There's not much to say about this particular challenge. You won't receive a huge reward for winning it, however completing this task is going to be quite simple. Additionally, there are only four checkpoints, so you won't have to spend too much time on the track. You start off on a long straight line (#1), however you will have to watch out for heavy traffic. Make sure that you don't hit anything along the way. I wouldn't recommend slowing down too much, especially if you're using a vehicle with poor acceleration. You should be able to pass through all checkpoints without any major problems (#2).
It's all in the Handling
Level: Amateur
Prize: 10000 dollars
This is going to be a quite simple race. You shouldn't have any problems overtaking your opponents. Once this is done, make sure that you have maintained your lead. You will have to deal with a tight hairpin at some point of the race (#1). It's very easy to hit the left barrier here, so I'd strongly recommend that you hit the brakes. Don't worry about the competition. You won't lose your lead here. There are some fast corners waiting for you later during the race (#2). You should consider cutting through some of these corners, however make sure that you don't lose control over your vehicle.
Objective: Time
Level: Amateur
Prize: 10000 dollars
Time limit: 2 minutes 20 seconds
I'm sure that you're going to have some problems with this particular time challenge, especially if you're driving one of the slower (or not upgraded) cars of the E class. You won't be allowed to make any major mistakes here. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to reach the finish line within a designated time limit. You will also have to maintain higher speeds during the most of the race. The first part of the challenge will require you to go through a very tight right turn. There are other corners waiting for you there, however they're not that difficult. Once you've reached a mild left turn (#1), SLOW DOWN because it's very easy to make a mistake here. You won't have the opportunity to spot all civilian cars and the road is very narrow. Once you've gone past this section, keep going straight. There are some more tight turns near the finish line (#2), however you shouldn't have any major problems with them. Just make sure that you don't hit anything along the way and you should be just fine.

You shouldn't have any major problems collecting a gold trophy here. It's very important that you don't make any mistakes right after the start, so you'll be able to overtake all of your opponents (#1). If you're lucky, they should even crash into the civilian cars, so you won't have to worry about them anymore. Avoid the incoming traffic (#2), especially when you're going through mild curves. Make sure that you don't end up on the left lane. You will also have to deal with several jumps near the end, but they're not too difficult.
Angel's Jump
Level: Amateur
Prize: 10000 dollars
This race is very similar to one of the speed challenges, located in the same section of the map. Sadly, it's going to be much more difficult this time, mostly because you will be dealing with heavy traffic and A LOT of jumps (#1). You won't be able to avoid these segments, so you have to stay focused all the time, especially since there isn't much time to reach the finish line. Make sure that you're moving on a correct lane, so you avoid crashing into something at high speeds. You will also have to deal with several tight turns later during the race (#2). One of these corners is located near the tunnel exit, so make sure that you have used your bakes. Thankfully, there are no penalties for hitting the walls and barriers, so you may use this to your advantage.
A Serious Test of Car Control
Level: Amateur
Prize: 12000 dollars
Time limit: 3 minutes 25 seconds
As you've probably noticed, a damage bar has appeared on the screen. This means that you won't be allowed to make any mistakes. You will have to stay on the asphalt road. Otherwise you would start losing points. Furthermore, once you've finished the race, they would be added as penalty seconds to your final result. It may even be 5-10 seconds, so it would be best to memorize the entire race, especially if you don't want to repeat it more than 2-3 times. The route itself is quite simple, however you will be dealing with a large number of fast curves (#1). You can try drifting here, however it will be quite dangerous. You will also have to watch out for heavy traffic. Avoid hitting other cars at all costs, because you would be punished for doing that. There are also a few hills in the area (#2), as well as darker corners. It would be wise to slow down from time to time, especially if you're not feeling too comfortable with your current car. Thankfully, you will have plenty of time to reach the finish line, however remember that penalty seconds may be added to your final result.
A Rugged Route
Level: Amateur
Prize: 15000 dollars
Time limit: 4 minutes 45 seconds
You will receive quite a lot of money for winning this race, mostly because reaching the finish line will take you about 4-5 minutes. Thankfully, if you have one of the fasters vehicles of the E class at your disposal, you should be just fine. The first section of the race will require you to go through several mild curves. Don't underestimate these corners, because you won't be allowed to make any mistakes here. It's going to get much harder very soon, especially near the tight left turn (#1). There's also a second left turn in this area. After that, you will come across several difficult corners (#2). If you're skilled enough, you could consider using your handbrake here. Obviously this is going to be quite risky, but I'm sure that you'll be just fine. Just make sure that you don't end up somewhere outside the track. You will also have to remember about the damage bar, so stay on the main road and avoid hitting all kinds of objects.
Asphalt King
Level: Amateur
Prize: 20000 dollars
This isn't a difficult race, however you will have to remember about a few important things. A good start is all you need right now. Thankfully, it shouldn't be much of a problem, especially if you're driving a fast car. Now you will have to go through two mild curves. There's also a small jump here (#1). Be careful, because it's very easy to lose control over your vehicle and that would mean serious trouble. Once you've taken care of two tight turns, you will find yourself driving on a freeway. Keep going straight. You can't hit anything along the way, because you should be moving at maximum speed. Avoid civilian vehicles at all costs. There are some tight corners waiting for your near the finish line (#2). Start using your brakes here, especially if you don't want to hit any of the surrounding barriers. Thankfully, you should have extended your lead to about 10-15 seconds, so even if you make a serious mistake, you should be able to retain your first place. It'll take you about five minutes to reach the finish line.
