Rear-view mirror - press R or d-pad down and see who's closing in behind you, live
Pick your mirror - a live picture, or a lights-only mode that shows just the headlights behind you on slower PCs (Graphics settings)
Your money on screen - your balance sits top right while you drive and rolls up as you earn

Closing the pause menu with B on a gamepad could shift up a gear
Touching another car could launch yours into the air
Tunnels could flash bright white ahead of you at high speed
