Easier turns in URL races
Notice that before the sharp turns during the URL races, there are a set of numbers that countdown to 1. Follow those numbers to perfect your sharp turn into a groove to speed through faster. Keep accelerating until you reach "1", then slam on the brakes and turn. Once perfected, this can help you get through the turns with more speed.

Taking a nice photo shoot
Once you are in the photo shoot area, press [B], hold your hand brake [R], then rev the engine and press either [Left] or [Right]. The car should do donuts. While it is doing this, take the photo. This will give a smoky look on your wheels in the picture.

Keep other vinyls plus unique
Enter the graphics shop and put whatever vinyls you desire on the car and leave one space open. Exit and pay for it, then renter the shop. Put the unique vinyl that you desire in the empty slot. The shop will only show the unique, but when you leave the shop all the other vinyls will still be on the car, plus your unique.

Fast Start
As soon as the animation of the cars pulling up to the line is over hold A and hit up then down on the thumb stick. Let go of A and slam the R trigger down to get you motor rev'ing. If you've done the trick right you'll be put "back on the track" about 10 feet in front of the three other cars, and can take off at full speed. You'll get a head start bonus, and more importantly a GREAT head start! This trick only works on U.R.L., Sprint, and Circut races. It will put you off to the side if you are in the first starting position.
