Secret Black Cars
The vehicle line-up in the used car showrooms is constantly changing. On the last week of the changing cycle--starting day 694--four secret black race cars appear in the showrooms. Two of the cars are in the Used Car Showroom I and the other two are in Showroom II, and they only appear for one week (Gran Turismo time). All four cars can be purchased for about Cr.8,500,000 total, which is an absolute
bargain for these sort of race cars.
900,000 credits in 20 minutes!!!
First you have to buy the Audi TTR Touring car from the german cars. That will cost you 550,000 credits and then tune it up to the MAX. Then go to the Europian Events. You will see the race calle "Doutche Touring Car Maischaft". Enter the race and go to the championship. Pu the mode to b-spec and relax and drink sprite and let the computer win, but when you atart the race then put it to "push hard and overtake mode (by pressing triangle) And put the pace to push hard. When you win the first four races then quit the fith one and you will get 75,000 as the championship win money and then you win a mercedes clk-gtr racing car which is worth 743,000 credits! My e-mail adress is napster_dog_freaky@yahoo.com if you have any trouble. Very easy race to do and you get a lot of money for that race and also you can do the race over and over again! I have got 245,784,987 credits like that and now i have 700 hundred cars goodluck people.

King Dome in Seattle Circuit:
Just before Safeco Field (The Mariner's Stadium), the King Dome stands on the right. The King Dome was the Mariner's old stadium and was destroyed in a giant implosion on March 26, 2000, and thus should not currently appear in the game.
Wheelie at 360 mph:
Go to Toyota's classic cars and purchase the Toyota GT-ONE Race Car (TS020) for 4,500,000 credits. Buy everything available for the car including the R5 racing tires. Once you have purchased and souped it up, go to the Power and Speed Icon in the top right corner of the map. Select "Driving Park". Then, select MAX Top Speed Challenge to the right, but go backwards on the track. After the loading screen, go to settings (little tool box). Equip and set the following: Tires R5, Nitrous (set the value to 50), Turbine Kit (Stage 4), Suspension (Racing); set the spring rate and the ride height to the lowest possible value (4.0) and (55) respectively; full Customizable Transmission (set the final gear to a value of 3.000) and the (Auto to 25), Driving Aids, (set all three to 0), Down Force (set front to 38 and rear to 88); and leave everything else stock. When you enter the track, accelerate as usual, but go backwards. Wait until you are on the back stretch to use the nitrous to get it over 360 mph and into a wheelie. As you round the last corner leading into the beginning of the back stretch, hit the nitrous and watch the nose of the car and the speedometer rise.

2022 Nike One Morse Code
If you look really close on the side of the Nike One, you can see a small area near the front of the car of morse code. If you go into photo mode, this will become clearer. The morse code is written backwards as to be seen correctly from inside the car. Spelled out, it is " www.Phil-Frank.com " the website of the Phil Frank Automotive and Product Design Company.

Mercedes SLR McLaren 2003: Retractable spoiler:
Put any replay camera on the normal replay mode and look at the trunk area of the car. A wing comes out of the trunk to help slow the car down.
Avoid driving mission penalty:
On Special Event/driving mission mode in simulation, if you hit a wall or car and receive a penalty for it, check if your RPM is above the rev-limiter for the gear that is below (i.e., if you are in third gear then the gear below is second gear). To check if you are above the rev-limiter, if the RPMs are almost redlining then you can over-rev if you downshift. If you downshift when you are redlining in one gear, then the rev-limiter will not allow the clutch to be engaged, allowing you to stay above the 30 mph penalty. You will lose speed, but not as rapidly as you would if you were to drop down to 30 mph for five seconds.
See sparks:
Get a fast car and go to the Max Speed Test. Get to about 200 mph, and on one of the banked corners get very low and swerve hard to the right. Hit the side so that you go up in the air. If you get the nose of your car up high you will land on the back bottom of the car (you cannot see this happen until you watch the replay). When you finish, watch the replay. You will see sparks fly as the car grinds against the paved road.
Pit stops:
Make a pit stop about every five to ten laps. If you watch your top speed, you will see that it will decrease about 5 mph every three laps.
Practice:
On any race that you enter with an option to "Practice"; this is a hidden qualifying round. It is actually a qualifying round for the race that you are entering. Do the practice until you see first place at the top of the screen. Once you see this, quit practice and start the race in either A or B-Spec modes. Your car will start in first place.
