Pro Tuned – Kenwood Global Series
Number of races: 5
Tracks: San Francisco – Grand Prix Circuit; Washington – Park Circuit; Jarama – Grand Prix Circuit; Shibuya – Street Circuit; Okutama – Sprint Circuit B
Best car: You will have to make an important decision when it comes to choosing a car for this event. You can choose a car which is easier to drive or you can choose a vehicle which will allow you to overtake your rivals much faster. The easiest vehicle to handle is a Ford Mustang GT-R Concept. If you’re all about the performance, consider using a Nissan Skyline GT-R Z-Tune instead, however take under consideration that it’s going to be harder to cut through some of the corners in this vehicle and you’ll have to prevent it from sliding too much.
Hints: This is one of the easier tournaments of the global group, mostly because all the vehicles are easy to drive, so you won’t have to focus all your attention on trying to maintain a good racing line. Only a few vehicles (for instance – a Viper) are trickier to handle, however you should have learned to avoid them by now. As for the tracks, you will in fact be racing around the world and you should know that only a few events are going to be more difficult. In most cases, you’ll be able to win as long as you don’t make any major mistakes.
The first track of the tournament is the San Francisco GP circuit. You’ve raced here many times before, so you won’t be surprised by any new elements. Nevertheless, you should stay focused throughout the entire race, especially while performing small jumps (screen). Other drivers will push hard here, so you won’t be allowed to slow down.
The Washington circuit will require you to plan each move very carfully, especially in the open section. Thankfully, you’ll be dealing with a shorter version of the circuit. Don’t forget to turn left at some point of the race, instead of moving forward as usual.
You’ve probably never been to the Jarama circuit in a muscle-bar before, however it’s not a problem, because you won’t have to change your driving style. This means you’ll only have to watch out for two hairpins, because it’s easy to make a mistake there. As for other corners, try cutting through some of them to gain time over your opponents.
The fourth track of the tournament is also going to be an easy one. Use the fact that AI controlled players tend to slow down a lot. Watch out while going through some of the faster corners, however it’s nothing you should be worried about, as long as you keep drifting a little.
The final track of the tournament is one of the shorter variations of Okutama circuit. As you’ve probably suspected, you will have to be very careful here. Thankfully, due to lower performance of these vehicles it’s going to be much easier to stay on the track. As for your rivals, try overtaking them somewhere in the middle of the track (screen). Avoid hitting them at the same time. There’s a high probability of losing control over your vehicle and you would lose too much time trying to get back on the road.
Prestige – Head 2 Head
Important! Participating in this duel is possible only when you’ve won all three tournaments from this group!
Hints: This is going to be the final duel in the career mode. As a result, you shouldn’t be surprised to see that the game will make your run as hard as ipossible. First of all, you will have to play on the highest Extreme difficulty level. You won’t be allowed to lower the difficulty level on your own. This means your opponent is going to be more skilled at what he’s doing and you won’t be allowed to use flashbacks. You will be given only one flashback for this race, so you’ll have to preserve it, instead of using it to correct smaller mistakes.
The final duel is going to take place in Le Mans, however you’ll be dealing with a shorter version of this circuit. Nevertheless, your objective will be to complete three full laps which is going to take you about eight minutes. Also, you’ll be forced to sit behind the well of a Koenigsegg. As you probably remember, it’s a very unstable car, so you will have to be extra careful, especially while going through slower turns. Prevent the vehicle from sliding, because it’s only a step away from spinning it and you losing the entire event. You won’t be allowed to leave the asphalt road or even cut through the corners. Your only chance of winning this event is to drive flawlessly and to defend yourself against attacks of your rival.
Let’s sit down and see exactly what this track has to offer, shall we? Once you’ve started, you’ll probably notice that your rival has taken the lead. It’s crucial to your success that you take the first place away from him once you’ve reached the first chicane (screen). You could try cutting through the gravel trap, however you would probably lose control over your vehicle. The same goes with two other laps when you’ll have to be even more careful here.
You will have to deal with a few simple corners. Once this is done, you’ll end up on the main straight section of the track (screen). It’s very important that you maintain a maximum speed of your vehicle (364 km/h) throughout this entire part of the lap. You won’t be allowed to make any sudden turns and you can’t find yourself on the red section of the track, because your rival would immediately catch up to you and took the lead. You’ll finally reach a very tight corner. Use the brakes early, so you won’t end up dangerously close to the gravel trap.
Start accelerating once again, however this time you’ll reach a new set of corners earlier than before. Cut through the first mild curve at full speed, however use the brakes before approaching the second one (screen). Try staying on the main track, so you won’t have to worry about your car making any sudden moves. The final third corner is quite easy to pass through, as long as you maintain an ideal racing line.
The final part of the circuit will require you to deal with five mild corners (screen). I would recommend using the brakes only twice – before the first and fourth corner. As for the remaining three, you should be able to pass through them without any problems. There are also two chicanes in front of the finish line. Be careful here, because you can’t hit any of the tire walls.
As for the remaining two laps, it’s crucial that you don’t make any mistakes. If you maintain good pace throughout the entire race, you won’t have to worry about your opponent attacking you constantly. I would recommend that you spare your flashback for the last lap, because that’s where you’ll probably make some kind of a mistake. Good luck! :)
