Pro Muscle – Ebay Motors Muscle Cup
Number of races: 3
Tracks: San Francisco – Short Circuit B; Washington – Sprint Circuit; Long Beach – Sprint Circuit
Best car: I assume you have at least one vehicle from this group at your disposal, probably a Viper. I wouldn’t recommend using this car, though. Ford Mustang GT-R Concept is a much better choice – it handles very well and you won’t even notice its lower maximum speed.
Hints: You’ve been to the first track many times before, so you should know which corners are the most difficult ones. Like always, you must be extremely careful while cutting through some tight turns, because it’s easy to make a mistake there. Thankfully, your Mustang is fully capable of performing such aggresive measures and you won’t have to worry about losing control over this vehicle.
You’ve also been to the second track, but you might not remember it very well. Nevertheless, you shouldn’t have any problems winning this race, especially since your car is very easy to drive. Try winning a few places after you’ve started (screen). It’s a little risky, but you should be able to avoid any heavier crashes. Now you must focus on closing the gap to the leaders of the race. Watch out for faster corners, because you won’t be allowed to make any mistakes there. Otherwise you’ll end up outside the track. Cut through the corners whenever it becomes possible and secure your lead at the end by moving flawlessly towards the finish line.
The third track of the tournament is an easy one. Ignore the fact that you must complete eight full laps, because a single lap can be done in about 30 seconds. The only real challenge here are two tight turns. The first turn is located near the start and you’ll reach the second one in about 10-15 seconds. You should notice that you’ll be allowed to cut through this corner (screen). Winning the race should be a formality, as long as you stay away from the barriers and tire walls.
GT1 – Ferodo S7 Speed Series
Number of races: 3
Tracks: Long Beach – Street Circuit; Detroit – Grand Prix Circuit; Washington – Grand Prix Circuit
Best car: There’s a Saleen in the title, so you shouldn’t be surprised by the fact that it’s the only available car. It’s quite expensive to purchase, however you’ll be able to use it many times later on during the course of the game. As a result, you should consider buying it as soon as you’ve gathered enough money.
Hints: The first track of the championship was visited by your team many times before, so you should remember how it all goes. Just as before, you should consider cutting through the first corner in order to gain a few places. Wait for other opportunities to overtake AI drivers. Watch out only while going through faster corners, however Saleen is an easy car to drive, so you don’t have to worry about any unexpected slides.
The second track is the most difficult one, mostly because you didn’t have a chance to familiarize yourself with it and you won’t be allowed to make any mistakes. Be careful after the start, because the road is very narrow. Avoid tire walls at all costs. The middle section of the track consists mostly of a few tight turns. Thankfully, the final section is much easier. There are some slow corners here, but you may use them to overtake the rest of the cars. Watch out only for two chicanes. The second chicane allows you to go at full speed, however you can’t get too close to the barriers.
The final third track is also quite difficult, mostly because it was made to accomodate slower cars. As a result, you’ll have less time to perform correct actions. Be careful after the start, because you’ll have to go through the first set of corners at full speed. Don’t try cutting through them too much, because it’s possible to hit a barrier here. Watch out for longer turns (screen) and use tight turns to get ahead of the rest of the competition. The final section of the lap requires you to go through several corners at a nearly maximum speed in order to secure the overall win.
Open Wheel – Simpson F3 Shield
Number of races: 3
Tracks: Long Beach – Street Circuit; Long Beach – Classic Circuit; Long Beach – Classic Circuit B
Best car: This is a Formula 3 tournament, so you won’t be allowed to choose a vehicle. All drivers are using Dallara Formula 3 cars.
Hints: All three races are taking place in Long Beach, so it would seem that they’re going to be very similiar. Sadly, that’s not the case. Each race will require you to change your approach. You’ll also have to spend a lot of time learning how to drive a Formula 3 car. As you’ve probably noticed, you’ll be dealing with an increased grip, so you’ll have to take some of the tight corners at higher speeds. On the other hand, your car will become unstable while going through very slow turns. You must also take this under consideration. Use these turns in the first race to get ahead of the competition. Additionally, avoid cutting through the corners, because it may result in losing control over your vehicle.
The second track of the championship is going to be quite simple to memorize. Just as before, use tight corners to find yourself ahead of other cars. Watch out while going through tunnel sections. It’s often wise to use your brakes there. You can also consider cutting through one of the corners (screen) in order to gain a second or two. The final section of the lap requires you to be more precise, however you should still be able to hold off your first place.
Sadly, the final third race is even more difficult. Going through the same corners in the opposite direction is going to get troublesome, especially if you’ll start from the back of the grid. Watch out for the first corner, because it’s very easy to bump into someone and it could damage your hevicle. You will also have to be extremely careful near the tunnels, because it’s very narrow there and you’ll have to turn the car even when you’re still inside the tunnel. The middle section consists of a large number of fast corners, however there’s a tight turn at the end of this sequence. Pass through it carefully in order to avoid the tires. Watch out near the finish and maintain a perfect racing line.
