Get All Special Series Cars
Go to the main menu and type in R2, R3, X, L2, O, R2, L1.
Boost Start
At the very start of the race, keep the accelerator held down. Tap the brake button and your tyres should begin to smoke. Keep the accelerator pressed and release it right before "GO". A "Boost Start" message will appear and you'll start the race with a slightly filled Burnout Meter.
Allow a Pass
If you are low on boost and a rival is right behind you, slow down until he passes you. Then, get a takedown by making them crash. This gives you a lot of boost and guarantees they won’t come back on you at the end.
Changing the Song
Hold L2 during game play to advance to the next song.
Quick Start Tip
Hold the gas while tapping the brakes to get your tires smoking. When the countdown is between "1" and "Go", release the gas, then press it again.
Easy Takedowns
As soon as any race begins, immediately get behind the nearest opponent and hold "Boost". You will start getting "Tailgating" points and will receive a short boost. Use this boost to quickly slam your opponent. This will result in a takedown about 90% of the time and will immediately fill your entire boost bar.
