FlatOut is a racing video game developed by Finnish Bugbear Entertainment and published by Empire Interactive and Vivendi Universal Games in 2004 and 2005. Gameplay in Flatout places emphasis on demolition derby-style races, and features a sophisticated physics engine. 16 different cars are included, each with 5 different skins. Modes in FlatOut include standard lap races, in either open environments or stadium laps, and demolition derby deathmatches, in which the driver of the sole-surviving vehicle declared the winner; both modes pit players against 7 computer-controlled opponents.
The game also includes special events which require the player to toss the driver of off his/her vehicle and meet certain requirements. In career mode, pick up your future top racer from the junkyard. Winnings come in the form of cash, which allows players to purchase vehicle upgrades and new vehicles.

Gain advantage using the Off Track state Most of you probably know that if you happen to run a bit off course (in other places than intended (i.e. obvious shortcuts) an arrow will pop up, indicating where you strayed off course as well as a distance indicator to the aforementioned spot.
What you may not have noticed is that if you don't stray too far off course (just a tiny brief second or two) - the "Off Course" indicator will show up, but the game will go on as normal (i.e. you won't be losing your current position as opponents are driving by your point of off-road straying and the number of laps will still count as you drive passed the finish-line).
Now, do this - drive off the track just SLIGHTLY so that the orange arrow is displayed, head straight back on track and watch so you don't lose your position as the other cars are driving by the origin where you briefly left the track. Now, keep driving more than 50% of a full lap and then RESET your car. The thing is that the game will then RESET you at the point where you LEFT THE TRACK (where the "off track"-state became active).
The game will take you to that spot the shortest way possible, so that means, if you have driven more than 50% of a lap from where you drove off, you will advance the remaining distance instead of going BACK to the off-course spot thus gaining an instant less than 50% lap on your opponents.
