Hints and Tips

JOKERS
In the main Street Racing game, you'll see that you can
gain Jokers which appear below your Kudos rating. These
can help you gain big Kudos scores! You can play each
joker only once, on one Stage – but it will DOUBLE the
Kudos you get on that Stage! But be warned, if you lose, it
will DOUBLE the amount of negative Kudos you get too!

CAR PERFORMANCE FACTOR (CPF)
Pay attention to the CPF of the car you are driving, and
those of your opponents, as it will influence the amount of
Kudos you can earn. When driving alone, you will be given
a target goal based on your car’s CPF. When racing with
others, your Kudos depends on your CPF compared to
that of your competitors. So you'll get far more Kudos for
beating high CPF cars with a low CPF car than you will the
other way round. 

KUDOS
Watch out for the ‘K’Kudos symbol appearing on the
screen when you’re driving. This, along with the associated
message, will tell you if you’re gaining extra Kudos for good
driving, or losing Kudos for being careless! Practice your
driving, and learn how to make that positive ‘K’symbol
appear to maximize the Kudos you can earn!
