Project: Gotham Racing - Strategy Guide (Page 04)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Project: Gotham Racing - Strategy Guide (Page 04).

------------------------
Race 1: Hot Lap - Single
------------------------
Location: New York - Central Park
Track: Central Park Paths
Initial target: 1 minute 25 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: A bit past the starting line you will have to make two left turns and
then a right turn, all located right next to each other. A little ways before
you get to the first checkpoint, you will have to go onto the dirt paths. After
the checkpoint you cross a street and go up a hill. Be careful when going up
that hill, you can easily spin out. After the hill, you have to follow this
very narrow path that winds quite a bit. You will then have to cross another
street and follow another path. This one doesn't wind quite as much at first,
but there are a couple of turns by the checkpoint. Take them slowly so you
don't lose control. After that, the path starts to wind quite a bit until you
get off of it and are back onto the paved roads. Right after you get back onto
the paved roads you will be at the loop, slide around it and continue on. Past
the loop there is a right turn, you will now be on a road with a sharp right a
 the end of it. After that there is a left then the road to the starting line.

-------------------------
Race 2: Hot Lap - Average
-------------------------
Location: New York - Wall Street
Track: Hanover Square
Initial target: 1 minute 20 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: After the first two turns you will find yourself on a very big road.
Once it ends, you'll find yourself going along a bunch of different alleys,
three to be exact. After those, you will go onto a medium-sized road that gets
narrower at the end and then a wider road with a checkpoint. After this, all of
the roads up until the next checkpoint will be narrow alleys, except for one
that does get wider. After that, you will be mostly on bigger roads up until
you get back to the starting line.

-----------------
Race 3: Timed Run
-----------------
Location: Tokyo - Asakusa
Track: Azuma-Bashi
Initial target: 3 minutes 30 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: Just like the other timed ruins it's raining here. The first turn you
have to make will be into the alley leading to the temple. Instead of going all
the way up to the temple you make a right into another alley before reaching
it. All of the roads after that are much wider. After the second checkpoint
slow down so that you can make that turns that takes you into the tunnel.

--------------------------
Race 4: Overtake Challenge
--------------------------
Location: San Francisco - Fishermans Wharf
Track: Museum Row
Initial target: 8 cars
Time: 3:00.000
Advice: This is another simple track to do an overtake challenge on. The only
advice for me to give is restart if you screw up. When you finish, you probably
won't be that far in front of the 8th car, so if you make a major mistake you
won't be able to catch up to it.

-------------------------------
Race 5: Average Speed Challenge
-------------------------------
Location: London - Westminster
Track: Houses of Parliament
Initial target: 40mph
Laps: 3
Advice: Your speed is only recorded when you pass a checkpoint in this type of
race, unlike top speed challenges where it's the speed you get anywhere on the
track. On this track all of the checkpoints are placed right after turns. For
the first checkpoint and the starting line, you will have to slide around the
turns with as much speed as you can and accelerate into the checkpoints. The
second checkpoint isn't as bad, since it isn't after a sharp turn. It still is
right after a turn, take the turn at an angle so you don't have to lose too
much speed.

----------------------------
Race 6: Total Laps Challenge
----------------------------
Location: San Francisco - Fishermans Wharf
Track: Embarcadero East III
Initial target: 8 laps
Time: 3:00.000
Advice: Not very hard. Just get conformable with sliding around the third and
fourth turns and beating this race should be a breeze.

-------------------
Race 7: Street Race
-------------------
Location: London - St. James' Park
Track: Old Admirality
Initial target: 3rd
Laps: 4
Advice: Fog. This is bad when you start the race on the street with the
monuments in the middle of it. Avoid the one that isn't very far in front of
you when you start. Once the dirt path that you take through the park ends, you
have to make a very sharp turn onto the road. Once you get off of this very
long road, you will have to make a left turn into the dirt area that gets
narrow enough to only fit one car through at a time. Once you turn back onto
the street with the starting line, avoid the statue in the middle of the
street.

-------------------
Race 8: Street Race
-------------------
Location: Tokyo - Shibuya
Track: Kuyakusho Mae
Initial target: 3rd
Laps: 4
Advice: Oddly similar to a track you raced on during the Tokyo level, isn't it?
Try to avoid the other cars at the first turn as much as you can. They like to
cause you to spin out. If that happens, just restart, recovering from a spin 
out can be nearly impossible if they hit you right. Other than that, all you
need to watch out for is the barrier in the road between the two checkpoints
and that one turn atop the hill after the second checkpoint.

-------------------
Race 9: Street Race
-------------------
Location: New York - Central Park
Track: Fifth Avenue
Initial target: 3rd
Laps: 3
Advice: Another race in Central Park. There's nothing you need to worry about
before the first checkpoint. In the next two places where the road you're on
turns, don't think you can get through the turns without having to brake, you
won't make it through them unless you do. When it turns for the third time,
you're going to have to brake as well. For the turn after the checkpoint, a
slide should get you through it just fine. On this road, you might have to slow
down a bit where it makes a slight right turn. Slide through the two turns at
the end of it and finish up this race.

-------------------
Race 10: One On One
-------------------
Location: San Francisco - Pacific Heights
Track: Lafayette Park
Initial target: -5 seconds
Laps: 4
Advice: Winning here can be quite the challenge. What I recommend here is to do
one lap of practice and see how many kudos you are able to get. Multiply that
by four for a simple estimate of how many kudos you can get in the race itself.
Then, adjust the difficulty so that the kudos you get from the target plus the
kudos you will get in the races equals at least 800 (What you need to get a
bronze medal). The track this race takes place isn't that difficult. Take it
like you would any track in the Pacific Heights, just watch out on the street
with the planets.

********************************************
8.08 - Level 8: World Tour
********************************************

Races: 12 (Timed run x4, style challenge x4, street race x4)
Medal requirements: Gold - 1700 Kudos, Silver - 1300 Kudos, Bronze - 900 Kudos

This is one of the hardest levels in Kudos Challenge. Forget about setting your
target in street races to first place every time, in some races you will want
to set it to second. In streets races, the car in first place will be very
fast, but it is still easy to get in second. You should also begin to add about
5 seconds to your time for timed runs, to make it a bit more reasonable. You
won't always need it, but often you will be cutting it a little bit too close
if you don't add it.
You might want to start practicing using manual transmission if you haven't
already, for the extra speed. Starting in this level you should avoid the other
cars in street race at all costs. If you're in front of one and it wants to
pass, it won't hesitate to bump you and send you spinning. That can very well
cost you the whole race, so get good at not letting that happen.

-----------------
Race 1: Timed Run
-----------------
Location: San Francisco - Financial District
Track: Financial District
Initial target: 3 minutes 10 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: A timed run, this means rain. Since this race takes place in the
Financial District, the track shouldn't be very difficult for you. There is a
sharp turn before the second turn which you will not have seen before, though.
Remember what I said about adding time to the target time? This is a good race 
to start doing that. When I beat this race I had 1 second left on the clock.

-----------------------
Race 2: Style Challenge
-----------------------
Location: San Francisco - Pacific Heights
Track: The Straightaway
Initial target: 740 Kudos
Laps: 2
Advice: Go through the first gate past the starting line and force a slide to
get to the next gate. Go through the rest of the gates on this street and then
slide around the corner. Go through the gates here and slide around the corner
onto another street with gates for you to pass through. Go through them, slide
around the corner at the end of the street, but make sure you end up to the
left of the cones here to pass this gate. Force a slide to the right side of
the street to pass this next gate. Go in between the two planters to pass a
speed gate and then slide around the corner. Navigate this path between the
cones slowly, so you don't hit the cones. You'll have to force very small
slides if you want to keep your combo going between the gates. Slide around the
corner and force slide for this first block, but pass the gates to the right of
the cones in the intersection. Slide around the corner and pass through these
two gates. Slide again, around the next corner, pass the single gate and slide
around this turn. Go through all of the gates to get back to the starting line.

-------------------
Race 3: Street Race
-------------------
Location: San Francisco - Fishermans Wharf
Track: Taylor St.
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 5
Advice: This is probably the easiest race in this level. You should be able to
come in first, but it won't be all that easy. By now you should know to take
the turn at the top of the big hill slowly to avoid spinning out and know how
to slide around the switchback. Try to stay away from the other cars as much as
you can, like I said, they have the ability to make you spin if they hit you
hard enough.

-----------------
Race 4: Timed Run
-----------------
Location: London - Trafalgar
Track: Leicester Square
Initial target: 2 minutes 40 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: This timed run I found to be a bit easier than the last one. You 
probably won't have to add a few seconds to the clock. That's because this
track isn't all that hard. No big turns to worry about or very narrow roads you
have to go along. There is that damned traffic light of whatever in the middle
of the road after the first checkpoint, though. The last turn is the only turn 
hat could be considered difficult, it's a but sharper than usual, but nothing
much since you have a lot of room to turn.

-----------------------
Race 5: Style Challenge
-----------------------
Location: London - Westminster
Track: Thames Challenge II
Initial target: 750 Kudos
Laps: 2
Advice: Go through the cone gates a bit of a ways past the starting line. After
the fourth one, force a slide to get to the next ones. Past the two speed
gates, force a slide to get to the turn and the gates around the turn. You
might not want to slide around this turn, because of the gates. Go through the
gates on the bridge and then slide around the next corner. Force a slide to
make it to the next few gates. After the third speed gate, force a slide to get
to the next cone gate. Force a slide from there through the next gate to the
corner. Slide through the turns here and then pass the speed gate and
checkpoint. Force another slide after the fourth turn to get to the speed gate.
From there, slide all the way around this big turn. After you make the right
turn, you will have to force slide all the way along this bridge and
straigtaway if you want to keep your combo going. Yes, all the way along it.
There are no gates at all on it. Slide around the turns at the end and then
force a slide after the fourth. Slide around the corner at the end of this
street to get to the starting line. To make it to the first cone gates you'll
have to force another slide.

-------------------
Race 6: Street Race
-------------------
Location: London - St. James' Park
Track: Duck Island
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 5
Advice: This is probably going to be the first race where you should set the
target to second place the first time you take a go at it. In these races, the
first place car and the second place car (Not counting you, wherever you may
be) are very far apart. You should be able to at the very least, come in second
without much trouble. You can come back later with a faster car to win to get
some revenge. Or a gold medal, whichever one you prefer. Remember, a simple
bump from one of the other cars can send your car spinning out of control,
costing you the race. The very first turn on this track is one of the easiest
places to get into first or second place. Your opponents will slow down more
than they need to, allowing you to pass them. Since this is the first turn on
the track, that gives them the rest of it to catch up to you. Right after the
turn onto the street with the first checkpoint there is a narrow passage you 
have to squeeze through. Going through this when you're too close to another
car can be very dangerous, as the other car could send you spinning. At the end
of this street there is a statue in the middle at the top of some stairs you
have to jump down. Your opponents will usually try and pass you on the
straightaways. You can try and block them but if you do that and they bump
you...

-----------------
Race 7: Timed Run
-----------------
Location: Tokyo - Shinjuku
Track: 1-Chome
Initial target: 3 minutes 20 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: Add five seconds to the target for the first time you play this race.
You'll need it unless you run perfect laps. Luckily for you, this race is in
Shinjuku. By now, you hopefully know that that means wide open roads and mostly
turns which are easy to make. The area around the starting line is a bit more
narrow, but you don't go through any of the bad turns on this particular track.
Near the end, you go on the street that's divided up in the middle, but one
side of it is closed off.

-----------------------
Race 8: Style Challenge
-----------------------
Location: Tokyo - Asakusa
Track: Beer-Biru Mae
Initial target: 750 Kudos
Laps: 2
Advice: Go through the first two gates after the starting line and then slide
around the corner. Force a slide through the first half of the tunnel to make
it to the next cone gates. After the turn, go through the gate and force a
slide to get to the speed gate. Force slide your way to the end of this street
and then slide around the corner. Go through the gates, plus the checkpoint on
this bridge and then slide around the corner at the end. Force slide your way
all the way down this street. Slide around the turn, pass the speed gate and
then force slide all the way down this street. Slide around the corner and
force slide your way to the gates on this street. It doesn't matter which gates
you go through, they're all the same. Slide around the corner and force slide
your way down this alley, if you dare. You really don't have to, but you can.
Pass the gate at the end and then slide around the corner at the end of the
alley. Pass the gate here and force slide your way from gate to gate until you
get to the turn. Slide around it and pass the gates to get back to the starting
line.

-------------------
Race 9: Street Race
-------------------
Location: Tokyo - Shibuya
Track: Jinnan Hairpin
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 6
Advice: Again, you should probably set the target to second place for this
race. Right off the bat you're going to have to make a left turn to the
underpass area. Take the left path or the inside one, because taking one of
them make sit easier to make the left turn right after you get out of it.
Before the first checkpoint you will have to go along the block that has the
divider in the middle of the street, watch out for that.

------------------
Race 10: Timed Run
------------------
Location: New York - Wall Street
Track: Maiden Lane
Initial target: 3 minutes 40 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: Again, add five seconds to the target before your first attempt at the
race. The track itself isn't very bad, there is only one alley that you have to
go through, which is located right after the first checkpoint. The rest of the
roads are mainly your averaged sized road and a couple of those medium-sized
ones. If this track isn't very difficult, why should you give yourself five
more seconds? Because even though it isn't very hard, you still will probably
have trouble getting through it in that amount of time.

------------------------
Race 11: Style Challenge
------------------------
Location: New York - Times Square
Track: Lexington Ave South
Initial target: 750 Kudos
Laps: 2
Advice: Go to the left of the first set of cones after the starting line and
then the right of the second set of cones to pass the first two gates. Pass the
gate on the left, slide around the corner and go to the right of the cones on
this street. Pass the speed gate at the end and then force a slide to get to
the gates up ahead. Avoid the cones scattered about the street and pass the
gates all the way up until the turn. Slide around this turn and pass the
checkpoint and speed gate. Slide around the corner here and pass all of the
gates on this street. Slide around this corner, pass the gate and force a slide
to get to the next corner. Slide around it, pass the two gates and force a
slide to get to the next corner, which you should slide around. Pass the two
gates and force a slide to the next turn. Slide through it, pass the gate to
the right of the cones and slide around the next corner. Pass all of these
gates and the ckeckpoint. Force a slide to get to the next two turns. After
the turns, you're going to have to force slide all the way until the next turn
if you wish to continue your combo. Slide around the corner at the end, pass
the gate and force slide your way to the end. Go through the gate at this
corner and go through all of these gates as fast as you can to get back to the
starting line.

--------------------
Race 12: Street Race
--------------------
Location: New York - Central Park
Track: Park Loop II
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 4
Advice: I'd be lying if I didn't say this was one of the hardest races in
Central Park. Again, set the target to second place, since coming in first will
be hard enough just because of the track itself, and then you have to worry
about how aggressive the other cars like to be in this level. After the third
turn, you get to go on the paths. As you should know from before, they wind
quite a bit and are very narrow. This path is no exception. You have to follow
it all the way to the first checkpoint and then back onto the roads after the
checkpoint. At the end of this road, you have to make a couple of sharp turns
and go onto another path. But don't worry about this path, it only goes to the
next road right behind it. Slow down where this road bends to the right. Near
the end of the lap is the loop, by now you should be able to take it easily.

********************************************
8.09 - Level 9: Challenge Tour
********************************************

Races: 10 (Hot lap - single, hot lap - average, total laps challenge, average
speed challenge, top speed challenge, timed run, style challenge, overtake
challenge, street race, one on one)
Medal Requirements: Gold - 1500 Kudos; Silver - 1200 Kudos; Bronze - 900 Kudos

This level is easier than the last one, and half of the races in this levels
are on some very simple tracks. (Simple as in that they are made up of a few
turns and some straightaways only)

------------------------
Race 1: Hot Lap - Single
------------------------
Location: New York - Wall Street
Track: State & Broadway
Initial target: 1 minute 10 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: There aren't that many alleys that you have to go through on this track
compared to many others in Wall Street. You have to go through a couple of them
between the two checkpoints and then the rest of the roads there are
medium-sized. From the second checkpoint to the starting line back to the first
checkpoint all of the roads are wider. The only turn that's the least bit sharp
is the one right before the second checkpoint, but it isn't much sharper than
any other turn.

-------------------------
Race 2: Hot Lap - Average
-------------------------
Location: London - Trafalgar
Track: St. Martin's
Initial target: 50 seconds
Laps: 4
Advice: You may want to up your target time a little bit to give yourself some
room to breathe. But if you don't, you may be cutting it a bit close. It's
raining here, but other than that there isn't all that much that you need to
look out for. Just the things in the middle of the street which you should be
used to by now. That traffic light thing is in the middle of the road right
before the second turn and you have to go through the building with the arches
right after the turn past the second checkpoint. The turn after the arches
takes you up the stairs onto the road with the statues in the middle of it.

----------------------------
Race 3: Total Laps Challenge
----------------------------
Location: Tokyo - Shibuya
Track: Hachi-Kou Mae
Initial target: 10 laps
Time: 3:00.000
Advice: Another total laps challenge on a very short and simple track. All this
track consists of, other than the straightaways, is a bend after the starting
line and two sets of two left turns right next to each other. Slow down just a
little for the bend and slide around the turns at either end of the track and
you'll have no problem.

-------------------------------
Race 4: Average Speed Challenge
-------------------------------
Location: San Francisco - Pacific Heights
Track: The Box
Initial target: 65mph
Laps: 5
Advice: This track is a big square. There are lots of big jumps for you to get
plenty of kudos here. The checkpoints and the starting line are in places where
you should have a decent amount of speed. Even the second checkpoint, which is 
right after a turn. The turns on this track are so wide that you can go through
them without slowing down all that much. At the end of the street with the
second checkpoint you will have to turn onto the street with the planters in
it.

---------------------------
Race 5: Top Speed Challenge
---------------------------
Location: San Francisco - Financial District
Track: The Embarcadero
Initial target: 105mph
Time: 1:30.000
Advice: Another simple track, just like the last two. Just like in the last two
speed challenges all the way back in level 5, you should see how fast your car
can go on this track, and then quit the race and adjust the target speed to
match what your car can do. There are speed gates right before both turns to
get you some extra kudos. Since this track is only two starightaways and two
big turns, the fog here won't be a problem.

-----------------
Race 6: Timed Run
-----------------
Location: New York - Times Square
Track: West 40s
Initial target: 4 minutes 10 seconds
Laps: 4
Advice: Don't adjust the target time for this race, you should have plenty of
extra time. By plenty I mean a whole 10 or so seconds. As you could have
guessed, it's raining. This track is made up of of many straightaways on wide 
roads with only 90-degree turns. There is one narrow road right after the
second checkpoint, but that's it.

-----------------------
Race 7: Style Challenge
-----------------------
Location: London - St. James' Park
Track: Buckingham Gate
Initial target: 750 Kudos
Laps: 2
Advice: There aren't very many gates on this track, so expect to force lots of
slides. After the first four gates force a slide to get to the next one. You
should be able to barely make it from that one to the next two. Force a slide
to make it to the speed gate up ahead. Slide around all of the turns here and
pass the checkpoint. The turns are close enough together for you to not have to
force a slide. Go through the gate and slide around the turns. Force slide your
way down this street, through the few gates here. At the end, slide your way
into the park and through the speed gate. There is one more gate between here
and the next checkpoint, so if you want to continue your combo you'll be doing
lots of forced sliding. Once you pass the checkpoint, pass the two gates and
slide around the corner. Now you get to force slide even more. The next gate is
at the end of the two lines of cones on either side of one of the monuments.
Force slide your way to the next turn and then go to the right of the cones to
pass the next three gates. Force slide your way to the turn, slide around it
and then pass the last gate before the starting line. You're going to have to
force slide again to get from the starting line to the first gates.

--------------------------
Race 8: Overtake Challenge
--------------------------
Location: Tokyo - Asakusa
Track: Sensoji
Initial target: 14 cars
Time: 3:30.000
Advice: Don't let the 14 car target scare you. You have enough time to pass
them all. It's raining during this race and three of the four streets on this
track are the narrow streets around the temple. As you go along in the race the
cars will start to bunch up and will be close together on the track instead of
staying spread out like how they were when you started.

-------------------
Race 9: Street Race
-------------------
Location: Tokyo - Shinjuku
Track: Tochou Dori Loop II
Initial target: 3rd
Laps: 5
Advice: This street race isn't as hard as the past few. You could set the
target for first place if you want to, or play it safe by staying with second.
This is another easy race through Shinjuku. Wide roads and easy turns. You
start on the road that's divided in the middle, but the right side is closed
off. Right before the first checkpoint is the only turn on this track that is
the least bit difficult, because you don't have as much room to turn as on the
other turns.

-------------------
Race 10: One On One
-------------------
Location: London - Westminster
Track: Milbank
Initial target: -5 seconds
Laps: 4
Advice: Another track with a simplistic design. A couple of straightaways, two
big turns and two smaller turns. Just slide around the bigger turns and go
around the smaller turns like any turn. The 5 second default headstart should
be enough to keep you ahead for the entire race.

********************************************
8.10 - Level 10: Endurance Season
********************************************

Races: 8 (Hot lap - single x4, street race x4)
NOTE: There are different medal requirements for the hot lap races and street
races in this level
Medal Requirements (Hot lap): Gold - 1600 Kudos; Silver - 1300 Kudos;
Bronze - 1000 Kudos
Medal Requirements (Street race): Gold - 8000 Kudos; Silver - 5000 Kudos;
Bronze - 2000 Kudos

They don't call this the endurance season for nothing. All four street races
(One on each city) in this level are 15 laps long. Although, they are much
easier than the street races in the last two levels, you can set the target to
first place for all of these without having to worry about a car passing you
right before the race ends, or not being able to get in first in the first
place. You should reach 150,000 kudos some time around this level and unlock
the Carrera GT. That car will become very useful and once you have it, you
should start using it for most races.

------------------------
Race 1: Hot Lap - Single
------------------------
Location: San Francisco - Fishermans Wharf
Track: The Waterfront
Initial target: 1 minute
Laps: 3
Advice: A simplistic track, just like many of the ones in the last level. All
of the turns are easy and all of the roads are nice and straight, but one. The
sharp turn is the one after the first checkpoint, by now you should know how
to slide around it easily because of all the space around it. The road that
isn't straight is the one after the sharp turn next to a parking lot and near
the water. You've been through it many times by now and know that isn't any
real threat.

-------------------
Race 2: Street Race
-------------------
Location: San Francisco - Financial District
Track: Cable Car
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 15
Advice: Your first 15 lap street race. This race takes place on an easy, albeit
long, track through the Financial District. There are no bad turns or narrow
roads for you to worry about screwing up on, causing you to lose. It's easy to
get into first and get very far ahead of the other cars by the end of the race,
when I finished this race I was about 15 seconds ahead of the second place car.

------------------------
Race 3: Hot Lap - Single
------------------------
Location: London - Westminster
Track: Westminster Challenge
Initial target: 1 minute 10 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: It's foggy and raining here, but that won't prevent you from seeing
that this track is easy as well. Slide around the loop after the first
straightway and slide through all of the turns after the first checkpoint.
Around the second checkpoint there are a few more turns that are usual for this
area, but you can still slide through them all with ease, like with all of the
other turns on this track.

-------------------
Race 4: Street Race
-------------------
Location: London - St. James' Park
Track: The Mall East
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 15
Advice: This street race is easy, just like the last one. Although, on this one
you have to actually worry about some things on the track like the statue in
front of the starting line and the place where the road gets very narrow for a
moment right after the first turn. There's also the statue at the end of that
road with the stairs by it. Right before the turn onto the street with the
starting line, the road gets narrow briefly again and there is a statue right
after the turn.

------------------------
Race 5: Hot Lap - Single
------------------------
Location: Tokyo - Asakusa
Track: Koen Minami
Initial target: 1 minute 15 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: Fog. And a few alleys. Right after the start you have to go up the
alley leading to the temple, all the way to the temple. After you leave the
temple and pass the checkpoint, you turn right onto a normally sized road. From
that road you go left through the only alleys on this track.

-------------------
Race 6: Street Race
-------------------
Location: Tokyo - Shinjuku
Track: Tochou Kita-Dori Higashi
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 15
Advice: Shinjuku again... You should know what that means, an easy track.
Except that this track houses the one turn that can be considered difficult in
all of Shinjuku. It's located after the first easy right and past the busses on
the left. It's a quick left then right, but you can cut through it. Your
opponents in this race will be just as easy as they were in the last two street
races.

------------------------
Race 7: Hot Lap - Single
------------------------
Location: New York - Times Square
Track: Bryant Park
Initial target: 1 minute 48 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: Just by looking at it you can tell that this track won't be as easy as
many of the last ones. But, just because it isn't as easy as the last ones
doesn't make it hard. After the third turn you have to go up along one of the
narrow roads along side Grand Central Station and make the turns along it. The
road that the second checkpoint is on is that narrow road that goes under a
building.

-------------------
Race 8: Street Race
-------------------
Location: New York - Wall Street
Track: FDR Drive Loop
Initial target: 3rd place
Laps: 15
Advice: This race is much harder than the past three street races. Use the
Carrera GT for it. If you don't have the Carrera GT, now is the time to unlock
it. The track is simple in design with only three real turns on it. The first
one can be quite a problem. Learn when you should start to brake for it, using
the buildings on the left to help since there are no markings on the street you
can use. It's better to slow down a bit too early than to end up going to fast
and hitting the wall, so slow down earlier than you think you have to until you
get the hang of the turn. Before the third turn there is a divider in the
middle of the road. Obviously, you should avoid it. It's also easy to go too
fast for the third turn, although not as easy as the first one. Going too fast
on this turn and hitting the wall can give the other cars a chance to pass you
up and get far ahead of you. You might want to try practicing the turns a
couple of times until you got the timing down for them.

8.11 - Level 11: World Class Season
********************************************

Races: 10 (Hot lap - single, timed run, top speed challenge, total laps
challenge, overtake challenge, style challenge, street race x3, one on one)
Medal Requirements: Gold - 2000 Kudos; Silver - 1500 Kudos; Bronze - 1000 Kudos

You should defiantly have the Carrera GT by now. If you don't, work on getting
the kudos to unlock it. With it this whole season will be no problem.

------------------------
Race 1: Hot Lap - Single
------------------------
Location: London - Westminster
Track: The Embankment Challenge
Initial target: 1 minute 30 seconds
Laps: 3
Advice: Yet another simple track. You can easily slide through the series of
turns at each end of the track like you've done quite a few times by now and
slide through the turns going on/off the bridge when you pass to the left of
the starting line. The turns before and after the starting line are a bit
tight, but can still be slid through.

-----------------
Race 2: Timed Run
-----------------
Location: London - St. James' Park
Track: The Treasury
Initial target: 4 minutes 50 seconds
Laps: 4
Advice: You get way more than enough time for this race. About thirty seconds
more than you should need, if you want more kudos drop the target time by 20 or
25 seconds. As usual, it's raining. The second turn takes you onto the road
that has a spot where it gets very narrow right after the turn and ends with
the stairs with a statue at the top. After the second checkpoint, you have to
go around part of the loop here, with the rain you can slide through it even
easier than before.

---------------------------
Race 3: Top Speed Challenge
---------------------------
Location: New York - Wall Street
Track: Water & FDR
Initial target: 105mph
Time: 1:30.000
Advice: Again, if you want to get as many kudos as possible take a practice run
to see how fast your car can go so you can adjust the target to meet that. The
track this takes place on is very different from the ones the other top speed
challenges took place on. You can only get a lot of speed on the straightaway
that you start on, the other one has a very dangerous S-bend in it that you
will have to slow down for. Instead of there being one big turn or two smaller
ones at each end of the track, the first one is made up of three turns of
varying sizes and the second one is made up of two smaller ones, but they are
much further apart than the ones in the other tracks. There are also speed
gates on this track before each series of turns.
