Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Project: Gotham Racing - Strategy Guide (Page 03).

------
London
------
Location: London - Westminster
Track: Old Palace Yard
Medal Requirements: Gold - 1550 Kudos; Silver - 1275 Kudos; Bronze - 1000 Kudos
Laps: 3
Advice: After the first five gates in front of you when you start there is a
very long gap that will require many forced slides to get through if you want
to continue your combo. When you get through it, pass the speed gate, force a
slide and then slide around the turn and through the cone gate. Pass the
checkpoint and head through the gates. Force another slide to get to the turn.
Past the turn, head to the right of the cones and pass through the gates and
then the checkpoint. Slide around this turn and pass the gates on this street.
Slide around the next couple of corners and then pass the next set of cone
gates. Go through the speed gate and then go to the left of the cones to get to
the cone gate. Force a slide to make it to the next speed gate and the starting
line, if you want to continue your combo.

-----
Tokyo
-----
Location: Tokyo - Shibuya
Track: Shibuya 1-chome Mae
Medal Requirements: Gold - 1500 Kudos; Silver - 1250 Kudos; Bronze - 1000 Kudos
Laps: 3
Advice: Start by going through the two gates to the left and then forcing a
couple of slides to get to the next cone gates. Pass the gates and then slide
around the corner. Pass these gates and the checkpoint. Slide around the corner
and force slide your way down the street. Go to the right of the cones on this
next street and pass the speed gate. Force a slide to get to the turn and force
another slide to make it to the checkpoint if you have to. Force yet another
slide after the checkpoint to make it to the turn. After the turn, pass the
gate and go to the RIGHT of the barrier. There are a few gates here and the
left has only a speed gate at the end. If you take the left, force a few slides
to get to that gate. Right after the barrier ends, go to the left of the cones
to get to the next few gates. Pass through some more gates, slide around the
corner and force a slide to make it back to the starting line.

--------
New York
--------
Location: New York - Central Park
Track: Central Park West
Medal Requirements: Gold - 2000 Kudos; Silver - 1800 Kudos; Bronze - 1600 Kudos
Laps: 3
Advice: For the length of the whole street you start on you will have to force
slide to get through the few cone gates. Slide around the corner at the end,
pass the speed gate and then start another forced slide. Slide around this
corner, pass the gate and slide around the corner. Slide again around this
corner at the end of this short street and pass the gate here. Force a slide
and then slide around the corner. Pass all of the gates plus the checkpoint
and then force a slide to make it to the speed gate, if you want to continue
your combo. Force slide again here, all the way to the turn. Start sliding
through the turn and then head to the right of the barrier near the edge of
the circle you have to drive around. Pass all of the gates here and start
sliding around the rest of the turn. Slide to the right and pass all of the
cone gates and the checkpoint. Slide around the corner and make the slide last
long enough to get you to the next cone gates. Force a slide to get to the next
speed gate and force another slide to get to the next gates and the starting
line.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. Kudos Challenge
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kudos Challenge is the real heart and soul of this game, you'll be spending
much more time here than the other modes. When you play a race for the first
time, you usually shouldn't change the difficulty of it. Leave that until you
know what you're capable of in that race and adjust it to that to get the
maximum amount of kudos you can. An exception is street race, you should always
adjust it so you have to come in first place. Getting in first place isn't very
hard and you get a lot of kudos (1000) for doing so. As for what cars to use,
use the cars that you like the best. You don't always have to go for a car you
just unlocked.
In levels that have a one on one race, that should be the first race you do of
that level, so you have that car at your disposal for the entire level.

********************************************
8.01 Level 1: Introduction
********************************************

Races: 4 (Hot lap - single, style challenge, street race, one on one)
Medal requirements: Gold - 100 Kudos, Silver - 600 Kudos, Bronze - 200 Kudos

All of these races are very easy, but don't worry if you don't beat them on
your first try if you still are getting used to playing the game.

------------------------
Race 1: Hot Lap - Single
------------------------
Location: San Francisco - Financial District
Track: Warehouse Row
Initial target: 33 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: A very simple track to start off Kudos Challenge. The first turn right
after the starting line is the only one you have to worry about. It's a sharp
turn and even though the road you're turning onto is very wide, it doesn't make
it much harder to hit the barrier on the side. The rest of the turns are easy
to take and easy to slide around to get kudos. Don't worry about the target of
33 seconds, it's easy to get a time below that.

-----------------------
Race 2: Style Challenge
-----------------------
Location: New York - Times Square
Track: West 45th
Initial target: 200 Kudos
Laps: 2
Advice: Unless you played through some of Arcade Race, this is going to be your
first race for kudos. A valuable thing to know for these races is that you will
probably need to get big combos to get the gold medals. To help you continue
combos in areas where there are no turns to slide around or cone gates to pass
through, you'll have to do something which I refer to as forcing a slide. There
are two ways to do this. Either tap the handbrake until you slide a bit or
swerve left and right until you start to slide. Be careful when doing these, as
you can loose control and hit a wall if you screw up. You don't have to listen
to my advice for style challenges to the word, if you do you should be able to
get a combo through the whole track. You do not need to do that EVER to get a
gold. You can stop and let the kudos get added to your score and then start
another combo later a few times each race and still get a gold.
Start out the race by going through the gates in front of you. After the third
one, you can force a slide to get to the turn. Slide around the turn and go
through all of the gates here and then pass the checkpoint. Slide around the
turn to find another gate. Pass it and slide around the next turn to find a
street where you'll have to force a slide or two to get through if you want
your combo to continue. Slide around the corner at the end and pass through all
of the gates here. Force slide at the end and slide around the corner. Pass the
checkpoint here and all the gates on this street to make it to the last corner
before the starting line.

-------------------
Race 3: Street Race
-------------------
Location: Tokyo - Shinjuku
Track: Tochou Dori Loop
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 2
Advice: As I said before, adjust the difficulty to make your target first
place. Start out the race by heading down the first street. Brake a bit early
for the turn so you can get to the right side of the thing dividing the street.
The next turn is a right immediately followed by a left. After that there is a
right followed by a very long street. Make sure you don't forget to brake for
the right turn after it! There's another big right right before the starting
line. Getting first place on this race isn't that difficult, this is only the
first level of Kudos Challenge.

------------------
Race 4: One On One
------------------
Location: London - Trafalgar
Track: Duke of York
Initial target: -2 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: Just leave the target at -2 seconds. If you have trouble, you can
always try again and adjust it. At the start of the race, make sure not to hit
those arches on the building in the road. After them there is a left turn
followed up by a right. There's another left at the top of this hill onto a
long street with another left turn at the end. After that street, be careful as
there are some monuments/statues in the middle of the street. There are some 
stairs by the second one that you'll have to jump down. Make sure you aren't
going very fast when you hit them so you have time to make the turn after you
land.

********************************************
8.02 - Level 2: Amateur Season
********************************************

Races: 5 (Hot lap - single, overtake challenge, street race x2, one on one)
Medal requirements: Gold - 1000 Kudos, Silver - 650 Kudos, Bronze - 250 Kudos

Still easy, perhaps even easier since you should be somewhat used to how the
game plays by now.

------------------------
Race 1: Hot Lap - Single
------------------------
Location: Tokyo - Shibuya
Track: Jinnan Loop
Initial target: 35 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: The first turn after the starting line is right after a hill, so make
sure you brake a little bit earlier than you normally would for a turn like
this to compensate for the little bit of extra speed you might have from coming
down it. After the first checkpoint there is a sharp turn that can be a real
pain. You should be able to slide around it, though. Right before the starting
line there is a turn that always caused trouble for me. Just be sure to brake
enough for it and don't turn too early (I usually do when I don't go too fast
and end up hitting the barrier on the inside).

--------------------------
Race 2: Overtake Challenge
--------------------------
Location: London - St. James' Park
Track: Queen Victoria Memorial
Initial target: 3 cars
Time: 1:15.000
Advice: This track doesn't have any sharp turns and since it's raining, you
should be able to slide around all of the turns without having to use your
handbrake. Since this is the first overtake challenge, it should be very easy
for you to pass all of the cars here.

-------------------
Race 3: Street Race
-------------------
Location: San Francisco - Fisherman's Wharf
Track: Beach St.
Initial target: 3rd
Laps: 2
Advice: This race takes place on a track that luckily for you, only has
90-degree turns. After the first turn, go up the hills but slow down enough for
the turn so that you don't jump and end up hitting the wall. You can spin out
a little bit on this turn and the next one if you aren't careful. After the
next one you'll be at the top of the hill. Take this turn very slowly so you
don't hit the barriers and so you don't spin out. When going down this hill
make sure to brake before you jump for the last time so that you aren't going
too fast to make the turn at the bottom.

-------------------
Race 4: Street Race
-------------------
Location: New York - Central Park
Track: Central Park
Initial target: 3rd
Laps: 3
Advice: This track is almost too easy for one in Central Park. After the second
checkpoint you have to turn onto a narrow road, so make sure you aren't going
very fast. After that you have to make another turn on these narrow roads.
Then the road turns, slow down just a little to make sure you don't hit
the outside barrier.

------------------
Race 5: One On One
------------------
Location: New York - Wall Street
Track: Wall Street Tour
Initial target: 0 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: The first turn is onto a street that is kind of narrow and then after
that the next turn is onto another road that is just as narrow. The next turn
will take you onto a road that is wider at first but gets narrower at the end.

********************************************
8.03 - Level 3: San Francisco
********************************************

Races: 6 (Hot lap - single, total laps challenge, overtake challenge, street
race x2, one on one)
Medal requirements: Gold - 1200 Kudos, Silver - 750 Kudos, Bronze - 300 Kudos

Things are still pretty easy here, but getting gold and silver medals gets a
bit harder. Getting all gold and silver medals on this level will unlock Free
Roam mode for San Francisco.

------------------------
Race 1: Hot Lap - Single
------------------------
Location: San Francisco - Fishermans Wharf
Track: The Switchback
Initial target: 52 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: You're going to end up having to make it through the switchback in this
track. Go very slow before the third turn, if you don't you could spin out. For
the switchback, tap your handbrake to spin your car around it.

----------------------------
Race 2: Total Laps Challenge
----------------------------
Location: San Francisco - Financial District
Track: Half Block
Initial target: 7 laps
Time: 1:30.000
Advice: All this track is is four short straight roads and four turns. It's
easy enough to get a bronze medal here, all you have to do is complete the 7
laps which isn't very hard. Getting a gold or silver here will be much harder.
Your best bet will be to either use your joker or get a very large kudos combo.

--------------------------
Race 3: Overtake Challenge
--------------------------
Location: San Francisco - Pacific Heights
Track: Octavia North
Initial target: 4 cars
Time: 2:00.000
Advice: It is very easy to get kudos on this track because of the jumps you'll
make on the hills and the turns. You should have no problem at all passing the
four cars, just don't take the turns at the top of the hill too fast and spin
out.

-------------------
Race 4: Street Race
-------------------
Location: San Francisco - Pacific Heights
Track: Buchanan St.
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 2
Advice: Don't worry about the fog, it shouldn't hamper your driving very much
since it's still very easy to see where the turns are. After the first turn is
the street with the planters in the middle, don't let it take you by surprise.
Remember not to take the turns at the top of hills/going onto hills too quickly
because you know you can spin out.

-------------------
Race 5: Street Race
-------------------
Location: San Francisco - Financial District
Track: Ferry Dock
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 2
Advice: This track is really easy. The only thing on it that can be a problem
is the first turn. On that turn you can cut across the sidewalk to the right of
the first part of the turn and slide through the rest of it.

------------------
Race 6: One On One
------------------
Location: San Francisco - Fishermans Wharf
Track: Hyde St.
Initial target: -5 seconds
Laps: 2
Advice: By now you should be familiar with what to do on tracks in Fishermans
Wharf. Don't go too fast on the turns around the second checkpoint on this
track and slow down before the last jump when going down the hill. You can
easily make the turn right before the starting line by using your handbrake.

********************************************
8.04 - Level 4: London
********************************************

Races: 7 (Timed run, hot lap - average, style challenge, top speed challenge,
street race x3)
Medal requirements: Gold - 1300 Kudos, Silver - 850 Kudos, Bronze - 400 Kudos

Just as easy as the last level, if not easier because of the lack of hills.
Getting a gold or silver medal in every race on this level will unlock Free
Roam mode for London.

-----------------
Race 1: Timed Run
-----------------
Location: London - St. James' Park
Track: Downing Street
Initial target: 2 minutes 35 seconds
Laps: 4
Advice: You should get more than enough time to complete this first timed run.
It will be raining, but you can use that to help you slide around corners.
Right after the start, make sure you don't hit the statue in the middle of the
street. Just past the first turn the road gets very narrow. When you turn back
onto the street with the starting line, make sure to stay out of the middle to
avoid hitting anything. There will be some other cars driving around the track
as well, try not to hit them.

-------------------------
Race 2: Hot Lap - Average
-------------------------
Location: London - Westminster
Track: Waterloo Station
Initial target: 25 seconds
Laps: 5
Advice: You should be able to slide around all of the turns on this track very
easily to get you some kudos. Right after the checkpoint there is a very narrow
turn that you must take. The next two aren't as narrow, but the one right after
the turn is also quite narrow. You should be able to slide through all of
these. The big turn after that is quite easy to make, it's very wide and you
can also slide right through it.

-----------------------
Race 3: Style Challenge
-----------------------
Location: London - Trafalgar
Track: Regent St.
Initial target: 200 Kudos
Laps: 2
Advice: There's a long gap from the start to the first gate. You'll have to
force a slide to make it from the starting line to that gate. After the gate,
slide through the turn and force a slide to make it to the next gates. Go
through them and force another few slides to get to the next gates. It doesn't
matter if you go to the left or the right of the monuments, the gates are the
same. Jump down the stairs (Make sure you can turn afterwards) and go through
the gates here.

---------------------------
Race 4: Top Speed Challenge
---------------------------
Location: London - Westminster
Track: Westminster Bridge
Initial target: 105mph
Time: 1:30.000
Advice: Before you play this for real, you should take a lap or two around this
track with whatever car you're going to use to see how fast it can go. Once you
do, adjust the target speed to as high as the car can go.
On the stretch of road right after the starting line you should probably slow
down before you get to the speed gate so you can make the turn. This turn is
very wide and very easy to slide around. On the stretch of road after that turn
you should probably slow down around the checkpoint so that you can make the
turn. You can go through any of the arches here as there are only two gates
which both span all three arches on either side. Slide through the next two
turns and pass the speed gate. Slide around the corner, pass the checkpoint and
slide around the next corner. Go through the gates and at the end, force a
slide to make it to the next turn. Slide around these turns and go to the left
of the cones right after the turn to pass a few gates. You'll have to force a
slide to make it back to the checkpoint and force another one if you want to
make it to the first gate.

-------------------
Race 5: Street Race
-------------------
Location: London - Trafalgar
Track: Charing Cross
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 3
Advice: Slide around the first turn and then watch out for the traffic lights
or whatever in the middle of the road before the next turn. There are a lot of
gentle turns between the two checkpoints that you probably won't have to brake
for; but make sure that you do brake for the turn that leads to the second
checkpoint. On the last turn, make sure that you aren't too close to the inside
of the turn because if you are you will slam head on into a wall.

-------------------
Race 6: Street Race
-------------------
Location: London - St. James' Park
Track: Horse Guards
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 4
Advice: The track itself in this race is easy but the cars you're racing
against can cause some problems for you on turns. Don't let the other cars get
in your way when you turn, if they do they can make it much more difficult to
turn and you'll loose some speed. If you have to, you can be aggressive and
force them out of your way.

-------------------
Race 7: Street Race
-------------------
Location: London - Westminster
Track: Thames Challenge
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 3
Advice: Very long stretches of road and wide turns. Make sure that the car that
you're using for this race can go faster than all of the other cars. All of the
turns except for the last ones are easy to slide around. The turns right before
the starting line might be too far apart for you to slide around with one big
slide.

********************************************
8.05 - Level 5: Tokyo
********************************************

Races: 8 (Hot lap - single, hot lap - average, overtake challenge,
style challenge, street race x3, one on one)
Medal requirements: Gold - 1300 Kudos, Silver - 900 Kudos, Bronze - 500 Kudos

If you haven't been doing what I said about doing the one on ones first in
chapters that have them, make sure you do the one on one in this one first
anyway. You get the Skyline from it, a car you will probably be using for quite
some time. Getting all gold and silver medals on this level will unlock Free
Roam for Tokyo.

------------------------
Race 1: Hot Lap - Single
------------------------
Location: Tokyo - Shinjuku
Track: Nishi-Guchi Mae
Initial target: 44 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: This race takes place in Shinjuku, so you won't have much to worry
about since most of the roads are wide and there are mostly 90-degree turns.
There is a 180-degree turn right before the second checkpoint, but you can
easily slide through it.

-------------------------
Race 2: Hot Lap - Average
-------------------------
Location: Tokyo - Shibuya
Track: Meiji Dori Loop
Initial target: 38 seconds
Laps: 4
Advice: Easy just like the last race. However, it is raining, so remember to
take things a bit slower (Especially the turn after the second checkpoint).
Also, watch out for the divider in the road after the starting line.

--------------------------
Race 3: Overtake Challenge
--------------------------
Location: Tokyo - Shibuya
Track: Shibuya Eki Loop
Initial target: 8 cars
Time: 2:00.00
Advice: This is the only track in the game with anything that resembles a
shortcut (Or two shortcuts, actually) in it. Right at the start you can either
go to the right, which is the shorter way, or go straight and then turn right.
Always take the first right since it is faster. When you get to the underpass
area, you should take the inside path or the one to the right side. Right when
you come out of the underpass area there is another place where you can turn
right or go straight and then turn right. Go right and not straight for the
faster route again. You shouldn't have trouble beating this race if you take
those shorter routes. If you don't, it'll be much harder to pass the eight cars
and even harder if you raise the target to get a gold.

-----------------------
Race 4: Style Challenge
-----------------------
Location: Tokyo - Asakusa
Track: Houzou Mon'Mae
Initial target: 400 Kudos
Laps: 2
Advice: Go through the gates right after the starting line and force a slide to
get to the corner. Slide around the corner but be warned, there are cones in
the middle of the next street so don't hit them while you are turning. Go
through the gates here and then slide around the turn at the end. Go through
the gates here plus the checkpoint and then slide around the turn. Pass all of
the gates here and start your slide for the next turn a bit early so you can
continue your combo and so you can get on the right side of the cones on the
next street. If you made it to the right side, pass through the gates and
if not, force a slide if you want. Now you're in the alley leading up to the
temple. I wouldn't risk forcing slides in here but you can. Halfway through,
there is a speed gate and a checkpoint. One you get out of the alley, go to the
right and pass through the five gates here. If you don't go right, there are
only two gates. Slide around the turn, pass the speed gate and force a slide to
make it back to the starting line.

-------------------
Race 5: Street Race
-------------------
Location: Tokyo - Shinjuku
Track: Higashi Dori Loop
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 4
Advice: Another not-so-difficult race in Shinjuku, although this particular
track has a few more nasty turns than most here. First of all, after the first
turn you go onto the street which is divided up by the plants. Choose a side to
take before you turn (Left is best) and slow down at the right time to get to
that side. After that turn you have to go through a small S-bend. It isn't the
worst of S-Bends, but slow down a little bit. Before the end you have to make a
very sharp turn. As you should know by know, turns like these are easier t
 make when you use your handbrake to get around them.

-------------------
Race 6: Street Race
-------------------
Location: Tokyo - Asakusa
Track: Sumida-Gawa Loop
Initial target: 3rd
Laps: 3
Advice: After the first checkpoint you will have to go into an alley and then
from there you turn into another alley. That's about the only thing the lest
bit difficult with this race. Also, be careful of the turn when you come out of
the tunnel with the second checkpoint.

-------------------
Race 7: Street Race
-------------------
Location: Tokyo - Shibuya
Track: Koen-Dori Mae
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 3 laps
Advice: This track also isn't that bad. There are just a few turns that are
shortly followed up by another turn. After the first checkpoint is the turn
which I've told you to watch out for since it likes to trick you into turning
too early or too late almost every time you take it. When you turn onto the
street with the starting line stay near one of the sides, because this is the
street with the divider in the middle of it.

------------------
Race 8: One On One
------------------
Location: Tokyo - Asakusa
Track: Taito-Ku Challenge
Initial target: -2 seconds
Laps: 4
Advice: Hopefully you're doing this race first like I said to do all one on
ones first. You'll especially want to do this first since the Skyline is a car
that you will be using for quite some time. After you pass the first checkpoint
and make the turn, you'll be on a street with a turn into an alley at the end.
From that alley you'll have to make a left into another alley. After the second
checkpoint, you'll turn and then turn again into the alley leading up to the
temple. You have to make a turn before you reach the temple onto the alley
where you started the race.

********************************************
8.06 - Level 6: New York
********************************************

Races: 9 (Hot lap - single x2, hot lap - average, style challenge, timed run,
overtake challenge, street race x3)
Medal requirements: Gold - 1300 Kudos, Silver - 950 Kudos, Bronze - 600 Kudos

This is where things start to get a little bit tougher. Getting all gold and
silver medals on this level will unlock Free Roam mode for New York.

------------------------
Race 1: Hot Lap - Single
------------------------
Location: New York - Central Park
Track: Transverse Track
Initial target: 1 minute 25 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: Right after the starting line you have to go through the loop. Just
slide on through it like with other turns like it (The ones in Westminster).
Once you get off of it you're on a road in the park. This road ends with a
sharp right onto a somewhat-narrow road. After the first checkpoint you have to
make a left, followed by a right and then another left. Make sure you slow down
enough on the road with the second checkpoint since you will be going very fast
on it.

-------------------------
Race 2: Hot Lap - Average
-------------------------
Location: New York - Times Square
Track: Grand Central
Initial target: 53 seconds
Medal requirements: Gold - 1300 Kudos, Silver - 950 Kudos, Bronze - 600 Kudos
Laps: 5
Advice: This track takes you around Grand Central Station, which isn't good.
Most of the roads on this track are very narrow and it's raining. After the
second turn you have to make a turn into a very confined area and make some
turns in it. After the next checkpoint you have to go back into another part
of that confined area and make more turns in it.

------------------------
Race 3: Hot Lap - Single
------------------------
Location: New York - Wall Street
Track: Nassau Street
Initial target: 1 minute 15 seconds
Medal requirements: Gold - 1300 Kudos, Silver - 950 Kudos, Bronze - 600 Kudos
Laps: 3
Advice: Nothing like a race through the alleys of Wall Street. Except maybe
something worse, a race through the trails of Central Park. If you couldn't
tell from that, the race isn't going to be fun and takes place in a bunch of
alleys. The first turn right after the starting line is onto an alley. After
that, you do go onto a road that is considerably wider and after that you get
to go on a medium-sized road. It does get very narrow towards the end, however.
After that road you make a right and then a left onto a very wide street. Once
you turn off of it and onto this other medium-sized road alley, you have to go
onto an alley again. The turn from this alley to the alley with the checkpoint
has to be one of the worst turns in the entire game. It's so narrow that it is
almost impossible to make it without hitting the wall. After this you go onto
a lot of roads that are more medium-sized and one very wide one. The medium
ones get narrower in parts so watch out. The road that leads up to the starting
line is very narrow, as well.

-----------------------
Race 4: Style Challenge
-----------------------
Location: New York - Times Square
Track: Times Square
Initial target: 500 Kudos
Medal requirements: Gold - 1300 Kudos, Silver - 950 Kudos, Bronze - 600 Kudos
Laps: 3
Advice: To get from each of the cone gates in front of the starting line
without causing a combo to end you're going to have to force some slide unless
you have a _very_ fast car. At the end of this street, slide around the two
corners. Pass the gates and the checkpoint, after they end you'll have to force
a slide to get to the turn. Slide through the turn and pass the gates on the
left. Slide again, around the next corner and pass the speed gate. Slide around
this corner at the end and pass the checkpoint. Now slide around this next
corner and slide yet again around the corner after that. There is another
corner for you to slide around here, slide around it and then pass through the
gates. You may have to force a slide to make it to the starting line if you
want to continue your combo.

-----------------
Race 5: Timed Run
-----------------
Location: New York - Wall Street
Track: Water Street
Initial target: 4 minutes
Laps: 3
Advice: Another timed run, and like the last one in London it is also raining
here. It actually rains in all of the timed runs. After the first turn you
have to turn onto one of those medium-sized roads from the third race and then
into a narrow alley. At the end of this alley you have to turn onto another
alley and then onto a bigger street with the first checkpoint. The next couple
of streets are smaller but not that small. The street with the second checkpoint
is very narrow and then at the end you have to make a very sharp turn. You
don't have much room to make the turn, so go into it very slowly and slide
through it.

--------------------------
Race 6: Overtake Challenge
--------------------------
Location: New York - Central Park
Track: Columbus Circle
Initial target: 8 cars
Time: 2:30.000
Advice: If you couldn't tell already, overtake challenge don't take place on
the most complex tracks. Unfortunately for you, there is fog in this race.
Shortly after the starting line you'll have to go around the loop (You can
slide, as usual) and make a left into a path that is a bit narrow. The other
turns aren't as bad, if you can call those bad. Make sure you get the layout of
the track down because the fog can really hamper your driving ability on this
one and cause you to slam into a wall.

-------------------
Race 7: Street Race
-------------------
Location: New York - Times Square
Track: Avenue of the Americas
Initial target: 3rd
Laps: 3
Advice: This track may look very difficult, but it really isn't. Every turn is
a 90-degree turn and the only narrow road is the short one after the third
turn. The rest of the roads are nice and wide. You should have a very easy time
coming in first.

-------------------
Race 8: Street Race
-------------------
Location: New York - Wall Street
Track: Broadway
Initial target: 3rd
Laps: 3
Advice: More fun in Wall Street. After the first turn you get to go on a narrow
street but quickly make a right onto a medium-sized one. After that you go
onto another medium-sized one (Unless you have problems with driving on the
sidewalk, then it's narrow) and then onto a bigger street. Turn and then go
along another medium-sized street and back into another alley after that. There
are a few more medium-sized streets here and then you get to go back on the
bigger roads all the way to the starting line.

-------------------
Race 9: Street Race
-------------------
Location: New York - Central Park
Track: Playground Loop
Initial target: 3rd
Laps: 3
Advice: Right after the start you have to go around the loop (Which you
hopefully know how to deal with by now) and then onto a very long and wide
street. After the checkpoint you have to make a turn onto a much smaller street
and then make a very sharp turn onto another street that is about the same
size. Once you get off of that, you have to make a few turns and then you are
on the trails for the first time. The trail you are on winds quite a bit and is
very narrow. It's also very easy to spin out on it right before you get back
onto the road. At the end of this road you have to make a sharp turn to get
back onto the road with the starting line.
