Ducati Day

Level: Champion

Prize: 60000 dollars

Manufacturer: Ducati bikes only

Time limit: 3 minutes 20 seconds

I'd strongly recommend buying the fastest Ducati motorcycle for this time trial challenge. It's going to be the mA class Ducati 999 R. You should also consider upgrading it to the highest level. It's going to cost you (along with the bike) 60000 dollars. That's a lot for a motorcycle, however I'm sure that you'll be able to afford it. The route itself is going to be quite challenging. The most important thing here will be to drive without making any major mistakes. If you do that, you shouldn't have any problems reaching the desired time limit. You won't have to worry about the first group of corners. They are fairly simple and you won't have to slow down too much in order to get past them. Hit the brakes once you've reached the top of a small hill (#1). You can't be driving too fast here. Otherwise you would have been probably launched in the air and that would result in crashing into a nearby barrier. You will also be dealing with sharper turns later during the race (#2). I suggest that you use the brakes wisely, especially if you don't want to end up outside the track. Sadly, you won't be able to cut through these corners. You should be able to complete one full lap in about 90 seconds. This means that you will finish this race about 20 seconds before the time meter runs out.

Triumph Time Attack

Level: Champion

Prize: 70000 dollars

Manufacturer: Triumph bikes only

Time limit: 3 minutes 15 seconds

This is by far one of the most difficult bike challenges of the entire game. The most important thing here will be to master driving a motorcycle on straight roads. You won't be allowed to hit any of the surrounding obstacles or cars, mostly because you would have been punished with A LOT of penalty seconds and you wouldn't be able to achieve the highest victory. You will also have to learn how to lean forward on a bike (#1). There's only one Triumph motorcycle in the game - Speed Triple. This bike has a maximum speed of about 230 km/h (fully upgraded), however if you decide to lean forward you will be able to increase it to about 250-255 km/h. This is a huge difference, especially on this particular track. I would recommend that you choose the side of the road, so you will be able to get past all civilian vehicles without having to slow down too much. You will be able to reach a very difficult hairpin at about half way through (#2). Once you've gone past it, start accelerating. You will also be dealing with very fast corners (#3). You could consider slowing down a little here, but I'm sure it won't be necessary. You will also have to deal with more difficult corners near the end of the lap (#4). Watch out for additional vehicles here!

Triumph Day

Level: Champion

Prize: 75000 dollars

Manufacturer: Triumph bikes only

This is also going to be a very difficult challenge. As a result, you will have to stay focused in order to win it without having to repeat the entire race. Your main concern are going to be your opponents. They won't be making any mistakes and you will have to be very fast in order to secure your first place. I guess I won't have to remind you to stay on the asphalt road at all times. Thankfully, you won't have to complete any laps. There are only nine checkpoints in the area. You will also be dealing with a lot of straight roads, so reaching them shouldn't take too long. You will have to start accelerating right away. Try to achieve a maximum possible speed here (#1), so you'll be able to overtake your competitors. You won't be able to use the brakes too often, especially if you don't want to lose your lead. There are some very challenging turns in the area (#2). Try to maintain a correct line, so you won't have to slow down too much. Thankfully, the final part of the race is going to be quite simple. Just make sure that you stay in the middle of the road (there aren't any corners here) and you should be just fine.

Ferrari Time Attack

Level: Champion

Prize: 75000 dollars

Manufacturer: Ferrari cars only

Time limit: 2 minutes

This is going to be a very simple time trial challenge, however I would recommend choosing Ferrari Enzo from the list of available cars. This is a Champion level race, so I guess that you've already bought this excellent car. If you're skilled enough, you should be able to reach the finish line about 40-50 seconds before the time meter runs out! Make a right turn after the start. Keep heading forward. You will be encountering tight turns along the way (#1), however you shouldn't have any problems cutting through these corners. The final part of the race will require you to speed up. You will also come across several mild curves (#2), but it's very easy to drift here.

Aston Martin Time Attack

Level: Champion

Prize: 75000 dollars

Manufacturer: Aston Martin cars only

Time limit: 2 minutes 40 seconds

This race is very similar to the previous Aston Martin challenge, mostly because you won't have to buy more expensive cars in order to secure a victory. V8 Vantage or DB9 Coupe will do just fine, however you must upgrade them in a tuning shop. The first part of the race will require you to deal with a small number of jumps (#1). Sadly, you won't be able to avoid some of the crashes. If this happens, I would recommend restarting the entire event. There are some mild curves here. Make sure that you don't end up outside the track. There's also a problem of heavy traffic. You will be dealing with faster corners later during the race (#2). It would be wise to slow down a little here. You could also try drifting, especially since it's very easy in these cars.
