Concentrate on your shifts, grab the win, and claim 6th place in the rankings. 1125/1500/1875 Tips: As there's no traffic, you could use some nasty tactics to win this race. Get up to a good speed ahead of everyone else, then keep an eye behind your back (use the Back View button) and prevent them from overtaking you. No worries about crashing into cars with your head turned. (Far Camera mode only) Alternatively you can race in Bumper Cam mode and turn on the Rear View Mirror option in the Display Menu (under Options). The key to winning this race is that none of your opponents should be ahead of you once you get the head start, else it'll be very difficult to catch up to them. Getting upgrades that increases acceleration should help, although it could backfire due to the perfect AI logic incorporated. If upgrading doesn't work, the downgrade trick from Challenge 86 might be applicable here too. Style Reward: "Congratulations!
