To perform a lap glitch: Reverse (with the brake button) then come to a stop (using the e-brake button). Repeat until the points specified for the particular race in this guide.

A "Wrong Way", as I shall refer to it, is to Reverse, then Stop.

A safe visual cue for when to hit the e-brake is when smoke/dust begins coming off of Lighting's tires.

Lap Glitches: These are the points you must pass for the lap glitch to work, unless otherwise written

• Radiator Springs Grand Prix: 1st and 2nd Laps: Last set of cones outside the Cozy Cone Motel Final Lap: Flo's/Lizzie's

• Radiator Cap Circuit: 1st Lap: reverse from the finish line 2nd and Final Laps: Finish Line

• Sally's Sunshine Circuit: Same as Radiator Cap Circuit

• Doc's Challenge: All Laps: one full reverse on the road from second tumbleweed

• Boostin with Fillmore: Same as Radiator Cap Circuit

• North Desert Dash: All Laps: Lizzie's Billboard

• Sarge's Boot Camp (All Levels) 1st and 2nd Lap: the turn before the final obstacle (the horizontal board in the road is the obstacle.) Final Lap: reverse off track to the left between the two walls (do not manually respawn)

• Sarge's Off-Road Challenge: All Laps: the turn with the chevron (arrow) signs

• Sheriff's Chase: Reverse. only reverse, otherwise the lap glitch may/will fail

• Ornament Valley Circuit All Laps: toward the left (when reversing) of the large tire in the ground. do not go off-track or the lap glitch will not work

• Doc's Check-Up: All Laps: the turn. going onto this turn will put you off-track, so manually respawn. On GCN, and possibly other versions, the game will lag when you go off-track here.

• Delinquent Road Hazards: All Laps: the garbage in the road (failing this lap glitch will cause a glitch where it seems to respawn you under the track. If this happens, it may be better to restart the race)

• Monster Truck Mayhem All Laps, Both Paths: the third tire in the barrier. Note that skipping laps here is the slowest and most difficult method of completing this race, so stick to off-tracking or normal driving instead.

• Chick's Challenge: Same as Ornament Valley Circuit

• Radiator Springs GP: Same as Radiator Springs Grand Prix

• Ornament Valley GP: Same as Ornament Valley Circuit

Piston Cup Lap Glitches: On Piston Cup Races, there is the possibility of getting hit when performing a lap glitch because of the large amount of cars on the track and the narrow area before and after the finish line. Therefore, use caution when performing lap glitches and try to avoid the other cars as much as possible. If it is near impossible to dodge the cars, or you get hit, it may be better to complete a lap normally, then perform a lap glitch afterwards, instead of trying to continue the lap glitch attempt. On some tracks, in particular Sun Valley International Raceway, there is a higher likelihood of getting hit.

Also, on Smasherville and Los Angeles International Speedways, there are specific points you must get to for the lap glitch to work:

- Smasherville: The first L in the "Smasherville" painted on the side of the track. On this track in particular, it may be better to do the lap glitch every other, rather than every, lap, as the track is quite short

- Los Angeles: Get to the part of the track where the turn begins before the finish line. Then reverse along the straightaway

Rustbucket Race-O-Rama: This track has a two places within it where manually respawning from off-track saves small amounts of time and/or makes certain the you can win the race, as the CPUs here tend to rubberband a bit.

• Point 1: After the finish line, there are three consecutive bumps on the road. Go off-track to the right of the first of these bumps, then immediately manually respawn
• Point 2: When you go off the ramp about halfway through the track, go off to the left instead of forward. This will put you off-track, so manually respawn when it does.
