DIETER KLEINMANN
Q & A Session with World-Famous Urban Racer
Dieter Kleinmann
(from
Car Racer, reprinted with permission)
MM3:
Thanks for taking the time to sit down with us.
Kleinmann:
Der Schlüssel zum Sieg liegt in runden Kurven und
schnellen Geraden.
MM3:
Please speak to us in English.
Kleinmann:
Fine.
MM3:
Could you please explain your secret to urban racing?
Kleinmann:
Well, I use the
Mini Map
to plot the best route, and that
includes cutting corners and flying through parks. Then, I avoid obstacles,
such as poles. Not only can they slow you down, but—even worse—they
scratch the paint. There is only one good thing about obstacles—
bumping your opponents into them!
MM3:
So what’s up with the two arrows?
Kleinmann:
The big, yellow arrow points to the next checkpoint in a
suggested, optional path. It’s like a compass, so don’t follow it exactly
unless you can drive through buildings. The little arrow pops up when
it’s time to turn—if you’re following the suggested path. Sometimes, I
ignore them both!
MM3: What if the next checkpoint you want is behind you?
Kleinmann:
That’s when you use the handbrake
for a quick 180! Oh, it’s fun, but make sure
you haven’t eaten schnitzel beforehand.
MM3:
What’s the best part about racing?
Kleinmann:
Winning. And the
free schnitzel.
