* ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed World'' had Team Escape as one of its modes. In it, up to 4 players (2 in the hardest and shortest ones) had to team up and avoid cops in a track that is completely preset (where the cops spawn, as well as roadblocks and spike strips). However, if you are fast enough, cops (ambushing Rhinos in particular) would fail to spawn, making runs a lot easier.
* ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed: Porsche Unleashed'' had a mechanic in career mode where you could buy used cars, or sell ones you owned after racing them (when they had become collector's items). The game described this like it was a risky proposition, so you should be choosy about the ones you pick, but repairing and selling used cars ''always'' turned a profit so you essentially had unlimited money once you could afford even one car.
* ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed: [=ProStreet=]'' also shares the same mechanic. Buy an Acura Integra LS which actually costs nothing and simply sell it, and you get $7,200. Repeat this method and you'll be able to afford any car or upgrades without the necessary need of wasting time racing for cash. This method only works for the ''Collectors Edition''.

** The Miami trains. If you park your car onto the corner of the train, the rear part of the train will clip through the corner and it if clips to your car, it sends you flying. Basically this glitch is before the famous ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV''s swing set glitch and even the Monster Truck glitch from ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas''.

* In the console versions of ''L.A Rush'' highlighting a locked car in Career Mode, then unplugging the controller then replugging it,[[note]]Or if playing in [=7th=] generation consoles onwards via backwards compatibility, disconnecting the controller[[/note]] you can drive the locked car very early in the game. This means that you can get either the [[DiscOneNuke Saleen S7]] or the Midway Concept 20[[note]]A custom Checker Marathon taxi cab[[/note]] which both are the fastest cars in the game in the very beginning.

moving from Unintentionally Unwinnable after being deemed more of a straight example of this trope

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/TheCrew'' has a bug that can make Race Faction Missions impossible to lose. The bug causes AI cars to fall through the map, rendering them unable to finish the race. Since races longer than ten minutes only require the player to finish in the top three and the four longest races only have three AI opponents, completing the mission is guaranteed at that point.

* In the PAL release of ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRacing'', pressing the Triangle button to back out of the language select menu instead of choosing a language will cause most of the game's text to turn into slashes and hyphens, but it comes with an even more bizarre bug that causes the boss characters barring Ripper Roo to switch heads during cutscenes (Papu Papu has Pinstripe's head, Komodo Joe has Oxide's head, Pinstripe has Komodo Joe's head, and Oxide has Papu Papu's head).
** The Switch version of ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRacingNitroFueled'', during the first weekend of its release, allowed you to select any character on the roster in online races without having to unlock him or her first. To do so, you simply have to hover over that character's box and wait for time to run out, and you'll begin the race as that character. It was patched out very soon though.
