We all know that you sometimes lack that extra second in a speed race or trial map to get that winners medal. Well for Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Game Director Nigel Kershaw has decided to give you some tips to be that winner.

After the first helping hand on how to improve your driving this is one is mainly aimed for speed races.

There are 5 points he tells you to remember:

• Getting gold on these, especially later in the game, is supposed to be hard. However none of them are impossible…I’ve completed them all myself with a good few seconds to spare, and I’m not that good at the game.
• Expect the unexpected. Some of the speed races follow pretty standard track loops, while others mess with your head by gallivanting all over the tracks in strange directions. If it’s your first time in a particular speed race, don’t just sail through a gate expecting to be lined up perfectly for the next one. Be cautious and pay attention.
• Practice. Unless you’re some kind of god, you’re not going to get these babies the first time out, especially on the later levels. Give them a test run first, and learn where those illusive gates are.
• Learn to drive efficiently
• Be careful with the time – early on in a speed race, crossing a gate will reward you with a generous slice of time on the clock. Don’t get complacent, because the later gates will give you increasingly less time on your clock. Getting a good bank of time early on will allow the odd mistake later in the race.

I’m still waiting on my copy of the game to arrive from Simplygames to try out these tips.
