Helpful Momentum:
In the Nitrous Run Race, if your time is about two to four seconds from expiring, aim the car at the gate and use all the nitrous remaining. Even if the timer runs out, your car will keep going enough without the gas and may pass the gate. If so, the timer will start again and your nitrous tank will be refilled, allowing you to continue with the race.

Bonus Parts:
Complete the last race of a set with a gold medal.

Boss Cars:
In some race events that says Boss Race in the event description, you can win that Boss's car by beating the event on Gold difficulty. When you win a Boss car, it appears in the Pocket Garage and you can race it in any game event.

Boss car warning:
When you are considering buying a car, do not purchase any of the cars that are used as Boss cars. If you buy one you will end up having two of the same car. Your garage can only hold 20 cars, and there are 24 cars total. The four Boss cars have their own separate garage and do not take up any of the twenty slots. You cannot get 100 completion if you buy any of the cars used as Boss cars.
