The 360

Total Time: 0:10s
Vehicle Provided: Infernus
Difficulty: 1/10
What you need for gold:
All you need to do is complete a perfect circle or 360 and stop in your original position in the time allotted.

Tips: Easiest mission, if you can not do this one, you have problems, and should give up now, just follow the directions given to you (Hold X and Square and use your left analog stick to turn left or right and complete a full circle)

The 180

Total Time: 0:10s
Vehicle Provided: Blista Compact
Difficulty: 2/10
What you need for gold:
You need to complete the 180 in the time allotted, and not hit any cones (take any damage) and must also park perfectly in the square cones at the end of the track.

Tips: Since I’m pretty sure everyone uses the handbrake for turning at one point or another, this should be fairly easy. Just floor it into the turn but hit R1 at about the middle of the first part of the turn and slide around the turn smoothly. Floor it when you’ve straightened out, and into the end markers. The hardest part of this test is most likely parking. If you have at least 3 seconds left, just ease into it park right in the center of it. Piece of Cake.

Whip and Terminate

Total Time: 0:05s
Vehicle Provided: Banshee
Difficulty: 2.5/10
What you need for gold:
Complete the course in the time allotted with no damage and impeccable parking.

Tips: Basically the same as the 180, just floor it into the turn and powerslide into it. Moving into the outside part of the cones before the turn helps to make a more controlled powerslide. Again, the hardest part of the mission is parking. You will probably only have 2 seconds max to park so you have to either control your car properly around the turn or cross your fingers, but it’s fairly easy anyway.

Pop and Control

Total Time: 0:05s
Vehicle Provided: Police
Difficulty: 4/10
What you need for gold:
Complete the course in the time allotted with no damage and impeccable parking.

Tips: This one is a little more random and uncontrolled than the previous three. First, floor it until you are just about to hit the spikes, at this point, let go of X and let your tires pop. Right after your tires pop, hold X again and try to control the erratic steering, which isn’t that hard. **DO NOT HOLD X THROUGH THE SPIKES, YOUR CONTROL GOES AWAY IF YOU DO** If you are having trouble keeping control of it after your tires are popped, slow down a bit and only lightly turn the analog stick and you’ll be fine. Again, the hardest part of this mission is most likely parking in my opinion. The erratic controls make it even harder this time. You do not have time to park properly so just keep the car as straight as possible and park in the middle of the cones.

Burn and Lap

Total Time: Unlimited
Vehicle Provided: Banshee
Difficulty: 10/10
What you need for gold:
Complete the course in below a low 35 seconds (ex. 35.124 s) and have no damage acquired.

Tips: Guys, I’m going to flat out tell you, this may be the hardest one you are going to have to do. To beat this in the low 35’s or high 34’s is nearly impossible but I’m going to try to help you. Firstly, never let go of X unless you are about to hit a cone and must brake. Otherwise, powerslide the entire time. To get this unholy time, you must either go on the outside edge of the course and turn into the inside all 10 times, or go on the inside edge of the course and turn outside, all while powersliding. If you screw up your routine too many times, you might as well just give up, and start again. My best tips is though, don’t get too frustrated, because all that does is make you more impatient and less controlled. If you feel yourself getting annoyed, go do something else because it only gets worse. If your thumb starts to hurt from turning too much, switch to the other way (i.e. if you’re going clockwise, change to counter clockwise).

Cone Coil

Total Time: 0:10s
Vehicle Provided: Banshee
Difficulty: 4.5/10
What you need for gold:
Complete the course in the allotted time without any damage and impeccable parking.

Tips: This one is almost fun, plus you need a break from Burn and Lap. It’s simple weaving, so just floor it and weave through the openings (if you do it good enough you shouldn’t have to brake at all). There is also no need to powerslide until you get to the far end of the course where you must powerslide around one little cone and go back to the start. This powerslide is easy, but if you find yourself flying into cones when you slide, slow down a bit before you reach it, but be aware that you are hard-pressed for time this challenge so use it wisely. Parking plus the small time limit make this mission moderately hard but certainly one of the easier ones. You have no time to park (literally, you might have 2 seconds if you’re lucky) so you kind of have to go in straight and hope that you parked in the middle. On to the next one!

The '90'

Total Time: 0:05s
Vehicle Provided: Banshee
Difficulty: 8.5/10
What you need for gold:
Complete a ‘90’ perfectly in the center of both cars without damaging yourself or them in the time allotted. *Note* Don’t even try to parallel park without powersliding, you don’t have enough time)

Tips: Welcome to the luckiest challenge of the driving school. All you have to do is powerslide the car between the other two cars. Simple eh? WRONG. Guide your car slightly to the left or right of the center path and then powerslide into the space. A good tip is to use the skid marks that you left behind previously. If you got a good one (90% or above) then follow the skid mark but alter your course slightly, and it helps alot. Good luck with this one.

Wheelie Weave

Total Time: Unlimited
Vehicle Provided: Banshee
Difficulty: 5.5/10
What you need for gold:
To complete the course with minimal damage.

Tips: To keep this baby up on two wheels, just floor it up the little ramp you are given and use the method of overturn to keep it up on two wheels. Overturn is basically a tool to help you if you find yourself falling one way too much. If you are moving too much to the left for instance, move your analog stick to the left to keep it up on two wheels and vice versa. The only problem is, when you do this, your car turns a little bit, and you are no longer heading straight into the red marker, so you must guide it into the center again. Parking, yet again, is your main concern. You must park straight and in the center of the marker to get 100%. You are allowed to take small damages in this one (like 1% or 3% or so) and still get gold.

Spin and Go

Total Time: 0:05s
Vehicle Provided: Taxi
Difficulty: 3/10
What you need for gold:
Complete the course in the time allotted without any damage.

Tips: This one is also very fun. You must at first go in reverse (use R2 and L2 to see behind you) and turn straight via a 180 and then park. Based on whether you are are going clockwise or counter-clockwise you must turn right or left to turn around without hitting a cone. If you find yourself about to hit a cone (like when you are turning) brake quickly and turn accordingly, and continue. There is very little room for error in this one so be prepared to try again if you screw up. A little practice goes a long way.

P.I.T. Maneuver

Total Time: Unlimited but ends if opposing car goes past the line.
Vehicle Provided: Police
Difficulty: 6.5/10
What you need for gold:
To complete the challenge before the opposing car reaches the "Finish Line" with no damage.

Tips: This one is pretty easy, all you have to do is stop the opposing police cruiser by hitting it at a 45 degree angle from the left or right. Refer to the diagram below for an estimated trajectory of a right side hit. When you hit it at this 45 degree angle it should react to it by turning sideways. Keep your car pressed against it like a "T". Now, the damage is kind of weird, some times you get hurt, sometimes you don’t so I think you just have to hope (not sure).

Alley OOP

Total Time: 0:05s
Vehicle Provided: Banshee
Difficulty: 6.5/10
What you need for gold:
Complete a barrel roll off the ramp in the allotted time with no damage.

Tips: This ones fun because you get to crash cars. Again, practice makes perfect but I can speed your way to a gold. First of all, floor it when it begins, line yourself up to have only two wheels on the side of the ramp when you approach it. When you hit the ramp, let go of X and use the left analog stick to adjust your pitch (or which way you want your roll to go).Try to land flat on your wheels by not letting the barrel roll go past its original position. There is some degree of parking in this mission but if you complete the barrel roll right, you shouldn't be outside of it.

City Slicking

What you need for gold:
You Need to finish in a time of 1:40 and take no damage.

Tips: Do not look at the time at all. Do NOT. It is not important enough to move your eyes away from traffic.

Now for the route you take. It seems this game is sometimes programmed to have cars appear cutting off precious shortcuts. When you speed out of the school, stay on the road, do not try and skip that corner, because 99% of the time, a car comes creeping along.

Anyway, stay on this road, right smack dab in the middle, on the tracks. Now, you are not going to follow this to the end. I have a better way. Take a right one the road that has the Fast Food Place. Now, take the next left. following this road all the way down. Take a left at the end, then another left at the place with the marker. Speed up this hill and tilt your camera so you can see for traffic. Follow this road all the way down till you hit the road with the Taco place again. Take a right, then a left back onto the main road. Follow it back to the school. Be careful pulling back into the school, because if you jump the curb there, it counts as damage, so pull in normally.

And that’s all, keep practicing that route and you should learn the traffic patterns and when to speed and when to slow down. Then that gold is yours.

Vehicle: NRG 500
Difficulty: 10/10
What you need for gold:
