being used. This is really only needed in high-powered cars that exceed 650 horses and should not be used in short races with competitors having equal power to your own.

Avoid going airborne
If you buy the Toyota Supra, Nissan Skyline, or any other car that has the capability of having around 1000 hp, do not remove any weight besides stage one. If you decide to remove weight, do not race the rally races with them, since they tend to get airborne.
