Auto-turning

Lakeside Parkway R: Shortcut
On turn five, where there is grass before a tunnel, there are no walls preventing you from going across. This allows you to cut a corner on a slightly unnecessary turn and give you even more of a lead. Note: This trick works better with a Nitrous boost if the grass slows you down.
