When the start clock hits 1, press start till it's paused. Then push start and A at the same time and you will get a jump start on the race. Very helpful for pods with low acceleration.
To recharge your pod, hold the brake while racing. It my slow your pod down for a little while, but it could make the difference in the margin of victory.
In the third level of the Tatoonie races there is a shortcut about 1/3 of the way through the course. It is on the left side of a long plane. It shaves a good number of seconds off your time!
