In a Knockout race, there's no prize for second place, simply because there is no second place. This works best if you've already pointed yourself in the right direction, but even if you're still heading backwards, misery does love company, so try to make them wreck as well. If you're in the lead, however, you should also try to keep an eye on your opponents if you can manage to swerve into their path, you'll be able to transfer some momentum from their vehicle to yours, giving you a bit of a boost as you begin your acceleration curve.

Tip: If you spin out or otherwise lose control of your vehicle, your first task will obviously be to get your car headed in the right direction. Grabbing air can give you huge amounts of Style Points. Since the computer won't have much of a chance to utilize their catch-up skills (if that option is enabled), you should take advantage of the middle section of the race to try and knock them into obstacles or rub them up against the track barriers. Instead of heading around a track multiple times, a Sprint race will see you traveling from one point of a course to another, generally across a section of the track that's somewhat longer than a single lap from any contemporaneous Circuit races. Sprint races are shorter versions of Circuit races. The first one to pass the finish line a set number of times wins! There are five kinds of challenges in Need For Speed: Underground. Between this fact and the ability to modify the game's difficulty level with each challenge, you should have no trouble advancing through the campaign with the help of this walk-through. This will downgrade your opponents as well, and will not cost you any money (you can re-upgrade after the race with no penalty).
