DRAFTING, FLAGS, AND SKILL POINTS
Standard Drafting
When you pull up close to the bumper of the car in front of you, both cars can go faster than if they were driving separately. Additionally, you can save gas. The Draft meter shows the current strength of the regular draft.
Share Draft
Press the button to Share Draft with the car in front of you. Share Draft increases the speed of both cars and improves your relationship with the other driver. The draft meter fills faster if your driver is a Hero.
Intimidator™
To be an Intimidator™, approach the bumper of another car. When the draft meter begins to fill, press the button to intimidate. The intimidated driver may lose concentration and slide out of the way, allowing you to pass, but that driver may hold a grudge against you. The meter fills faster if your driver is a Villain.
Grudges & Alliances
When you run into or intimidate another driver, he'll remember your actions on the next lap, or even during the next race. A red icon displayed above a car indicates that driver holds a grudge against you.
Similarly, you can form alliances with other drivers by racing a clean race or sharing a draft. In turn, an ally is more likely to work with you during the heated moments of a race.
Flags
During the course of a race, flags indicate changes in track conditions. A yellow flag indicates a caution and means you must slow down and maintain your current position in the field. There are no yellow flags in Whelen races.
A white flag is displayed when the leader of the field crosses the finish line to begin the last lap of the race. The first driver to cross the finish line again receives the checkered flag of victory.
Pit Stops
During longer races, you have to make pit stops to refuel, get new tires, and repair your car. You can change your pit options before you reach your stall. Pit stops are not allowed in Whelen races.
Skill Points
Earn Skill Points in each race (excluding multiplayer and online modes) by driving well and completing laps without damaging your car. Points are earned then added to your Skill Points account during the race. Use Skill Points to unlock tracks, cars, sponsors, and more.
SAVING AND LOADING
Before exiting a game mode or a menu where changes have been made, be sure to save your progress to a memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2) in MEMORY CARD slot 1 when Auto-Save is set to OFF. All unsaved information will be lost otherwise. You can also save or load manually by accessing the SAVE or LOAD screens (via the Settings menu).
