  5. Codes

    Before starting a race, enter one of the following codes at any of the menus to enable the respective cheat: (you'll hear a 'whoosh' sound when entered correctly)
    [The go## codes have a range between 00 and 21, using these also turns the traffic into the same vehicle overlay. Also, whatever car was selected will be displayed in the race results screen (i.e. Diablo SV or Corvette, etcetera)].
    (note that none of the go codes work in Tournament or Knockout which also goes for madland)
