Knock Out Race Location: Inner City Reverse Approx. Distance: 5.8 miles Reward: Easy 225, Medium 300, Hard 375 Unlocks: 2004 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V
Another course you've already seen. If you have trouble controlling your car to run a tight race, remember that you can remove speed upgrades to increase your car's relative handling ability, allowing you finer maneuvering control.
Drift Race Location: Drift Track 3 Approx. Distance: n/a Reward: Easy 200, Medium 250, Hard 300 Unlocks: Drift Track 3
Drift courses begin to get interesting with Drift Track 3; you'll face several 180-degree turns and curves, along with a couple of 90-degree jobs. Use the 90-degree turns sparingly, and take advantage of the 180s to gather up some monster drifts. Win this challenge, and grab another magazine cover shot, break into the Drift rankings, and take home the track.
Time Trial Race Location: 9th & Frey Approx. Distance: 4.75 miles Reward: Easy 100, Medium 125, Hard 150 Unlocks: Unique performance upgrade, 9th & Frey Sprint Track
TJ's got another job for you - we advise you to take it and earn yourself another upgrade. Although the course has a new name, you've seen all of it before - just not strung together. TJ's required time for the course is fairly tight; if you removed any performance upgrades on previous tracks to gain a handling advantage, you'll want to stick them back in before this time trial, or you'll be hard-pressed to burn enough rubber to please TJ.
Sprint Race Location: Bedard Bridge Approx. Distance: 4.45 miles Reward: Easy 225, Medium 300, Hard 375 Unlocks: Bedard Bridge Sprint Track
Underground continues its blitz of new tracks with Bedard Bridge, but as usual, you've seen the majority of the track before. This track packs a lot of tight corners, immobile obstacles, and traffic, so you'd do well to remove your turbo upgrade to gain some extra maneuvering room. Emerge victorious, and you'll find yourself on the front of Sport Compact Car magazine, and up a spot in the Sprint rankings.
Drift Race Location: Drift Track 4 Approx. Distance: n/a Reward: Easy 225, Medium 300, Hard 375 Unlocks: Level 2 Muffler Tips, Drift Track 4
Drift Track 4 is essentially a copy of Drift Track 3, with a bit more easy' curves for building up speed. Concentrate on upshifting and gaining some speed before the 180-degree turns, then Powerslide around and you'll advance quickly.
Drag Race Location: 14th & Vine Construction Reverse Approx. Distance: n/a Reward: Easy 225, Medium 300, Hard 375 Unlocks: Level 2 Window Tint
A typical Drag - use the same skills you've used in the past, and your success will continue.
Circuit Race Tournament: 2 laps Location: Various Approx. Distance: Various Reward: Easy 3750, Medium 5000, Hard 6250 Unlocks: Level 2 Engine / Exhaust Packages, Level 2 Drivetrain Packages, Level 2 Tire Packages, National Rail Circuit Track
The first race in this tournament takes place on old Olympic Square, which you should know like the back of your hand at this point. Second, you'll encounter a new track - the National Rail Circuit Track - there's a shortcut right after the starting line, but you'll generally want to avoid it. It's filled with heavy (read: momentum-stealing) obstacles, and even when run perfectly doesn't aid you much.
Knock Out Race Location: Atlantica Approx. Distance: 6 miles Reward: Easy 225, Medium 300, Hard 375 Unlocks: Level 2 Roof Scoops
At this point you know Atlantica better than your own neighborhood - this challenge is a piece of cake; just avoid totaling in traffic.
Circuit Race: 3 laps Location: National Rail Approx. Distance: ??? Reward: Easy 225, Medium 300, Hard 375 Unlocks: Nothing
It's back to the railway, for a meeting with Kurt and his Acura RSX.
