I have to concur with the glowing review of FF1, but the tales of the reviewer's
successes lead me to ask: is there some trick to getting your car as fast as
the other cars?  That is, since I hardly understand what's going on (and don't
have the patience/skill to keep trying different combinations at random to see
what they do),  I just always go with "Mauro"'s recommendations.  What I find
is that I can virtually always negotiate the twisty parts of the courses as
fast or faster than the other cars in the race, but they just zip past me on
the straightaways (and I just can't hardly pass anyone).  Is it just my
imagination (supported by incompetent/marginal technique), or are there really
some additional tuning/hints/tricks for getting a competitive car?  (this all
at the lowest difficulty).  Thanks.
