---------------------
Race 13: Speed Camera
---------------------
Tier 5
City: Chicago
Track: Speed Camera Track 1
Laps: N/A
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: All of the big turns on this track are at the start. There are a total
of three of them, all left turns. The first one is right in front of where you
start. That puts you onto a street that goes across the divided bridge. On the
other side is the second left turn. That turn puts you onto a very wide street.
The last left turn is at the end of this short street. The turn itself is so
wide, you don't even have to brake. After that, there is the street that goes
to the end of the track. It goes across a bridge, past two gentle turns and
then past the speed camera. This speed camera challenge is actually on the easy
side. The speed you need to get to beat it on expert is rather low. All you
have to do to beat it on expert is get through that third left turn with as
much speed as possible and then gun it to the speed camera.

--------------------
Race 14: Street Race
--------------------
Tier 5
City: Chicago
Track: Lower Wacker Run
Laps: 5
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: This race is very difficult. The track is long and has a lot of turns,
and the other cars will never be too far behind you, so you can't afford to
make any mistakes. You wont be able to pass any of the other cars right away,
but you will be able to on the left turn before you cross the first bridge. You
wont be able to get into first on that turn, so you will have to drive
flawlessly until you can catch up to and pass the first place car.


**************************************
2.10 - Super Car Series
**************************************
Cities: Florence, Edinburgh, Sydney
Tiers: 6
Races: 14 (1x Timed Run, 2x Overtake, 2x One on One, 1x Speed Camera, 5x Street
           Race, 3x Hot Lap)

This series is where things start to get hard. All of the races in this series
are much more difficult than the races you've done so far. You might want to
try beating them on medium before you try to beat them on anything else.

-----------------
Race 1: Timed Run
-----------------
Tier 1
City: Florence
Track: Piazza della Repubblica
Laps: 6
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This race takes place on a very easy and simple track, but that doesn't
mean that the race itself is the least bit easy. The times you have to finish
the race on in hard and expert only differ by two seconds. Because of that,
just beating it on hard will be incredibly difficult. If you want to beat it on
hard or expert, you will have to drive perfectly, and you will have to have a
very fast car.

----------------
Race 2: Overtake
----------------
Tier 1
City: Florence
Track: Piazza della Signoria 2
Laps: N/A
Weather: Sunny
Advice: You get the same amount of time to beat this race on expert, hard or
medium, so that makes things a little bit easier on you. The last few cars
wont be very close together, though, and that makes it a little harder. The
track this race takes place on may look easy, but it does have some turns that
are easy to take a bit too fast and crash on.

------------------
Race 3: One on One
------------------
Tier 2
City: Florence
Track: Piazza della Signoria 1
Laps: 3
Weather: Sunny
Advice: Since the first turns on this track are gentle turns and not sharper,
the car you are racing against wont slow down enough for you to pass it. You
will be able to pass it on the street that follows them. If you don't, you
still can pass it on the turn that is on the other side of the bridge this
street goes over.

--------------------
Race 4: Speed Camera
--------------------
Tier 2
City: Florence
Track: Speed Camera Track 2
Laps: N/A
Weather: Rain
Advice: You start this race on the street that starts to turn left at the end
and then at the very end, turns right, onto a straightaway. On that
straightaway is the speed camera. You have to figure out the best way through
the left turn to be going as fast as possible on the straightaway after it. The
best way that I have found is to brake on the turn early, so you can go
straight through the rest of it.

-------------------
Race 5: Street Race
-------------------
Tier 2
City: Florence
Track: Ponte Vecchio
Laps: 4
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This race is on the same track as was a street race in the Roadsters
Series. There are some turns very close to the starting line, which means that
it is very hard to get into first place early on, since the other cars get in
your way and you wont have the speed to pass them. You can pass most of them in
the first two turns, which should get you into about third place. Getting into
first or second place will take much longer. It probably wont be until you've
done most of the first lap when you'll get close enough to pass the other cars.
All of the cars that you pass in this race wont stray too far behind you, so
you can't afford to make any mistakes.

---------------
Race 6: Hot Lap
---------------
Tier 3
City: Edinburgh
Track: Grassmarket East
Laps: 1
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: It will be very difficult to beat this race on hard. You don't have
very much time to beat it, only a few seconds more than on expert, so you have
to master this track to be able to beat it.

---------------
Race 7: Hot Lap
---------------
Tier 3
City: Edinburgh
Track: Terrace Sprint
Laps: 1
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: It's just as hard to beat this race on hard as it was on the last race.
You will also have to master this track to beat it on hard, and if you can do
that, it isn't much harder to beat it on expert.

-------------------
Race 8: Street Race
-------------------
Tier 3
City: Edinburgh
Track: Princess Street East
Laps: 3
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This is probably the hardest street race yet, it can even be hard on
medium difficulty. This race starts out on Edinburgh's very long straightaway,
which has a sharp right turn at the end of it. No matter what you do, you
probably wont be able to pass any cars on the straightaway. On the turn at the
end of the straightaway, you also might not be able to pass any cars. Just take
the turn like there aren't any other cars on it. If you try to force your way
past the cars on this turn, it might actually slow you down more than if you
didn't pass them. On the straightaway after the turn, you might not be able to
pass any cars as well, but you also might have enough speed to do so. At the
end of this straightaway is a sharp left turn. Try not to hit any of the other
cars here, if you do, it is easy for you to spin and hit a wall. Now you will
be close enough to some of the other cars to pass them. Pass them as you go by
some gentle turns and then as you take a sharp right turn. There is another
right turn at the end of that street. Now you will probably be close to the
first few cars. To pass them, you will have to race very well and not make any
mistakes. It might take awhile for you to be able to pass them to, maybe even
not on this lap.

------------------
Race 9: One on One
------------------
Tier 4
City: Edinburgh
Track: Princess Street Loop
Laps: 2
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This race is MUCH easier than the last one, even on expert. This race
starts on that same long straightaway and there is a left turn at the end of
it. You might be able to pass the other car on this turn, you might not. That
turn puts you onto another long straightaway. At the end, there is a sharp left
turn. By now you should be able to pass the other car.

----------------
Race 10: Hot Lap
----------------
Tier 5
City: Sydney
Track: Cumberland Street
Laps: 1
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: This is another hot lap where winning on hard is just about as hard as
winning on expert. In fact, the time limit for expert is only one second less
than the time limit for hard. The most important thing to do to beat this race
on hard or expert is to perfect getting through the two sharp turns on this
track with as much speed as possible. The first of those turns is the first
turn other than gentle turns on the track, and the second one is the second to
last turn on the track.

-----------------
Race 11: Overtake
-----------------
Tier 5
City: Sydney
Track: Downtown Short
Laps: N/A
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: This race isn't that hard to beat on hard, but much harder on expert.
You get less time to beat it on expert, and the seventh car isn't close to the
other ones. The track itself is like a short version of the one from the last
race, so you should be somewhat familiar with it.

--------------------
Race 12: Street Race
--------------------
Tier 6
City: Sydney
Track: George St. Challenge
Laps: 2
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: This is another street race in this series that is very hard. You have
to pass as many of the cars as you can in this race as soon as possible, if you
don't, the cars in front can get too far ahead of you. You can start passing
them on the first turn and then on the straightaway that follows it. You can
also pass more of the other cars on the next turn and the street after it. At
the point, you still probably wont be able to pass the first few cars. It will
take a lot longer and some good driving to catch up to them.

--------------------
Race 13: Street Race
--------------------
Tier 6
City: Sydney
Track: Sydney Harbour
Laps: 2
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: Like the last race, this one is also pretty hard. You can pass some of
the other cars in the first few turns, and then you will have to drive without
screwing up to catch up to the rest of them.

--------------------
Race 14: Street Race
--------------------
Tier 6
City: Sydney
Track: The Rocks Route
Laps: 2
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: You can tell from the track map that this track wont be the easiest. It
does have a lot of turns, but those can help you. The other cars in this race
will be slowed down by all of those turns, so that gives you an advantage if
you are able to get through those turns without slowing down too much. You can
start passing the other cars on the street after the first turn and then pass
almost all of the others on the next couple of streets. Getting into first
place is harder, and you might not be able to catch up to the car in first
until you have done most of the first lap.


**************************************
2.11 - Grand Touring Series
**************************************
Cities: Yokohama, Hong Kong, Moscow, Stockholm, Barcelona, Washington D.C.
Tiers: 6
Races: 16 (1x Timed Run, 3x Overtake, 5x Street Race, 3x One on One, 1x Cone
           Challenge, 2x Hot Lap, 1x Speed Camera)

This series is actually a little bit easier than the last one. It's much easier
to beat the hot laps and timed runs in this series, and it is much easier to
get into first place on the street races here.

-----------------
Race 1: Timed Run
-----------------
Tier 1
City: Yokohama
Track: Honcho dori
Laps: 2
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This timed run isn't nearly as hard as the ones from the last series
were, but that doesn't mean that you have plenty of time to complete this one.
You can't afford to slow down at all by screwing up on turns if you want to
beat it on hard. The track itself is probably the easiest in the game, all it
consists of is four straightaways connected by four right turns.

----------------
Race 2: Overtake
----------------
Tier 1
City: Yokohama
Track: Kishamichi
Laps: N/A
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This race isn't very difficult, there are lots of long straightaways
for you to build up speed on to pass the other cars and you don't have less
time to beat the race on expert than on hard.

-------------------
Race 3: Street Race
-------------------
Tier 1
City: Yokohama
Track: Yokohama Challenge
Laps: 3
Weather: Sunny
Advice: Thankfully, this race isn't nearly as hard as the street races in the
last series were. You can get into first or second place after the first few
turns. The lead computer-controlled car will always be close behind you if you
are in first, so you will have to block him to stop him from passing you.

------------------
Race 4: One on One
------------------
Tier 2
City: Hong Kong
Track: The Convention Centres
Laps: 2
Weather: Rain
Advice: This race is really easy. You can pass your opponent right away to get
into first and the track this race takes place on is only a few straightaways
with some turns connecting them. By the time you get to the end of the
straightaway that you start on, you should be close to the other car or should
have passed it already.

----------------------
Race 5: Cone Challenge
----------------------
Tier 2
City: Hong Kong
Track: Hennessey Road
Laps: 2
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: This is probably the hardest cone challenge in the entire Kudos World
Series. Most of the cone gates are far apart, and there are lots of very narrow
streets. On a few of those narrow streets, there area even some cone gates that
are barely wider than your car. A lot of the turns on this tracks don't have
any gates in or near them, so you will have to slide through them, many of
which are narrow. It requires a lot of skill and patience to beat this race on
expert or even hard.

-------------------
Race 6: Street Race
-------------------
Tier 2
City: Hong Kong
Track: Harbour Run
Laps: 5
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This race is a lot easier than the street races in the last series
were. As usual, you start on a straightaway. You can pass most of the other
cars before you get to the end of the straightaway, where there is a left turn.
On that turn, you can easily get up to second place. Now you will be in the
divided tunnel. At the end of it, there is a left turn and then a straightaway.
This is probably the only chance you will have to pass the car in first place.
If you don't, it might get too far ahead of you.

----------------
Race 7: Overtake
----------------
Tier 3
City: Moscow
Track: KGB Corner
Laps: N/A
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: . The track that this race takes place on has a lot of the usual wide
roads in Moscow. Since there are so many wide roads on this track and the turns
aren't very sharp, it isn't all that difficult to beat. You even get a little
bit more time to beat it on expert than on most of the other difficulties.

---------------
Race 8: Hot Lap
---------------
Tier 3
City: Moscow
Track: Red Square 1
Laps: 1
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: The track this race takes place on is long and obviously a bit complex,
but it isn't as hard to beat on hard as you might think. You don't have to race
perfectly to beat it on hard like you did in hot laps and timed runs in the
last series, but you still can't afford to make huge mistakes.

-------------------
Race 9: Street Race
-------------------
Tier 3
City: Moscow
Track: Kremlin 2
Laps: 2
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: It's very easy to get into first place at the beginning of this race,
even on expert. You can get in front of some of them on the first turn, and
then pass the rest of them on the second one, which is a sharp turn that they
don't take very well. After that, all you have to do is not let any other cars
pass you for the rest of the race.

-------------------
Race 10: One on One
-------------------
Tier 4
City: Stockholm
Track: Speed Freak
Laps: 1
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: Even though the name of the track this race takes place on is Speed
Freak, there are too many turns in it for you to go very fast. The race itself
isn't very difficult, you can pass the car that you're racing against on either
the first or the second turn.

-----------------
Race 11: Overtake
-----------------
Tier 5
City: Barcelona
Track: Place de Jaume
Laps: N/A
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This race isn't very hard, the track doesn't have too many turns and
you don't get much less time to complete it as you raise the difficulty. All
the track consists of is four main roads connected by turns.

----------------
Race 12: Hot Lap
----------------
Tier 5
City: Barcelona
Track: Catalan Challenge
Laps: 1
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This hot lap is a little bit harder than the last one, but still easier
than the ones in the last series. You wont be able to afford to make any small
mistakes, though.

-------------------
Race 13: One on One
-------------------
Tier 5
City: Barcelona
Track: Catedral
Laps: 5
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: The track this race takes place on is very short. It starts with a very
long right turn. On hard and lower difficulties, you can easily pass the other
car here. You might even be able to do it on expert, too. Just after that turn,
there is the four turns in pairs. This time the first pair is a left then right
and the second pair is a right then left. Cut through these turns. If you
didn't pass the other car in that turn, it is easy to pass it here. If you have
to, you can even bump into that other car to even give yourself a little
advantage.

---------------------
Race 14: Speed Camera
---------------------
Tier 6
City: Washington D.C.
Track: Speed Camera Track 1
Laps: N/A
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: The turns on this track are right at the beginning. The first turn is
a right turn (Which you wont be going fast enough to have to slow down for)
and there is a left turn that you do need to slow down for right after it. That
turn takes you onto a street that turns to the left and then has a gentle right
turn onto a straightaway at the end of it. As you could guess, the speed camera
is on that straightaway. In order to get a good speed, you have to perfect
taking the second turn with as much speed as possible.

--------------------
Race 15: Street Race
--------------------
Tier 6
City: Washington D.C.
Track: Capitol Thrill 2
Laps: 2
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: You race this race on the same track that the last street race in
Washington D.C. was on (Back in the American Muscle Series). If you can't
remember, that was the race that had a few gentle turns followed by a sharper
right at the beginning, and the hardest part of the race was getting through
those without the other cars blocking you. That's also the hardest part of this
race. If you can avoid the other cars in those turns, you can get near the
front of the pack on the first big turn. After that, you can get into first on
one of the next turns.

--------------------
Race 16: Street Race
--------------------
Tier 6
City: Washington D.C.
Track: The Tour
Laps: 3
Weather: Sunny
Advice: There are a lot of turns on the track that this race is on, and a lot
of them are very sharp turns. Because of that, it is easy to screw up and lose
the race. As usual, you can pass all of the cars that you are racing against on
the first few turns on the track.


**************************************
2.12 - Track Specials Series
**************************************
Cities: Nurburgring, Stockholm, Florence, Moscow
Tiers: 7
Races: 17 (5x Hot Lap, 4x Street Race, 3x One on One, 2x Overtake, 2x Timed
           Run, 1x Speed Camera)

You get to race on the Nurburgring track for the first time in this series.
Instead of racing on the whole track, you will race on segments of it. These
segments can only be raced on in this series, and not in time trial or
multiplayer. For the entire series, you will probably want to use the Noble M12
GTO3, because of its high acceleration. If you use it, this series actually
isn't all that hard.

---------------
Race 1: Hot Lap
---------------
Tier 1
City: Nurburgring
Track: Nordschleife 2
Laps: 1
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This is the first race that you will do on a part of the Nurburgring
track. The hardest part of this particular race is deciding if you should or
shouldn't brake on some of the turns. You will build up a lot of speed on this
track, but a lot of the turns can be taken without slowing down at all. If you
can remember which turns you slow down for and which you don't, this race isn't
that hard to beat.

This race starts out on a very long straightaway. Eventually, you start to go
down a hill and the road starts to make a left turn. Don't slow down for this
one. Once you are at the bottom of the hill, you will start to go up again.
There are two turns at the top that you don't have to slow down for. Not too
far after that, there is a gentle left turn and then a right turn. You will
have to slow down for that right turn. There is a left turn shortly after that
which you do not need to slow down for, since you wont be going very fast.
Right after that, there is a right turn that you have to slow down for. It's
easy to miss this turn, since part of the road that is blocked off continues
forward and it looks like that is the direction the tracks goes in.

The road will start to go downhill again and there will be a left turn on the
hill. You have to slow down for this one. As you are going down hill, there are
two right turns. You don't have to slow down for either of them. There will be
two left turns coming up and then a right turn just after the second left. You
only have to slow down for the right turn. Not too far after that, the road
makes a right turn, a left turn and then another right. You only need to slow
down for the third turn, and you don't have to slow down very much. There are
two more turns after that one. The first one is a right, which you have to slow
down for, and the second is a left, which you don't have to slow down for.
After those turns, there is a straightaway. The finish line is on this
straightaway.

-------------------
Race 2: Street Race
-------------------
Tier 1
City: Nurburgring
Track: Nordschleife 3
Laps: N/A
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This race takes place on almost the same segment of the Nurburgring
track as the last race. You start in the area at the end of the straightaway at
the beginning of the last race, where you guy down a hill and then up one. This
track ends a little ways past where the last one did. At the end of the
straightaway that the last race ended on, there are two right turns that you
don't have to slow down for. Past those, there are two left turns that you
don't have to slow down for. On hard and lower difficulties, you can pass all
of the other cars on the straightaway that you start on. On expert, you will
have to have the car in the class with the best acceleration (The Noble M12
GTO3) to be able to get in front of the car in first.

---------------
Race 3: Hot Lap
---------------
Tier 1
City: Nurburgring
Track: Nordschleife 4
Laps: 1
Weather: Sunny
Advice: You get a lot of time in hard to beat this race. I was able to beat it
on hard after crashing and ending up in the dirt for awhile. Of course, you
will have to do much better than that to beat it on expert. The track segment
this race is on is on a completely different part of the track than the last
two (Actually, I think it might start near where the last two ended, but I
can't be sure). When you start this race, there will be two right turns on the
track not too far apart in front of you. You don't have to slow down for either
of them. After those right turns, there are two left turns. You also don't have
to slow down for these. A straightaway with a left turn at the end comes after
those. You don't have to slow down for that left turn, but you do have to slow
down for the long right turn that comes after it.

A lot of turns come after that one, but you don't have to slow down for them
until you start going uphill. There is a left turn on the top of the hill that
you have to slow down a little bit to make. A right turn that you don't have to
slow down for comes after that and there is a left turn that you do have to
slow down for right after that one. There is a right turn right after that one
and then the road is straight for the short distance to the finish line.

---------------
Race 4: Hot Lap
---------------
Tier 1
City: Nurburgring
Track: Nordschleife 5
Laps: 1
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This track starts by the first turn on the last track that you had to
slow down for. You reach the spot where the last track ended when you get to
the only checkpoint on this track. There are a few turns after that that you
don't have to slow down for, and then one you do. You can tell which one you
have to slow down for because it is the one right after all the markings on the
ground (Whatever they are supposed to be). Right after that turn, there is a
right turn that you don't have to slow down for. The next turn you come to is
a right turn, and you do have to slow down for it. After that there will be a
left turn that you don't have to slow down for and then a series of right turns
that you don't have to slow down for. The first left turn after all of those is
one that you will have to slow down for. The finish line comes right after that
turn.

------------------
Race 5: One on One
------------------
Tier 2
City: Nurburgring
Track: Nordschleife 6
Laps: N/A
Weather: Sunny
Advice: The track that this race is on starts by where the checkpoint on the
last one was and it continues past where the finish line was on that track. On
this one, there is a checkpoint by where the finish line on the last track was.
Since the area where the race starts doesn't have any turns that you have to
slow down for for awhile, you can catch up to the other car here. If you can't
pass it, you can on the first turn that you have to slow down for (A left).
After you pass by the checkpoint and the end of the last track, there is a
straightaway with a right turn in it that you don't have to slow down for. At
the end of this straightaway, there is a left turn that you do have to slow
down for. Right after that turn, there will be a left turn and then a right
turn. You don't have to slow down for either one. Another straightaway comes
after that, although it has a small left turn in it that you don't have to slow
down for, so it isn't really a straightaway. At the end of it (You can tell
when you are at the end by looking at the track map, there are also blue signs
on the side of the road that are only at the end of this road) there is a right
turn that you have to slow down for. After that, there are only a few turns
that you don't have to slow down for between here and the end.

-------------------
Race 6: Street Race
-------------------
Tier 3
City: Stockholm
Track: Gamla Island Hopping
Laps: 3
Weather: Sunny
Advice: As usual for a race in Stockholm, you start on the long street that
makes a few gentle right turns. You should be able to pass all of the other
cars, except the first place car if you are playing on expert, on this street.
When you get to the end of it, there is a very sharp turn. You can use this
turn to get in front of any other cars in front of you, but that requires you
to take the turn perfectly, which isn't easy to do.

----------------
Race 7: Overtake
----------------
Tier 3
City: Stockholm
Track: Gamla Oval
Laps: N/A
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This race isn't too hard, the cars that you have to pass aren't all
that far apart and you have the same amount of time to beat it on expert as you
do on every difficulty except novice. Plus, there aren't that many turns in
this track, although it is easy to go too fast for the ones that are.

-----------------
Race 8: Timed Run
-----------------
Tier 3
City: Stockholm
Track: Bridges
Laps: 2
Weather: Sunny
Advice: Beating this race on hard isn't very difficult. You actually get a lot
of time to do it, enough to still win even after making a small mistake or two.

---------------
Race 9: Hot Lap
---------------
Tier 3
City: Stockholm
Track: Island Hop
Laps: 1
Weather: Rain
Advice: You get a lot of time to beat this race on hard, enough to still beat
it after making a few small mistakes. At first it might look like this track
follows the same path as the one in the last race, but there are actually a lot
of differences.

-------------------
Race 10: One on One
-------------------
Tier 4
City: Stockholm
Track: Northern
Laps: 1
Weather: Rain
Advice: This race is very short and very easy. You can get into first place,
even on expert, right on the first stretch of road. That first stretch of road
isn't long, either. After that, you just have to stay in front of it for the
whole lap, which is the entire race.

-----------------
Race 11: Overtake
-----------------
Tier 5
City: Florence
Track: Piazza della Signoria 2
Laps: N/A
Weather: Sunny
Advice: You get a full minute less on expert to beat the race than on hard, but
that minute isn't very important. You have so much time on hard, you could slam
head first into a wall a couple of times and still beat the race. Expert is
harder, and you wont be able to beat it if you crash much.

Race 12: Timed Run
------------------
Tier 5
City: Florence
Track: Piazza della Signoria 1
Laps: 2
Weather: Clear (Night)
Advice: There's really nothing special about this race. On hard, you get enough
time to beat it without trying to hard and you can even make a few small
mistakes and beat it on hard. And of course, beating it on expert will be much
more difficult.

Race 13: Hot Lap
----------------
Tier 5
City: Florence
Track: Duomo 2
Laps: 1
Weather: Sunny
Advice: This hot lap is on the difficult side. It might take a few tried to
beat it on hard. In order to beat it on hard, you wont be able to make any
mistakes. The easiest place to make some mistakes is on the two gentle left
turns at the beginning. You will have to slow down for them since the car you
will be in is fast, but you can't slow down too much for them. You have to find
the right balance of speed for them if you wish to do good in this race.
