Classic Muscle - Bilstein Festival Milano
Number of races: 2
Tracks: Milan - Castello Circuit; Milan - Castello Circuit B
Best car: You can choose between two muscle-cars. Ford Mustang Boss 302 will allow you to reach higher speeds, however Cuda seems like a better choice. This car is better at taking corners which will allow you to catch up to other vehicles much faster.
Hints: Both races take place on the exact same track, however you'll be going in two different directions. The first race seems to be a little easier. Maintain high speed once you've started and while you're going through a long curve. You can't get too close to the barriers here, because it's very easy to crash by mistake. Choose the roundabout section for a place to make a move. The second part of the lap will also present you with a lot of opportunities to take the lead in the race. You've probably noticed that you can cut through some of these corners. Speed up once you're close to the finish, especially since other drivers will do the same thing.
The second race will also require you to through a large curve which is located near the finish line. As long as you maintain higher speeds, you should be safe here and you won't have to worry about other drivers extending their lead. Try overtaking them near some of the sharper turns, especially since you'll be allowed to cut through most of these corners (screen). Watch out near the finish and go through the roundabout without smashing into any barriers.
Touring Cars - BMW Challenge
Number of races: 2
Tracks: Nurburgring - Sprint Circuit; Nurburgring - Grand Prix Circuit B
Best car: You won't be allowed to choose a vehicle for this race, but it's not a problem, because BMW 320SI is the best car in this class.
Hints: Both races are quite easy to win, however you should spend some extra time in the Race Day mode to familiarize yourself with both versions of the Nurburgring track. Prevent other cars from taking an early lead by having a perfect start. Approach the first turn from the inside and cut through the grass in order to overtake a couple of vehicles. Now you will have to deal with a few fast corners (screen). The key to success here is to approach them at a correct speed, so this is why it's very important to know the track.
The second part of the lap starts with a long straight section of the road. You will have to maintain a very high speed here for obvious reasons. Be careful, though. You will come across a tight chicane very soon (screen). You must use the brakes early or you'll crash into the tire wall. Also, I wouldn't recommend cutting through this corner, because there's a possibility of losing control over your car. You should be able to take the lead on the second lap. Once this is done, defend yourselves against attacks from other drivers until you've reached the finish line.
The second track is very similar to the first one, especially in the beginning. My opinion is that this race is easier to win. There are a lot of sharp corners on the track, so you'll have some opportunities to overtake other vehicles (screen). Be careful once you're close enough to the chicane. If you don't make any major mistakes, you should be able to take the lead even faster than in the previous race.
