Burnout 3: Takedown
Hint: Allow a Pass
If you are low on boost and a rival is right behind you, slow down until he passes you. Then, get a takedown by making them crash. This gives you a lot of boost and guarantees they won’t come back on you at the end.
Hint: Starting Direction
You can turn your car while wheel spinning at the beginning of a crash junction. This can be useful for aiming at a pick-up or ramp.
