Ramming cars
------------
Get the car you want ram directly besides. Keep him beside your car on the
left side. When you are coming around a corner, press Analog-stick Left to
send him straight into the wall. You can also keep him along your left side
and wait for the pit entrance get near. Then, press Analog-stick Left to send
him into the pits. Some cars can regain control before they go in, so get as
close as you can.
Glitch: Immovable car

Drive the wrong way into the pits and hit the pace car. It will not move.
