Hints for driving!

This car is kinda FAST!!!
ok a few guidelines to take notice of
1, its very very sensitive to steering (so watch it on the straights at high speed)
2, DONT try to power slide it IT WONT!!
3, dont brake just come off the accelerator (well not unless you really need to kill the speed)
4, If you want to take corner well learn to approach at any speed and then press brake (not hand brake) and turn AT THE SAME TIME you can take 90degree corners at very high speeds this way
5, HAVE FUN!!

FAQ

1.	Why is it locked?
2.	How do you unlock the car?
3.	Why do the reverse lights show up floating in the air?
4.	Why has it got normal engine sounds?
5.	Why does my game crash when i try to play with you car?
6.	My game slows drastically when i use your car why is this?
7.	Will you make other pod racers?
8.	I have a picture/sound file that i think might help you where do i send it?
9.	What in your opinion is the best settings for driving the car in?
10.	Why does the engine flame only show at night/when i brake in daylight?
11.	Why does the car behave weird at low speed just after hitting things really hard?

FAQ ANSWERS

1.	Because it requires a good driver to get the best out of it! and because its fun!!!
2.	Do a few blitz races to get 1000 points (simple)
3.	Because i havent changed them yet!
4.	Because i havent changed them yet!
5.	The main problem people get is due to the lack of sofwate only mode in the car, to 	be honest i dont think any computer without a 3d card could run the model anyway and 	even if there was a few computers out there that can its not worth making the mode 	just for the few (i dont have that much time on my hands you know)
6.	Because the model is so complicated (its got 1500 faces avg is less than 1000) I 	personally wouldnt recommend running it on a slow computer!
7.	If people send me lots and lots of emails requesting a certain type (and can supply 	good pictures then sure why not!
8.	Id love to get better pictures of any model i make and sounds would be well recieved 	too send them and comments to SANNEAR@AOL.COM
9.	The settings i use most are Night-time with the traffic slightly turned down from 	default.
10.	I used the rear lights as the exhaust flame (technically this is correct as flames 	show up best at night or with low power)
11.	The answer here is simple(ish) OK the pod racer IS FICTIONAL and ILM can make it 	behave how they want however in the MTM game things have to behave according to REAL 	world physics! so in order for me to get 9000BHP of power into the car and get it to 	move and drive round corners like it does in the film then i need to put in silly 	values for stuff like grip! the problem is that the grip is far in excess of the 	grip that MTM likes so sometimes MTM gets a bit confused sorry about this but hey 	least it hardly happens!!
