Hi there, I’m Jan, the Queen of Drift-Cornering in Sunset City and QA Engineer at Shockwave. I’m back to tell you my favorite tips and tricks for Sunset Racer 2.
Drift-Cornering is all a matter of anticipating the turns early, while always keeping one hand on the handbrake (Shift key). Tap the Shift key, while turning with the arrow keys, and the rear end will swing out to help you drift around a turn. Hold the Shift key down while turning hard, and you’ll skid around sharper corners. 
For those killer-sharp hairpins and zigzags, try letting go of the accelerator early; then hit the Shift key, while turning at the same time; then, while you’re skidding, punch the accelerator hard. Your car will leave that turn behind and zing off like a stung horse. Feel the G’s! Feel the road claw at your tires! But try not to smash into the curb, or the other cars, in the process—they’ll slow you down sharply, not to mention make you look like a dweeb in front of your racing friends. The wipeouts are spectacular, but the best part is: nobody ever gets hurt.
Here’s some more insider info just for you: In the near future, we’ll also be adding a Story Mode where you’ll race against opponents: some of the toughest denizens of Sunset City’s underground street-racing scene. There are some rough customers that come out at night: some are nasty, and some are nice, but all of them are out to beat your record and steal your glory. When you do beat back all those would-be usurpers to your throne, you’ll earn Shockwave.com tokens and trophies for your trouble. Also planned for future release is a Race Editor, where you’ll be able to build your own races and use them to challenge your friends.

thanks
i have problems with this game and no one wants/knows to help me.
i cannot enter ‘garage’. i cannot install add-ons i won.. not being able to upgrade my car defeats the purpose of this game. this only happens in garage part of the game. when i click on ‘garage’ i get the message that the shockwave movie has errors in it and it cannot continue. that didn’t happen until 15 days ago, and i’m playing this game since the beginning of april.. help please to play this great game… thanx

I’ve tried the April 30 course dozens of times and always came up a few seconds short of 2nd place to win the car. I read your cornering tips and won the very next game. Awesome!
Way to go, Robert!
Once you get the hang of using that hand-brake, shaving off those crucial seconds suddenly gets much easier. The more you win, the better you get!
It’s mostly about timing– get to know each course by playing a few times, and start anticipating where you have to lay off the accelerator. (On each course, you quickly get really familiar with That One Tricky Turn that makes you wipe out every time!)
Each car behaves & drifts differently, too. So as you unlock them, have fun getting to know them all personally.
And don’t forget the frosted paintjob & neon lights.
i like it.
i need to get a new car… could you tell me a code?
can someone give me better codes?
Car Codes just DISPLAY somebody else’s car… they’re only to show it off. A code doesn’t give you that car in your garage.
To earn a car in your garage, you have to do the old-fashioned thing: Race for it, and win!
Why isn”t there a free roam to see Sunset City Driving through all the streets and why is the july 2 and 1 2 seconds thats impossible come on jan tell us if u know
When IS the the FASTEST Car coming out or any other like the felix car or the yamsushi sword
\
The July 1 & 2 thresholds of 155 seconds & 125 seconds are not impossible. They’re just very hard! I can’t tell you how to get better without practicing. So, keep practicing.
There is a Race Editor planned for future release - you’ll be able to build your own races, all over town, and use them to challenge your friends.
why isn’t there a free roam mode cause allot of people think they made sunset city to big
