160 mph in heavy traffic
Level: Champion
Prize: 50000 dollars
Cars only!
Gather: 258 km/h
You shouldn't have any major problems winning this speed challenge, however it'll be important to choose a correct car for this race. I would recommend taking Saleen S7 or Ferrari Enzo, mostly because you'll need cars with an excellent acceleration. Otherwise you would have some problems with the speed limit. Thankfully, you won't have to worry about the time. You'll have plenty of seconds to finish up with this task. Start off by going forward. You should be able to gather larger number of points near the first radar. You will come across a single hairpin here (#1). Once you've gone past it, start accelerating towards the second checkpoint. As you've probably noticed, there's a mild curve up ahead (#2). Slow down only a little, so you won't lose too many points. Keep heading forward. You will come across a single bend (#3). Just as before, I wouldn't recommend slowing down too much. There's only one more radar to go. You will have to turn right in order to be able to reach it. You shouldn't have any problems scoring a lot of speed points here (#4), however watch out for heavy traffic.
The Tixier Loop
Level: Champion
Prize: 75000 dollars
Winning this time trial challenge isn't going to be difficult, however I would recommend choosing a correct car, so you won't have to worry about anything else. Ferrari Enzo is always a good idea, however you could also choose a Mercedes McLaren SLR. Saleen won't do you much good here, mostly because there are a lot of tight turns in the area. You will have to deal with a long straight road near the start, however you will come across two tight corners very soon (#1). This is the most difficult part of this race, so if you'll make a mistake here it would be wise to repeat the entire event. There are more straight pieces of the road ahead. Additionally, you will have to deal with several fast corners near the end (#2). I would recommend slowing down here, however I'm sure that you'll be just fine.
Eliminator at your service
Level: Champion
Prize: 80000 dollars
This is an extremely easy race, so you shouldn't have ANY problems winning a gold medal here. As you've probably noticed, you will be dealing with the elimination rules, so at the end of each lap the worst driver will have to say goodbye to the rest. Thankfully, you shouldn't have any problems overtaking your opponents and maintaining a stable lead. You will have to watch out for two tight turns (#1; #2). Other than that, you will only have to slow down here and there. You will be dealing with a lot of mild curves and it's very easy to get past them. I would recommend choosing a car from the A/B class. Don't worry about the bikers, because you will be able to escape them as well (they will be slowing down before each turn). You will have to complete seven full laps of the track.
Beat the clock
Level: Pro
Reward: 100000 dollars
Cars only!
Time limit: 22 minutes
This is one of the few long-distance races of the game. Thankfully, you shouldn't have any major problems finishing it within the given 22 minute time limit. This doesn't mean, however, that you shouldn't be careful. You won't be allowed to make too many mistakes. Additionally, it's going to be very important to keep moving, so it's better to slow down rather than participate in huge crashes. You will also have to remember about heavy traffic and police units. I wouldn't recommend hitting too many cars, because having an official pursuit on your tail would only mean trouble and you would be less concentrated on maintaining higher speeds. I would recommend choosing one of the faster cars for this challenge. Ferrari Enzo (A) or Ascari KZ1 (B) will do just fine. Just make sure that your car will be able to travel at 300-320 km/h because you'll be moving at similar speeds throughout most of the race. The first part of this challenge is going to be fairly simple, however it would be great to have a vehicle with an excellent acceleration value. You will also have to make sure that you don't hit too many cars along the way. You will be dealing with fairly difficult turns (#1). Sadly, you will have to use your brakes here in order to avoid leaving the main road. Additionally, watch out for faster corners (#2), especially if you plan on switching to the left lane. Remember that you won't be allowed to make too many unnecessary stops. Thankfully, there are a lot of straight pieces of the road here, so you'll be able to drive near the side of the road (#3). You should be able to reach a bridge at about seven minutes from the start (#4). You will have to slow down here in order to avoid cars and some of the nearby obstacles (including concrete walls). You will also be dealing with a large number of fast turns (#5). As a result, you will be using the brakes quite often, especially since you won't be able to drift there. I'm sure that you remember the lighthouse area. You will be able to speed up there, however you will also have to watch out for several difficult jumps (#6). Avoid hitting other cars or leaving the main road. Once you're near the lighthouse, you will have to turn left and keep moving (#7). There are some very challenging corners here, so make sure that you don't make any mistakes (#8). The final part of the race is going to be less difficult. If you're skilled enough, you should be able to reach the finish line in about 15-16 minutes, so you'll have plenty of time left.
