1.) Introduction
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Hey, my name is Labmaster and this is a guide for one of the
greatest racing games to come to the handheld. While some may
argue, that V Rally has better graphics, or Mario Kart is more
fun, if you want a simple, no nonsense racing game, this is for
you. In this FAQ I will hopefully guide you through the game so
you can unlock ALL 97 cars, the 3 Extra Modes, and all the Tuning
Parts. Sometimes in the guide I may get my left and rights mixed
up, that’s what you get when you try to stay up until 4am
drinking coke to keep awake (it does kind of work, but it also
acts as a laxative [hah! Complicated word!]).
If you want a car guide, go get Emery0083’s or TheWhy’s there’s
not much point in me replicating one here. And if you don’t know
how to get a car, just press CTRL + F and search for it’s name.

4.) General Notes - How to beat the Game
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Firsts, you have to get Gold medals on ALL of the tracks in
Championship Mode in ALL Classes. This includes Licenses. You
will then unlock an Expert Mode, where you will have to do
exactly what you just did, in Expert Mode, i.e. the races are
harder, the Time Limits are smaller. THEN you will unlock the
three Extra Modes: Radio Con(trol), Kart and Wireframe. Now you
have to race all those tracks again, in Quick Race mode. Finally
you have to get the last 6 cars from Drift Combo mode. Then you
SHOULD have all the cars, tuning parts, extra modes and tracks!
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
5.) Driving Tips
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
This game is actually all about driving, if you haven’t realised
yet. Here’s a variety of tips to help you.
Drifting
========
Drifting, also called power sliding or fish tailing is a
technique which involves you ‘sliding’ the car around the
corners. Basically, if you can’t do this, you won’t be able to
beat the game. There are two reasons: One, if you can’t, you
probably won’t get all the licences and two, you need to be able
to drift for the Drift Combo part. Duh!
To drift, you start turning early, and brake into the corner,
then accelerate out. Sometimes, if you’re going fast enough and
it's not to tight a corner you don’t have to brake.
Racing Styles
=============
There’s two racing styles I use: The ‘proper’ style, and the
‘try-to-kill-yourself’ style. The latter only works on circuit
tracks, and only if you have a fast car. I used it in the Quick
Race mode to unlock the Fairlady Z Z32, and basically, you just
forget your brakes and go around like crazy. And it works.
The other style doesn’t really need any explanation.
Cornering
=========
Most of these have been ‘borrowed’ from Emery0083, because he
seems to have summed it up better than I could. There are three
kinds of normal turns, plus two uhh, ‘abnormal turns’. These are:
Blue : These are ‘easy’ corners.
Orange : Mid’s
Red : These are either hairpins, or ‘hards’.
S Bend : These are usually composed of a hairpin and a mid.
Chicane: These are easy, just go through them diagonally.
[Taking Corners (AT)]
Blue corners pose no real threat at all, just blow around them.
Yellow corners are not difficult either. Though when going around one
it would be smart to let off the gas for just a bit.
Orange corners can be difficult. These require a bit more finesse.
Hold the gas and drift your way around the corner, more then likely you will
need to hit the brake some in the middle of the turn to keep
better traction.
Red corners are the hardest. These are mostly hairpin turns.
What you need to do is brake about two car lengths before you get to
the red and white striped borders on the corner. The you need to
start drifting your car alternating between gas and brake.
[Taking Corners (MT)]
Blue corners pose no real threat when driving a MT car either.
Yellow corners are not difficult in MT either. Just follow the same
instructions for AT cars.
Orange corners need a bit more in MT. While still holding the gas
your car will begin to drift its way around the corner. Near the
middle of the corner you will need to hit the brakes some and shift
down one gear. Re-apply the gas and brake as needed to straighten
out and keep traction. When you feel comfortable and are out of the
drifting shift back up when needed.
Dark orange corners are the hardest. You will need to brake around
three car lengths before the corner and drop one gear. Now drift
around the corner holding the gas. In mid-corner again hit the brake
and drop a gear if needed. Straighten out your car and if you can
go up one gear. Continue through the corner and you got it.
Course Types
============
There are four course types, each with it’s own attributes.
Circuit: These are normal, racing circuit tracks, with no walls,
just grass. Actually there are some walls, but not right
up against the track.
Highway: These are composed of mainly ‘hard’ turns and are raced
on surprise, surprise, Highways! In Championship Mode
these races will always be at night.
City : This is a bit like Highway, except there are narrower
roads, etc...
Winding: These are REALLY slow. Mostly hairpins.
Weather
=======
There are three weather conditions in this game.
Fine: This doesn’t affect your car’s performance in anyway.
Cloudy: Apart from the sky (which might put you off a teeny bit)
this shouldn’t affect you either.
Rain: Yay. Rain. Handling is severely reduced, more slippin’ and
Slidin’.
Times of Day
============
Noon: The ‘time-of-no-shadows’ (okay, I used to watch Rugrats
when I was little). Easy to drive.
Evening: The sky’s a bit red, but that’s all.
Night: This is REALLY annoying. I put it down to the lously
programmers not being able to blend in the lights. So
they have to make it flickery. Grrrr.

=================================================================
Hornet
Unlocks : Toyota Corolla Levin AE86 (TUNED)
Record : 1'38"71
Description: The course kicks off with an easy enough left. You
can then stretch out on a long straight before
negotiating middle left. Another straight leads
into a hairpin which you will want to start turning
for quite early but leave the brakes out until you
reach the corner. After a mid right you'll be faced
with another hairpin which is the toughest corner of
the course.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : 1st! Easy!
=================================================================
Local Dog
Unlocks : Filter (Special), Daihatsu MAX GQSZ
Record : 1'53"36
Description: Forward after the line and you'll hit an easy left.
After a short stretch cruise into an easy mid right
and another mid-left. Another mid-right and you'll
be faced with a hairpin that you can just slide
around. After an easy left then a tiny right (you
don't have to turn for it) you'll be faced with
another hairpin that you should brake quite early
for. Mid-right then a succession of mid-lefts will
get you to the finish.
1st lap: 6th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : Another easy win!
=================================================================
Big Core
Unlocks : Toyota MR-S ZZW30
Record : 1'49"11
Description: This course only has 2 parts that may pose you
trouble. An easy left leads into a long straight
then another two easy-lefts with a straight in
between. Start turning by the time the you reach
the red borders and you'll be fine. At the end
of the straight you'll reach a left hairpin.
You'll need to start braking 2-3 car lengths
before the turn then accelerate out. Don't be
afraid to run into that tree. After a mid-right
you'll see an exclamation mark come up but
don't be too afraid. The course will narrow a
bit and you'll have to do a mid-right. The
course will then return to its former width.
Now the other hard part: If you're not careful
with the upcoming hairpin and you go onto the
grass you risk the chance of spinning out. It's
quite easy to do this. Remember: Brake in,
turn, accelerate out.
1st lap: 6th, possibly 5th.
2nd lap: 2nd or 3rd
Finish : Another, rather simple win. Just be
careful on the last couple of corners.
=================================================================
Plastic Bomb
Unlocks : CPU (Special), Mazda MX-5 Milan MPS
Record : 2'11"70
Description: Go forward and you'll face an easy right,
followed by a straight and another easy right.
You'll then face a hard-right then an easy right
which actually isn't that easy because the road
narrows. After an easy left (try not to over-
run) there's a left chicane. There will then
be a hard right followed by a nice long straight.
Start turning for the next hard quite early
and you won't have a problem.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 2nd, or even 1st.
Finish : Easy win!
=================================================================
Night Kids
Unlocks : Nissan Silva S14
Record : 2'15"70
Description: The race starts off with a succession of easy
lefts, which shouldn't pose a problem to you. The
road will then appear to fork, but the right road
is blocked so swing your car to the left. At the
end of the narrow straight is a hairpin which you
will want to brake for. Another long straight
then a right HP followed closely by a left. After
another straight you'll hit an easy right then a
mid-left.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 4th, possible 3rd.
Finish : As long as you're cornering is up to
scratch you'll cross the line first.
=================================================================
Hello World
Unlocks : Muffler (Steel), Subaru IMPREZA WRX STi version
VI GC8
Record : 2'12"16
Description: This track is quite a bit harder than the previous
ones and it took me a while to finish it. I used
the Mitsubishi LANCER GSR Evolution III, you might
have another preference.
Go forward and then you'll be faced with an 'S'
bend. Some are a mid-left/right followed by a
hairpin right/left and others are reversed. You'll
have to keep an eye on your map while racing.
Anyway, take the 'S', braking on the hairpin part.
Accelerate out and there'll be 2 mid rights in a
row. After a straight take the easy right followed
by the easy-left and another straight, where you'll
find a right hairpin. Go forward and the next S
bend will be a left HP followed by a right HP.
Go down the nice long straight then turn early for
the mid-right and cruise over the finish.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : 1st, as long as you don't cut too many
corners :) and corner intelligently.
=================================================================
Doco Moco
Unlocks : Suzuki MR wagon SUZUKI SPORT MF21S
Record : 2'50"53
Description: Another night race on the streets, this track is
made up of right angled turns only (except the
last corner which is a hairpin). The key to this
is your car selection, a nice fast car would be
good (i.e. not a wagon, truck etc...).
You'll start on a nice long straight but don't be
fooled by the width of the highway, it gets
narrower. At the end of this, take a right. Then
there's another long straight followed by a right,
then yet another straight followed by a right.
After this there's... another straight followed by
a right, although this straight is shorter. After
a short straight there'll be ANOTHER right then
two quick lefts. After another slightly longer
straight you'll take a left then hit the hairpin,
which is just two rights stuck together. FINISH!
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 4th, hopefully 3rd
Finish : Win!
=================================================================
Peak Peak
Unlocks : Suspension (Spring), Daihatsu Copen
Record : 2'37"66
Description: The race starts off with a mid right. After an easy
right and an easy left you'll hit to mid rights in
a row. Then there's an easy-left and a straight.
You'll now get a '!'. Brake early and take the
corner with brakes all the way. The ! was there
because the track narrows down substantially.
Now you'll face a series of HP's. Left, right, left
right. Then you'll hit the finish.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : Another win, not too easy but manageable.
=================================================================
Medium Class
=================================================================
Licence Corner 1
Test Car : Sprinter Trueno
Course : Corner
Time Limit : 00'14"90
Notes : This is a 90-degree turn. Refer to the notes on
Licences for tips.
=================================================================
Licence Corner 2
Test Car : MX-5 Miala
Course : Hairpin
Time Limit : 00'15"30
Notes : Hairpin. Refer to the notes on Licences and
corners.
=================================================================
Licence Corner 3
Test Car : CIVIC TypeR
Course : Complex
Time Limit : 00'20"25
Notes : Made up of an easy left then a mid-left. Takes
a bit of practice. Refer to notes on Licences
for tips.
=================================================================
Micro Coat
Unlocks : Honda S2000 AP1
Record : 2'00"16
Description: I'm a little embarrassed to say this but it
took me a while to get this gold. I eventually
found out that I hadn't tuned the car to the
max and after I changed to the Impreza my
top speed had risen 30mph! Always tune!
The track kicks off with a right HP. After an
easy left and a couple of easy rights you'll
face another right hairpin then a left HP. A
couple of mid-rights then an easy left finishes
off the race.
1st lap: 5th, maybe even 4th
2nd lap: 2nd
Finish : Easy first!
=================================================================
Gateway
Unlocks : LSD (Special), Toyota Celica ZZT231
Record : 2'14"13
Description: This track is corners, corners, corners. If you
can corner, you can win.
Straight off the line and you'll hit a mid-right.
It's rather drawn out and doesn't require brakes.
Then an easy left followed by a succession of
mid-rights which form the 'bulb' part of the
track. Then there's a left HP, which doesn't
require brakes either followed by another easy
left and a right HP. Go down the straight and a
mid-right leads into another straight and the
finish line.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd, 2nd if you're really good
Finish : Another easy win.
=================================================================
Runner Way
Unlocks : Toyota Supra JZA70
Record : 4'07"98
Description: Once again, the Impreza excels on this track.
It is basically just 90 deg. turns, but some
are listed as hairpins. These are just two
mid's in a row, and you won't get to straighten
up in between.
Start off with a left hairpin. Don't turn to hard
for the second half. Then, two hard rights in a
row, but with a gap in between. After that
there'll be two hard lefts, followed by a straight
and another left. After an easy right HP then a
left HP you'll be able to let that car rip on a
nice long straight. Then a left HP and a right
HP that you'll want to brake early for. A hard
left takes you to the chequered flag.
1st lap: 4th if you're good
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : 1st!
=================================================================
Sprint Maze
Unlocks : Engine (Light Tune) Honda CIVIC TypeR EP3
Record : 2'00"68
Description: Another street race, the key to this is to
not bump into the walls, which is quite easy.
It starts off with a easy right (actually, I
think it might be two rights). You'll then get
a warning, because the track is about to split.
Position yourself in the second lane from the
left and get ready for the fork. Once it forks
you'll get two mid-rights followed by an easy-
right then an easy left. Next up is a left HP
which you'll want to brake for. After a
straight you'll get two mid-rights followed by
another straight, a right chicane, and yet
another mid-right to the finish.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : 1st, though it may take a couple of
attempts and it'll be pretty tight.
=================================================================
Beat Sweet
Unlocks : Mazda RX-8
Record : 02'23"88
Description: This track is all about braking at the right
time. It starts off with a mid-right into an
easy left. After a short straight you'll want
to start braking for the left HP which leads
into a weird kind of corner. Just cut it.
After that you'll get two mid-rights in a row
which require average braking. Now for a nice
long straight. Drift around the left HP at
the end and brake a tiny bit into the easy
left. Brake again into the mid-right and get
set for another straight. At the end of this
you'll face another mid-right, and if it's
not your final lap, drift through to the
mid-right once you've passed the finish.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : 1st!
=================================================================
Super Pass
Unlocks : Weight (Special) , Nissan SILVA S15
Record : 3'33"13
Description: This is another track that focuses on braking, with
an added twist: rain. Actually, it’s not as hard as
it looks: I managed to get to first by the end of
the second lap. It starts off with a straight then a
mid-left. After a short straight you'll get and S
bend (mid left to right HP) then a couple of mid-
lefts. After along straight rush madly around the
two mid-lefts and ignore that warning sign. Yes,
I'm being serious. Now for a series of hairpins.
They go right, left, right, left. The basic strategy
for these is to slide around them, braking quite
early and judging your turn and acceleration times
well. To some it comes naturally, to most it
requires a fair amount of practice.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd, 2nd, even 1st
Finish : Judge the corners well and get an
easy win.
=================================================================
Great Reef
Unlocks : Honda INTEGRA TypeR DC5
Record : 2'23"93
Description: Not another Highway race. This is another track
that relies on good braking, but don't they all?
All corners are either hard's or hairpins.
Forward off the line and it's left. Now you'll get
a warning. Here you'll have to pull off a hairpin
turn, in driving school they'd call it a 'U-turn'
because you're just doubling back on the same road.
Start turning early and brake heavily. Don't hit
the traffic island. After a straight and a right
there'll be another nice long straight then a right
into another straight. Be careful with that right,
make sure you turn into the right (left) side of the
road. The next hard right you'll have a bit of lee-
way on the pavement but try to stay off. Then
another right that requires substantial braking
(don't get jammed up next to the yellow border).
After yet another straight it's a hard left into the
finish.
1st lap: 6th, 5th if you're good
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : Comfortable first.
=================================================================
Dump Line
Unlocks : Suspension (Sports), Nissan STAGEA NM35
Record : 3'21"60
Description: This is quite an annoying track to finish off
medium class, purely because it's night. Those
lights can really put you off... Also, the road is
quite narrow.
The race starts off with an easy left into a mid-
right. Then there's an easy right, followed by a
mid right, then a left HP. Brake for all of these.
Out of the hairpin into an easy left, then two
mid rights in a row. After that there's another
left HP followed by an easy right. Time your hard
right nicely then it's easy right, easy left. Then
there's an S bend followed by a short straight,
hard right, and another S bend in to the finish.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : Win! You've completed Medium Class!
=================================================================
Highspeed Class
=================================================================
Licence Corner 1
Test Car : FTO
Course : S Curve
Time Limit : 00'13"55
Notes : Extremely simple. Basically a mid right followed
by a mid left. GOLD it easily.
=================================================================
Licence Corner 2
Test Car : MR-S
Course : S Curve 2
Time Limit : 00'20"11
Notes : I found that the best approach is to forget your
brakes and whiz round the corners with your foot on
the gas. Time the corners correctly and you’ll get a
GOLD.
=================================================================
Licence Corner 3
Test Car : S2000
Course : Hornet
Time Limit : 00'30"70
Notes : Remember this? It's the first track in Beginners
Class. The secret to getting GOLD is to go wide on
the first hairpin, and turn early, almost cutting
the corner, no brakes. You should stay on the track
and not lose too much speed. You've got your
Licence!
=================================================================
Mountain Dop
Unlocks : Subaru LEGACY B4 BE5
Record : 3'16"48
Description : I love cornering on this track, they're so smooth
and flow together nicely. Anyway, before you get
started, the 'hairpins' on this track are very
wide and loose, so don't oversteer.
Go straight off the line and get set for a mid
left, followed by an easy left and an easy right.
Now for the first hairpin. You'll want to brake,
accelerate, brake, accelerate while turning to
keep a smooth path. Once out it's straight into
an easy left then an easy right, followed by a
mid right. After the straight, it's another mid
right and a straight, followed by the second
hairpin, this time to the right. Use the technique
described above. Then it's straight into another
left hairpin, a tiny easy right then two mid lefts.
After another straight take the mid left into the
final stretch.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd, possibly 2nd
Finish : 1st! Easy!
=================================================================
Drag Marker
Unlocks : Muffler (Stainless Steel) Toyota ALTEZZA SXE10
Record : 2'45"25
Description : First turn is a mid right then an S bend (rl)
followed by a mid right and another S bend (rl),
this one a bit sharper. Four easy rights lead
into yet another S bend (lr) which requires heavy
braking. After a straight there's a right HP,
followed by a straight, easy right then a difficult
(BRAKE!) left HP to finish off.
1st lap: 6th
2nd lap: 4th
Finish : 1st, might take a couple of tries though.
=================================================================
Out Run
Unlocks : Toyota MARK II Tourer V JZX90
Record : 3'04"81
Description : This is one of those courses you'll have to redo a
couple of times to get the cornering right.
After the straight the road will narrow a lane just
before you go into a right HP. Then there's a mid
left just before you go into another right HP.
An easy left leads into a left HP, which requires A
LOT of braking then a straight. After a mid-right
the road will revert back to it's original width
before a left HP. There will then be a nice long
straight with a tiny right chicane somewhere in the
middle before a mid right. Another long straight
with a slight bend to the right then an easy right
leads to the finish.
1st lap: 6th
2nd lap: 3rd, possibly 2nd
Finish : Win!
=================================================================
About Way
Unlocks : Seat (Special), Toyota Verossa JZX110
Record : 3'42"35
Description : Rain. Rain. Rain. Another Highway track with rain.
<Rally car racer voice> Hard left, into hard right,
into hard left into straight, caution weird
corner <End>. Once you get up to the end of the
straight, your GBA will proclaim a hard left. DON'T
turn a hard left, turn a mid-easy left, and go
diagonally through that left-right-left. Now for a
long straight terminating with a left HP that you
should brake most of the way around. You've reached
an annoying part now: hard left, right, left, right.
If you don't brake enough you'll go crashing in the
sides. Then there's a hard right and a straight
before you get to a left HP. This is actually a
misnomer as if you treat it like the HP before
you won't get round the corner. Instead you have
to stop turning for a second or two, then continue
around the second half. Then it's just a short
straight to the line.
1st lap: 6th, possibly 5th
2nd lap: 4th
Finish : 1st, though it might take a while, and be
a close finish.

Unlocks : Mazda MAZDA 6
Record : 2'19"91
Description : For the S bends, and some of the mids on
this track, you will require a fair bit of
braking, so be careful.
The race kicks of with an S bend (lr). Then
there's a mid-right followed by a caution, as the
road narrows. There's then a mid-left, followed by
a mid-right and a straight, followed by another S
bend (lr). It's then just a mid-right to the
finish.
1st lap: 6th
2nd lap: 4th, maybe 3rd
Finish : Not an easy win, but not too hard

Tension Pick
Unlocks : ASL Garaiya ASL-S01
Record : 2'56"41
Description : The track starts off with a straight into a mid
right. There'll then be another straight with
2 left 'kinks' to it (easy lefts). There's then
another mid right then an easy left followed by an
easy right. If you go to the right most lane you
can just cruise straight through. After that
there’s a difficult hard right left right. You’ll
have to brake for most of this. Then it’s a hard
right followed by and easy right then a hairpin
followed by two mid rights. There’s then an easy
left into the finish.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : Pretty easy win.

Description : I’ll never get the name of this course, however...
Just as you get off glance to your right and
you'll see a car turning the corner: that’s where
you have to catch up to. Anyway, go forward to the
easy left, then there’s a mid-right, followed by
an easy left, easy right and a mid right. Then
there’s two easy lefts a mid right, another easy
left and a mid right. All of these corners will
require heavy braking. Then it’s two mid rights
and a short straight into a left hairpin, that
you’ll have to brake like crazy for. Into the
next mid right, then another and an easy left.
you’ll have to brake for another left HP, then
you’ll have to go round the final loop: easy
left, mid right, short straight, mid right,
easy left. Finish!

followed by a mid right. After an unlisted easy
left there’s another straight into a right HP.
It’s easy to oversteer, so be careful. Then

Licence Special 1
Test Car : Silvia
Course : Chicane
Time Limit : 00’18”85
Notes : Easy right, then into a Chicane. I have no idea what
I did to get the gold. I was getting 17’30’s for a
While, then suddenly, out of the blue, I somehow
got 15”66. This is what I did: Straight until it
starts to turn then hard, straight a bit until the
road starts to bend then another right, then instead
of going through the chicane nicely, I went hard-ish
right then left. I’ve got the pictures to prove it if
you want...
=================================================================
Licence Special 2
Test Car : IMPREZA WRX Sti version VI
Course : COMPLEX 2
Time Limit : 00’21”08
Notes : Another one that will take a while to do. Go
forward then take the mid left without any brakes.
The first part of the S bend you won’t have to
brake for but it’s the second part that determines
whether you’ll do well. You have to time your
braking and accelerating perfectly so you don’t
lose any speed. Then it’s right chicane and a hard
left to the finish. You shouldn’t have to brake
for the left, and you can cut the corner by a very
small distance without failing.

Unlocks : Subaru IMPREZA WRX Sti GDB
Record : 4’18”30
Description : The track starts off with a right chicane into two
mid rights. Then there’s an S bend (rl), and a mid
left, followed by an easy left. To mid lefts lead
up into a tight right hairpin. Braking is essential.
Then it’s two mid lefts and a right chicane followed
by another right HP, though it’s not as tight. A
right chicane splits the next straight, terminating
in a mid right followed closely by an S bend (rl).
Next it’s a straight, easy right, another straight,
and a left chicane. A mid right leads into the
finish.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : Even if you’re not that good you shouldn’t
have too many troubles here 1st!

Blast Laps
Unlocks : Muffler (Titanium), Toyota MARK II Grande JZX110
Record : 4’18”30
Description : The track starts off with an easy right then an
easy left. After that there’s a mid left followed
by a straight then a left HP. There’s another
straight, a right HP then another straight. Be
careful with the next HP, because about 3/4
through it the road will narrow. Then there’s an
easy left, easy right, then a mid right. After
a short straight there’s a left HP into the line.
1st lap: 6th

Finish : Shouldn’t be too hard to win. Just don’t
bang into the sides too much.
=================================================================
Assault
Unlocks : Nissan SKYLINE GT-R BCNR33
Record : 5’00”20
Description : This is a very SLOW track. Lots of hairpins and
tight turns equals lots of braking.
The track starts off with a straight, the only
straight on the course. Then there’s a right HP,
followed by a short straight, a left HP then
another right HP. After two mid lefts there’s
a right HP. An easy right leads into a right HP
followed by a mid left then a left HP. Straight
after this there’s an S bend (lr) then an easy
left. After this there’s a right HP followed by
an easy right. You have to turn a bit harder for
this corner. After an easy right and a mid left
there’s an easy left leading into a right HP.
There’s then an easy right followed by a left HP.
After an easy right there’s a tricky right HP.
You’ll have to brake hard for this, turning as
you go. Then it’s just a straight into the
finish.
1st lap: 6th
2nd lap: 4th
Finish : 1st. It might be a bit tight but you
Should get there.

Unlocks : Engine (Full Tuned), Mazda RX-7 FD3S
Record : 3’07”15
Description : Yay! A highway track. Not too many corners :).
Off the line there’s a long straight then a hard
right. After a very long straight there’s a hard
right that’ll need a bit of braking then another
straight followed by a hard right, then another
two hard rights. Now there’s two slow mid lefts
followed by a straight, then a left HP. Now
there’s a hard right followed by two easy rights
and a hard right to the end.
1st lap: 5th

Terrible Mountain
Unlocks : Mitsubishi GTO Z16A
Record : 5’12”55
Description : There’s no mountain, but it’s definitely terrible.
This is just like Assault: A SLOW track. Maybe even
slower.
For this track I’m not going to do the usual
commentary/description thing. Just a list of
corners, with comments where necessary.
Easy left, unmentioned easy right. Mid left,

Finish : 1st, easily, because you should have
plenty of time.
=================================================================
Skyscraper
Unlocks : Nissan SKYLINE GT-R BNR34
Record : 2’26”32
Description : This is a very odd track, because it’s a highway
with easies and mid’s and curved hairpins. It’s all
about taking corners at very high speeds.
The course starts off with a straight followed by
a series of easies: right, right, left then a right
HP. Then there’s a left HP followed by two mid
rights. If you are good, you’ll be able to slide
nicely around the next hard right. It takes a bit
of practice but isn’t to hard. Then there’s a
tight left HP, a right HP, then a short sprint to
the finish.
1st lap: 6th, almost 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : 1st. If you find you’re just not fast
enough, make sure you’re using the GTO
or the Impreza, fully tuned. Also try
not to bump into those sides, they
really slow you down.
=================================================================
Slippery
Unlocks : Toyota ARISTO JZS161
Record : 3’43”20
Description : A very complex track with quite a few tricky
corners.
After the short straight there’s a hard right then
an easy left. After two mid lefts there’s a straight
followed by an easy left then an S bend (lr). You’ll
probably have to start braking once you get to the
easy left then drift around. Once out there’s a left
HP which needs a lot of brakes then a right HP, which
is even harder. Following that there’s a hard right
then an easy right then a long straight which ends in
a (caution) easy left followed by a hairpin. You have
to be very careful on this corner and brake very hard.
Try to drift around the whole thing on brakes. It’s
then just a straight to the finish.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 2nd
Finish : Easy win!

acceleration isn’t bad. Once again, I will be just
listing the corners with a couple of notes.

Description: The course kicks off with an easy enough left. You
can then stretch out on a long straight before
negotiating middle left. Another straight leads
into a hairpin which you will want to start turning
for quite early braking as well. After a mid right
you'll be faced with another hairpin. A LOT of
braking is required for this. Then it’s just a short
distance to the straight.

and another mid-left. An easy-right and you'll
be faced with a hairpin that you can just slide
around. After an easy left then a tiny right (you
don't have to turn for it) you'll be faced with
another hairpin that you should brake quite early

Big Core
Unlocks : Nissan MARCH AK11 (Tuned)
Record : 1'49"11
Description: An easy left leads into a long straight
then another two easy lefts with a straight in
between. Start turning by the time the you reach
the red borders and you'll be fine. At the end
of the straight you'll reach a left hairpin.
You'll need to start braking 2-3 car lengths
before the turn then accelerate out. After a mid
right you'll see an exclamation mark come up but
don't be too afraid. The course will narrow a
bit and you'll have to do a mid right. The
course will then return to its former width.
Now it’s just a hairpin to the finish. Don’t
be too worried if you go onto the grass, at
the speed you’re going at it shouldn’t matter.

followed by a straight and another easy right.
You'll then face a hard right then an easy right
which actually isn't that easy because the road
narrows. After an easy left (try not to over-
run) there's a left chicane. There will then
be a hard right followed by a nice long straight.
Start turning for the next hard quite early
and you won't have a problem.

is blocked so swing your car to the left. At the
end of the narrow straight is a hairpin which you
will want to brake for. Another long straight
then a right HP followed closely by a left. After
another straight you'll hit an easy right then a
mid-left.

made up of right angled turns only (except the
last corner which is a hairpin).
You'll start on a nice long straight but don't be
fooled by the width of the highway, it gets
narrower. At the end of this, take a right. Then
there's another long straight followed by a right,
then yet another straight followed by a right.
After this there's... another straight followed by
a right, although this straight is shorter. After
a short straight there'll be ANOTHER right then
two quick lefts. After another slightly longer
straight you'll take a left then hit the hairpin,
which is just two rights stuck together. You can
drift all the way around this.

right and an easy left you'll hit to mid rights in
a row. Then there's an easy-left and a straight.
You'll now get a '!'. Brake early and take the
corner with brakes all the way. The ! was there
because the track narrows down substantially.
Now you'll face a series of HP's. Left, right, left
right. Then you'll hit the finish.

for the second half. Then, two hard rights in a
row, but with a gap in between. After that
there'll be two hard lefts, followed by a straight
and another left. After an easy right HP then a

Sprint Maze
Unlocks : Nissan Fairlady 240Z HS30

Description: Another street race, the key to this is to
not bump into the walls, which is quite easy.
It starts off with a easy right (actually, I
think it might be two rights). You'll then get
a warning, because the track is about to split.
Position yourself in the second lane from the
left and get ready for the fork. Once it forks
you'll get two mid-rights followed by an easy-
right then an easy left. Next up is a left HP
which you'll want to brake for. After a
straight you'll get two mid-rights followed by
another straight, a right chicane, and yet
another mid-right to the finish.

Beat Sweet
Unlocks : Subaru LEGACY Touring Wagon BH5
Record : 02'23"88
Description: This track is all about braking at the right
time. It starts off with a mid-right into an
easy left. After a short straight you'll want
to start braking for the left HP which leads
into a weird kind of corner. Just cut it.
After that you'll get two mid-rights in a row
which require average braking. Now for a nice
long straight. Drift around the left HP at
the end and brake a tiny bit into the easy
left. Brake again into the mid-right and get
set for another straight. At the end of this
you'll face another mid-right, and if it's
not your final lap, drift through to the
mid-right once you've passed the finish.
1st lap: 6th or 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : 1st!

Super Pass
Unlocks : Toyota SPRINTER TRUENO AE86 (Tuned)
Record : 3'33"13
Description: This is another track that focuses on braking, with
an added twist: rain. Actually, it’s not as hard as
it looks: I managed to get to first by the end of
the second lap. It starts off with a straight then a
mid-left. After a short straight you'll get and S
bend (mid left to right HP) then a couple of mid-
lefts. After along straight rush madly around the
two mid-lefts and ignore that warning sign. Yes,
I'm being serious. Now for a series of hairpins.
They go right, left, right, left. The basic strategy
for these is to slide around them, braking quite
early and judging your turn and acceleration times
well.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : Easy win.
=================================================================
Great Reef
Unlocks : Toyota MR-S ZZW30
Record : 2'23"93
Description: Forward off the line and it's left. Now you'll get
a warning. Here you'll have to pull off a hairpin
turn, in driving school they'd call it a 'U-turn'
because you're just doubling back on the same road.
Start turning early and brake heavily. Don't hit
the traffic island. After a straight and a right
there'll be another nice long straight then a right
into another straight. Be careful with that right,
make sure you turn into the right (left) side of the
road. The next hard right you'll have a bit of lee-
way on the pavement but try to stay off. Then
another right that requires substantial braking
(don't get jammed up next to the yellow border).
After yet another straight it's a hard left into the
finish.
1st lap: 6th
2nd lap: 5th or 4th
Finish : First, but not as easy as last time.

the first hairpin, and turn early, almost cutting
the corner, no brakes. You should stay on the track
and not lose too much speed. You've got your

persevere.

Mountain Dop
Unlocks : Nissan SKYLINE GT-R BNR32

Description : Go straight off the line and get set for a mid
left, followed by an easy left and an easy right.
Now for the first hairpin. You'll want to brake,
accelerate, brake, accelerate while turning to
keep a smooth path. Once out it's straight into
an easy left then an easy right, followed by a
mid right. After the straight, it's another mid
right and a straight, followed by the second
hairpin, this time to the right. Use the technique
described above. Then it's straight into another
left hairpin, a tiny easy right then two mid lefts.
After another straight take the mid left into the
final stretch.

Record : 2'45"25
Description : There are two ways, you can do this track, the
proper ‘stay-on-track’ way, or the ‘go-real-fast-
and-try-to-kill-yourself’ way. Not surprisingly,
I took the second option, and won easily, so it’s
really up to you.
First turn is a mid right then an S bend (rl)
followed by a mid right and another S bend (rl),
this one a bit sharper. Four easy rights lead
into yet another S bend (lr) which requires heavy
braking. After a straight there's a right HP,
followed by a straight, easy right then a difficult
(BRAKE!) left HP to finish off.

Out Run
Unlocks : Toyota CHASER Tourer V JZX100
Record : 3'04"81
Description : This is one of those courses you'll have to redo a
couple of times to get the cornering right.
After the straight the road will narrow a lane just
before you go into a right HP. Then there's a mid
left just before you go into another right HP.
An easy left leads into a left HP, which requires A
LOT of braking then a straight. After a mid-right
the road will revert back to it's original width
before a left HP. There will then be a nice long
straight with a tiny right chicane somewhere in the
middle before a mid right. Another long straight
with a slight bend to the right then an easy right
leads to the finish.
1st lap: 6th
2nd lap: 4th, possibly 3rd
Finish : Win!
=================================================================
About Way
Unlocks : Toyota Supra JZA80 (Tuned)
Record : 3'42"35
Description : Rain. Rain. Rain. Another Highway track with rain.
You have to be careful because lots of hards in a
row equals trouble.
<Rally car racer voice> Hard left, into hard right,
into hard left into straight, caution weird
corner <End>. Once you get up to the end of the
straight, your GBA will proclaim a hard left. DON'T
turn a hard left, turn a mid-easy left, and go
diagonally through that left-right-left. Now for a
long straight terminating with a left HP that you
should brake most of the way around. You've reached
an annoying part now: hard left, right, left, right.
If you don't brake enough you'll go crashing in the
sides. Then there's a hard right and a straight
before you get to a left HP. This is actually a
misnomer as if you treat it like the HP before
you won't get round the corner. Instead you have
to stop turning for a second or two, then continue
around the second half. Then it's just a short
straight to the line.
1st lap: 6th, possibly 5th
2nd lap: 4th
Finish : 1st, though it might take a while, and be
a close finish.
=================================================================
Plain Runner
Unlocks : Toyota MR2 SW20 (Tuned)
Record : 2'19"91
Description : For the S bends, and some of the mids on
this track, you will require a fair bit of
braking, so be careful.
The race kicks of with an S bend (lr). Then
there's a mid-right followed by a caution, as the
road narrows. There's then a mid-left, followed by
a mid-right and a straight, followed by another S
bend (lr). It's then just a mid-right to the
finish.
1st lap: 6th
2nd lap: 4th, maybe 3rd
Finish : Win! Just stay on the track :)
=================================================================
Tension Pick
Unlocks : Nissan 180SX RPS13 (Tuned)
Record : 2'56"41
Description : The track starts off with a straight into a mid
right. There'll then be another straight with
2 left 'kinks' to it (easy lefts). There's then
another mid right then an easy left followed by an
easy right. If you go to the right most lane you
can just cruise straight through. After that
there’s a difficult hard right left right. You’ll
have to brake for most of this. Then it’s a hard
right followed by and easy right then a hairpin
followed by two mid rights. There’s then an easy
left into the finish.
1st lap: 6th
2nd lap: 4th or 3rd
Finish : Not as easy as the last time, take a bit’
of getting used to.
=================================================================
Country Mig
Unlocks : Nissan Fairlady Z Z32 (Tuned)
Record : 4’07”45
Description : I’ll never get the name of this course, however...
Just as you get off glance to your right and
you'll see a car turning the corner: that’s where
you have to catch up to. Anyway, go forward to the
easy left, then there’s a mid-right, followed by
an easy left, easy right and a mid right. Then
there’s two easy lefts a mid right, another easy
left and a mid right. All of these corners will
require heavy braking. Then it’s two mid rights
and a short straight into a left hairpin, that
you’ll have to brake like crazy for. Into the
next mid right, then another and an easy left.
you’ll have to brake for another left HP, then
you’ll have to go round the final loop: easy
left, mid right, short straight, mid right,
easy left. Finish!
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 4th or 3rd
Finish : 1st!
=================================================================
Breakdown
Unlock : Nissan SKYLINE GT-R BCNR 33
Record : 4’07”96
Description : Once more track, and you’re into the big league,
Professional! If only it was that easy...
Easy right, then a straight. Now you have a left
HP. Now there’s a long straight, then a left HP,
followed by a mid right. After an unlisted easy
left there’s another straight into a right HP.
It’s easy to oversteer, so be careful. Then
there’s a left HP, a straight, then another left
HP. Easy right, easy left then a straight into
a hard left. Next is a quick easy right then a
left HP and an easy right HP into the line.
1st lap: 6th
2nd lap: 4th
Finish : 1st eventually... Into Professional Class!

Professional Class

Licence Special 1
Test Car : Silvia
Course : Chicane
Time Limit : 00’18”35
Notes : Easy right, then into a Chicane. I have no idea what
I did to get the gold. I was getting 17’30’s for a
While, then suddenly, out of the blue, I somehow
got 15”66. This is what I did: Straight until it
starts to turn then hard, straight a bit until the
road starts to bend then another right, then instead
of going through the chicane nicely, I went hard-ish
right then left. I’ve got the pictures to prove it if
you want...
=================================================================
Licence Special 2
Test Car : IMPREZA WRX Sti version VI
Course : COMPLEX 2
Time Limit : 00’20”68
Notes : Another one that will take a while to do. It’s
not impossible, but it’s definitely not easy. Go
forward then take the mid left without any brakes.
The first part of the S bend you won’t have to
brake for but it’s the second part that determines
whether you’ll do well. You have to time your
braking and accelerating perfectly so you don’t
lose any speed. Then it’s right chicane and a hard
left to the finish. You shouldn’t have to brake
for the left, and you can cut the corner by a very
small distance without failing.
=================================================================

Notes : See description above (medium 1) and refer to
Driving tips.
=================================================================
Blow Back
Unlocks : Toyota COROLLA LEVIN TE27
Record : 4’18”30
Description : The track starts off with a right chicane into two
mid rights. Then there’s an S bend (rl), and a mid
left, followed by an easy left. To mid lefts lead
up into a tight right hairpin. Braking is essential.
Then it’s two mid lefts and a right chicane followed
by another right HP, though it’s not as tight. A
right chicane splits the next straight, terminating
in a mid right followed closely by an S bend (rl).
Next it’s a straight, easy right, another straight,
and a left chicane. A mid right leads into the
finish.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : Even if you don’t always stay on the
course, you shouldn’t have too many
troubles here. 1st!
=================================================================
Blast Laps
Unlocks : Toyota ARISTO JZS161
Record : 4’18”30
Description : The track starts off with an easy right then an
easy left. After that there’s a mid left followed
by a straight then a left HP. There’s another
straight, a right HP then another straight. Be
careful with the next HP, because about 3/4
through it the road will narrow. Then there’s an
easy left, easy right, then a mid right. After
a short straight there’s a left HP into the line.
1st lap: 6th
2nd lap: 4th
Finish : Shouldn’t be too hard to win. Just don’t
bang into the sides too much.
=================================================================
Assault
Unlocks : Mitsubishi GTO Z16A
Record : 5’00”20
Description : This is a very SLOW track. Lots of hairpins and
tight turns equals lots of braking.
The track starts off with a straight, the only
straight on the course. Then there’s a right HP,
followed by a short straight, a left HP then
another right HP. After two mid lefts there’s
a right HP. An easy right leads into a right HP
followed by a mid left then a left HP. Straight
after this there’s an S bend (lr) then an easy
left. After this there’s a right HP followed by
an easy right. You have to turn a bit harder for
this corner. After an easy right and a mid left
there’s an easy left leading into a right HP.
There’s then an easy right followed by a left HP.
After an easy right there’s a tricky right HP.
You’ll have to brake hard for this, turning as
you go. Then it’s just a straight into the
finish.
1st lap: 6th
2nd lap: 4th
Finish : 1st. It might be a bit tight but you
Should get there.
=================================================================
Knock Down
Unlocks : Nissan SILVIA S15 (Tuned)
Record : 3’07”15
Description : Yay! A highway track. Not too many corners :).
Off the line there’s a long straight then a hard
right. After a very long straight there’s a hard
right that’ll need a bit of braking then another
straight followed by a hard right, then another
two hard rights. Now there’s two slow mid lefts
followed by a straight, then a left HP. Now
there’s a hard right followed by two easy rights
and a hard right to the end.
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : An easy win!
=================================================================
Terrible Mountain
Unlocks : Toyota ALTEZZA SXE10
Record : 5’12”55
Description : There’s no mountain, but it’s definitely terrible.
This is just like Assault: A SLOW track. Maybe even
slower.
For this track I’m not going to do the usual
commentary/description thing. Just a list of
corners, with comments where necessary.
Easy left, unmentioned easy right. Mid left,
mid left, mid right, right HP, left HP: heavy
braking. Easy left, easy left, easy right, left HP.
mid right, easy left, left HP. Mid right, easy
left, right HP. Mid right, easy left, easy right,
left HP. Easy right, easy left, right HP (big
slide). Mid right, easy right, left HP. Straight!
S bend (lr), left HP, easy right, Finish!
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 4th
Finish : 1st, not too bad.
=================================================================
Skyscraper
Unlocks : Toyota CHASER Tourer V JZX100
Record : 2’26”32
Description : This is a very odd track, because it’s a highway
with easies and mid’s and curved hairpins. It’s all
about taking corners at very high speeds.
The course starts off with a straight followed by
a series of easies: right, right, left then a right
HP. Then there’s a left HP followed by two mid
rights. If you are good, you’ll be able to slide
nicely around the next hard right. It takes a bit
of practice but isn’t to hard. Then there’s a
tight left HP, a right HP, then a short sprint to
the finish.
1st lap: 6th, almost 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : 1st. Try not to hit the sides too much.
=================================================================
Slippery
Unlocks : Mazda RX-7 FD3S (Tuned)
Record : 3’43”20
Description : A very complex track with quite a few tricky
corners.
After the short straight there’s a hard right then
an easy left. After two mid lefts there’s a straight
followed by an easy left then an S bend (lr). You’ll
probably have to start braking once you get to the
easy left then drift around. Once out there’s a left
HP which needs a lot of brakes then a right HP, which
is even harder. Following that there’s a hard right
then an easy right then a long straight which ends in
a (caution) easy left followed by a hairpin. You have
to be very careful on this corner and brake very hard.
Try to drift around the whole thing on brakes. It’s
then just a straight to the finish.
1st lap: 6th
2nd lap: 4th maybe 3rd
Finish : Not as easy as last time: you have to keep
CONTROL of your car.
=================================================================
Flash Speed
Unlocks : Extra - Radio Con, Extra - WIRE FRAME, Nissan
SKYLINE GT-R BNR34 (Tuned)
Record : 5’28”55
Description : This is another course with lots of corners. The
average speed is about 80mph so it doesn’t really
matter what car you choose, as long as its
acceleration isn’t bad. Once again, I will be just
listing the corners with a couple of notes.
Mid left, right HP, left HP, right HP: Don’t
oversteer. Left HP, right HP, easy left, hard
left, hard left. Easy right, right HP, mid left,
S bend (rl). Mid left, right HP, left HP, right
HP. Easy right (un mentioned), left HP, easy left,
right HP. Easy right, left HP, S bend (lr). Right
HP, mid left, hard left, Finish!
1st lap: 5th
2nd lap: 3rd
Finish : 1st! DONE! FINISHED!
