Races – Specific brands - part 2  (29/73)

Lotus Day

Level: Pro

Prize: 40000 dollars

Manufacturer: Lotus cars only

 

 

I’d strongly recommend purchasing Lotus Sport Exige 240R for this challenge, however you will be able to use this vehicle during several other races. The vehicle costs only 82000 dollars, however you should also spend 90000 to acquire some of the best upgrades. I’d strongly recommend doing this right away, so you won’t have any problems with the car. This race is going to be quite long. The finish line is located about 20 kilometres from the start. You will have to deal with a very tight corner here (#1). Once again, remember about heavy traffic. Avoiding civilian cars is going to be very important. Additionally, watch out for high speed bends, however Lotus models will provide a lot of grip. Nevertheless, you must be very careful. You will be encountering smaller jumps from time to time (#2). Most of them should be visible from a larger distance. Just make sure that you don’t end up outside the road. You will also have to watch out for tight corners and hairpins. You will have to turn left at some point of the race (#3). You will also have to be careful in the urban areas (#4). There are some challenging corners waiting for you here.

 

 

Lotus Trophy

Level: Expert

Prize: 40000 dollars

Manufacturer: Lotus cars only

Time limit: 2 minutes 30 seconds

 

 

You might have some problems winning this challenge. The most important thing here will be to stay on an asphalt road. You won’t be allowed to make too many mistakes, especially since there’s a damage bar on your screen. You will have to complete free full laps of the track. I would recommend choosing a Lotus Sport Exige 240R for this particular challenge. You should be able to encounter your first tight corner very soon (#1). Sadly, you won’t be allowed to cut through it. Otherwise you would have lost a lot of technique points. Thankfully, the second corner is going to be quite simple. Slow down once you’ve reached a longer bend (#2). You will come across a large hill area (#3). This is the most difficult section of the lap. Make sure that you don’t hit the opposite wall. I’d strongly recommend slowing down here. The final part of the lap will require you to go back to the freeway section (#4). You shouldn’t have any problems here.

 

 

Aston Martin Day

Level: Expert

Prize: 40000 dollars

Manufacturer: Aston Martin cars only

 

 

First of all, you won’t have to buy Aston Martin Vanquish in order to participate in this challenge. If you have a DB9 or V8 Vantage at your possession, they will be just fine, especially if you had upgraded these vehicles to third level. This race is going to be very short, so if you make some major mistakes, you will have an opportunity to restart this entire challenge without having to lose too much time. Start off by taking an early lead. You will have to deal with a lot of mild curves (#1). This should allow you to extend your lead. Like I’ve said before, you shouldn’t have any major problems with this challenge. You will only have to watch out for faster corners and larger hill areas (#2). You will also have to make a sudden right turn at some point of the race, so make sure that you have used the brakes there. The final part of the race is very simple, especially since you’ll be allowed to cut through most of the corners.

 

 

Dodge Day

Level: Expert

Prize: 40000 dollars

Manufacturer: Dodge cars only

Time limit: 2 minutes

 

 

You will have to buy a Dodge Viper SRT10 in order to be able to participate in this time trial challenge. The vehicle will cost you only 85000 dollars, however you should also spend 125000 dollars on performance upgrades, especially since you’ll earn a lot by improving this car. This task is going to be quite simple. Start off by heading to the freeway (#1). You won’t be allowed to slow down here, however you will have to avoid hitting into civilian cars. Remember about the damage bar. Thankfully, you will be allowed to hit concrete walls, however obviously they will slow you down a little. Try speeding up once you’ve reached a large tunnel (#2). You shouldn’t have any major problems winning the entire race.

 

 

Ford time attack

Level: Expert

Prize: 40000 dollars

Manufacturer: Ford cars only

Time limit: 3 minutes 30 seconds

 

 

I guess it’s fairly obvious that you’re going to have to buy a Ford GT in order to complete all challenges from this racing group (Ford races). Sadly, you will have to spend 177000 dollars on the car. Furthermore, upgrading it to a highest possible level will cost you 160000 dollars. Thankfully, you will be able to use this vehicle while participating in other types of challenges. This time trial race is going to be quite simple. You will have an opportunity to cut through the corners and there are a lot of straight roads ahead. You will also have to watch out for heavy traffic. You will come across a very tight right turn at about half way through (#1). Additionally, you will have to head on to the left lane near the end (#2). This of course means that you’ll be driving the wrong way, so watch out for other cars.

comments and responses

Don't forget the Mustang GT-R concept one gets for completing the model-missions is also a Ford and it's a lot easier to drive than the GT in the time attack mission.
