Pace car
After coming out of the pits, press [Brake]. Reverse back into the pits and hit the pace car at about 100 mph. If you hit it hard enough, it will move. Steer it into any oncoming traffic.

Big air
At Sears Point there is a hill with a huge Valvoline logo on it. Drive up the hill and you will fly into the air -- and your car may catch on fire.

Go past the first hill at Sears Point (the one that if you go too fast you will ramp and hit the wall) to the Valvoline jump, but do not ramp it. Turn around and go to the left side of the screen next to the wall and accelerate. Go forward until you ramp (this jump can hurt your car more than the Valvoline jump). You can do 720s, nose dives, half flips, etc.

When you get hit and are flying in the air, press [Square] + [Left Analog-stick Up] to spin around and fly. If you get enough air, you can stay in flight for at least a minute.

Glitch: Crash and flip on grass
There is a glitch in the grass in front of the pit on the Michigan track. Pick up speed around the last corner and go into the grass directly in front of the pit wall. Your car will crash and do lots of flips.
