Cheats in championship mode
When you unlock any of the cheats, they normally cannot be used to win championship mode. However, there is a way around this. Simply use the cheat to come in first until the last race. Then, go to the main menu and disable the cheat. You will have all the medals, and all you have to do is win the last race.

Quick start
Immediately before the countdown ends at beginning of a race, quickly press the brake ([L]), then the gas ([R]). You should take off with a sudden burst off energy as soon as the race begins, and be ahead of everybody else.

Hold [Brake], then press [Gas] to cause your tires to peel out. When "One" appears at the top of the screen, release [Gas] and immediately press it again when "Go!" appears. If done correctly, you will get a boost that will almost always put you in front of the other vehicles.

At the beginning of any race, pursuit or crash session, before it race starts, at the countdown, hold [Gas], then hold [Brake] briefly for about half second. Half a second before the counter reaches zero, release [Gas] and quickly press it again. You will start with a boost.

Spin your tires until the countdown is halfway through "1" and release the gas. Immediately after you release the gas, press [A] again. This gives you a boost start.

Better start
If you are not at the pole position, try to drive into the rear end of an opponent. He will lose control for a moment and you can pass.

Never follow the opponents in front of you. Almost always, there is a faster route even if it is takes sharper bends.

Powerful boosts in Crash Zones
This trick works in one player and two player modes. When you are doing the Crash Zones, at the start immediately hold [R] for a boost. After a few seconds, press it again. This should give you more boost, which results in a faster speed

When you are doing Crash Zone 7 "Whip Up A Storm Of Metal And Glass", go to the right onto the dirt. You can have a wider angle to turn left at the intersection, and therefore have more speed for a greater crash.

Getting quicker boosts
Drive on the wrong side of the road to receive a boost faster. If your opponent is in the wrong lane, follow him, but not to closely. This allows him to pass the traffic for you. Also, if he hits someone you can get out of he way if you are not too close. This is unlikely however, as the CPU follows the cars through a safer route. As long as you do not disturb him he will not hit anything. This will give you a faster and safer boost.

When you get a full boost meter, you can gain and use boost a lot faster by tapping [A] ("Boost") button instead of holding it down and draining your boost all the way.

Better slides
When doing the tire burn, once you go around the turn and have a boost, press [R]. You will speed up and take the turn very fast. Also, if you get a perfect lap you will automatically get a boost.

Easy points
If you are on a course that has a lot of bumps, do not drive the trucks, 1970's car, stock car, hotrod, or gangster. The best car for this are the Japanese muscle or the student driver car.

Easy turbo
Drive on the wrong side of the road until your turbo (NOS) tank or bar is full.

Easy pursuit wins
Try to get as close to the vehicle as you can when you have turbo. Then, use it and get in front of the car. Stay in front of it. It will try to get past you. When this happens, keep hitting it as it tries to pass.

In the pursuit modes, you can win the race immediately if you force the other car into a head-on collision with traffic -- this will stop them quite nicely.

Easy money in crash mode
When you are about to hit the car you think will make the biggest crash, use the turbo and drive towards that car. Hit your brakes and do a power slide into the car. This should put you into the air. Note: This will not work on trucks.

For easy money in Crash Course 6, select a car that catches air easily (such as the SUV). Start with a boost and burn out of the tunnel. Go all the way to the left and hit that car.

Easy gold medals in crash mode
Learn which car to crash into first, then restart, do a boost start, then burn into it.

Run individual championship race for gold without having to restart
If you are halfway through getting all golds on a championship and you get a silver or less, turn off the Xbox before the autosave. Restart the Xbox, then continue the championship from the start of the race you just ran.
