TRIVIA

Released in April 2011.

The special car unlocked after getting 3rd (or better) place after all races is an extremely tuned Morris Cooper.

The stages are raced on totally different circuits than in real life: USA is raced at Circuit de Catalunya in Spain; Australia is raced at RedBull Ring in Austria; Canada is raced at Silverstone in Great Britain; China is raced at Monza in Italy and Bahrain is raced at Hungaroring in Hungary. Of course all these tracks are deformed.

TIPS AND TRICKS

* The kinetic boost bar rises slow during driving, but faster during braking. Hitting other bolides depletes the boost.
* You can upgrade the car up to 16 levels. Adjust the setup between speed, handling and boost by dragging the cursor around the setup triangle.
* Better handling means lower speed and weaker boost. Drag the cursor more towards handling when the race is going to be driven in the rain as there's no option to mount rain tires. Look at the cloud in the race selection field, click "set up car", drag the ball to handling and then start the race.
* Learn the tracks and find the best racing lines.
* Hit the boost when coming out of bends.
* Reach top 3 in all races to unlock a total beast - special car with awesome acceleration, super high speed and super handling.
* You can finish a race in under 2 minutes when you use the special car and the "great time" achievements will be passed.
* The special car can be used to pass many other achievements.
* Road hog achievement (cause another car to crash) can only be scored randomly, but you'll also crash when you're pushing any opponent.
* Reach 278 mph in the special car by dragging the
settings ball to the top (full engine power). You can reach 230 mph in the bolide by upgrading it to the maximum level and dragging the settings ball just like in case of special car - to the top.
* The cone is hidden somewhere at Bahrain stage.
* The entrance only to the 1st race (USA) is free. You have to save money up to buy licenses for entrance to all the remaining courses.
