Number of races: 3
Tracks: Washington - Park Circuit B; Detroit - Grand Prix Circuit; San Francisco - Short Circuit
Car: There are many different vehicles for you to choose from and some of them even cost two million euros. I suspect that you still own a Saleen S7R and that's the car you should consider using in this event. It's fast enough to stay close to other vehicles and you won't have any major problems controlling it. Cutting through the corners will also be possible in this car.
Hints: The first race of the tournament can be won without any major problems. Use the fact that there are two slow corners on the track. Cutting through them will allow you to get closer to the current leaders. The same goes with other tight turns, like the ones on the screen (screen). Other drivers will be slowing down here and that's your chance to overtake them. The final section of the lap will require you to go through a mild curve at a very high speed. You must prevent the vehicle from getting too close to the left wall, especially since there are also some tires over there. Other than that, you will probably secure your lead long before this race has ended.
The second race is going to be very similar to one of the challenges from the previous tournament. Thankfully, Saleen is much easier to drive than Zonda or Koenigsegg. Use this to your advantage and maintain higher speeds while going through some difficult corners. You will have to turn right at some point of the race. This new section of the lap will lead you to a tight turn. Go through this corner at a very low speed. Secure your lead by finishing second part of the lap without any major crashes.
The third race is going to be the easiest one of all three. Like I've already said, cutting through corners in a Saleen is not a problem. You won't have to go through any tight turns. Instead, you'll be dealing with a fast chicane (screen). It's very easy to crash into barriers here, so I'd strongly recommend slowing down the vehicle a little. Otherwise you would probably have to use up one of available flashbacks, especially if this is your first run on this track.

Important! Participating in this duel is possible only when you've won all six tournaments from this group!
Hints: Sadly, winning this race is going to be more difficult than it was in the first race. The main problem is that you'll have to use a Dodge Viper and this car is very difficult to drive. Additionally, you'll be dealing with a narrow track, so you won't be allowed to make any mistakes. Winning here is possible only if you've practiced driving a Viper a lot and if you're familiar with the entire track.
Obviously the first part of the race is going to be crucial to your success. The start must be perfect, so you can't afford any wheelspin. Your opponent will probably take an early lead and your job will be to stay behind him as close as possible (screen). You will have to go through several fast corners. Prevent the car from sliding and avoid hitting the tires. Don't push too hard or you may end up restarting this event.
You will start encountering difficult corners very soon and they're your only chance of taking the lead. I would recommend that you wait for one of few tight turns to make a move (screen). Make sure that you're cutting through the corners, so you'll be very close to your opponent before overtaking him. Once this is done, calm down and focus only on securing the lead. This means you can't make any mistakes and you will have to maintain higher speeds while going through mild curves. Thankfully, you should know the track by now, so you'll have less problems defending your first place.
