Beat the Heat Guide


SET 1 - SUPER SPEEDWAY

1. FIRST TURN
The object here is to get through the turn at Daytona the fastest way possible. You are placed in the car just before going into the turn in the middle of the track. At the start of the turn, ease your way to the bottom of the turn. Don't make any sudden jerks of the wheel to get to the apron or you'll scrub off speed and that's a bad thing. Coming out of the turn, ease your way a little from the apron and hold your line. Any sudden movement will cost you in precious tenths of a second to get the gold. Stay low and get that gold!

2. MULTIPLE BENDS
Multiple Bends is the same as First Turn but at Talledega and more turns. Use what you learned in First Turn and this one should be a snap!

3. FIRST CHALLENGERS
Here we start to mix it up with some other cars. The object here is to finish 1st. You start in last place in the middle behind Bobby Labonte and Dale Jarrett. If your car isn't in this spot, exit out and restart it. We found that the cars will be in a different spot when you go back in each time but there is only one position that is ideal to make it an easy win. Going into turn one drop in behind Bobby and draft. Before getting out of the turn, push Jarrett up the track a bit to get in the middle to make it 3 wide. Coming out of the turn you should be lined up right behind Dale Earnhardt for a good draft. Use the draft off of Dale's car to slingshot yourself past him about half way down the backstretch and position you car on the inside, before the turn. Once in the turn you should be past Dale enough to place your car in front of him. Stay in front of Earnhardt. at all costs! He is an aggressive driver and has a very fast car! Block him to the end!

4. DRAFT TO PASS
Here you are behind Bobby Labonte as your teammate. Don't use any other car to draft to the front besides Bobby. He is a lot faster than the others and will drag you along in the draft to catch Dale Jarrett up front. This one takes a little patience. Remember not to make any sudden moves as this will let Bobby get away from you. Stay on Bobby's bumper as best as you can. In the final lap on the backstretch you should be on Jarrett's tail. Just follow Bobby around him and get that gold!

5. PROVING GROUNDS
You're in 4th place at Dega. Going into turn one get low and draft Jarrett. On the backstretch, slingshot yourself past Jarrett on the inside making it 3 wide with Steve Parks on the outside. Terry Labonte will line up behind you for the draft and push you to the front. Once you get there, use your mirror to block any attempt at passing you. By the last lap you will be at least a car length ahead and onto an easy victory!

6. DAYTONA
You're on the outside pole. In this scenario, getting to the front is easy. Staying there is another story! At the start you must hold your line. Bobby Labonte will get in behind you to draft for a boost to the front. Once there you must use your mirror! Dale Earnhardt is on your tail and he's very anxious to get around you. Block any car that tries to pass and you'll win this one, no sweat!


SET 2 - SPEEDWAY

1. GETTING OFF THE GAS
Here you are at Dover, "The Monster Mile". Getting the fastest time here for the gold will take some practice. When you get to the turn, let off the gas and brake lightly for a split second to set yourself up for the entry into the turn. Make sure you are at the wall in the beginning of the turn. Coast your way down to the apron to the apex of the turn. Once you get to this point, stand on the gas and let the car bring you through the turn to the outside at the wall. Don't over-steer going through the turn as this will scrub off precious speed and time. The object here is to find the shortest and fastest way through the turn. Good luck!

2. AROUND THE EGG
Ready for a stripe? The track is Darlington and it has an unusual shape, much like an egg. Here you have to have patience through the turn or you will collect the wall at the other end of the turn. Hence the "Stripe'. As soon as you are placed into the car, look to your right and you'll see an opening in the wall. Use this as a marker to apply your brakes. Steer the car down to the white line after applying the brakes and make sure the car isn't trying to push to the wall. If it is, you will need to apply the brakes a little harder next time. When the car settles into the turn, ease back into the gas going through the turn practically on the white line. When you start to see the front straight, stand on the gas and you'll miss getting your stripe, but won't miss the gold!

3. SPLIT THE MIDDLE
Here at Texas Speedway you are in 16th place. I guess what was intended here was to go between the 4 cars in front of you when placed into the car. Forget it. Go low into the turn and weave through the pack as fast as you can. Stay low as much as you can, even if you have to nudge your way through. 1st place is very possible here.

4. PASS OR BE PASSED
Here you get to beat the Intimidator at his own game. The track is Las Vegas and you're in 4th with Dale Earnhardt on your bumper. You have to watch your mirror to keep him behind you. You'll come up on Mark Martin. Pass Mark low and keep Dale just behind you both. If you do this just right Dale will get hung up with Mark and you'll cruise to an easy win.

5. PILE UP
You're on the last lap coming into turn 3 in 15th place at Lowe's. There's a wreck in the front and cars are all over the place. Don't brake at all, even though that is your first instinct. Instead pass Chad Little and go onto the apron. If you're fast enough you will avoid the wreck up on the track and pass Dale Jarrett and Bobby Hamilton to take first place. You might have to reload the scenario a few times to get the cars in the right positions to pull it off.

6. WORST TO FIRST
Back to Dover. You're in the pits getting tires. Don't wait to get placed into the car. Stomp the gas as soon as the screen pops the race up. Go out onto the track cutting off anyone that's there. You'll have to nudge cars out of the way through the turns to get to the leader who is pretty far out front. Always stay low through the turns. There are 10 laps to do this in and you should be on the leader's bumper by the last lap. Take him low in the turns and drive hard through the turns to get away from him. Good luck!
