Only to have a BONUS season open up. It's 12 Street Races, 10 laps each. You need something ridiculous like 30,000 K to get a GOLD.
I also found out that you get medals for the Quick Race thing, so I need to do that. And I have to get Golds on the last two levels of the Arcade mode as well.
So I thought I'd finished it, only to find out I've got tonnes more to do...
When you complete the game you get infinate jokers, the custom race skins for all cars, as well as something else I can't remember.
Mabye someday in the far furture when PGR2 comes along on Xbox Live, I'll have to challange you to see who's the best.
> Set the target time to 1:24.5.
Thats what i've been doing wrong. I set the target time to 1:19:00 and was really pushing it, finding it too difficult.
Thanks, i'll try your advice later. :P
Set the target time to 1:24.5. It is possible to lap a good couple of seconds quicker than that though. I found that time good because it gives a bonus Kudos of 1020, and so all you need is an extra 250 per lap to do it.
I used the Carrera GT, and got an average time of 1:24.093.
When you go through the gravel sections SLOW DOWN! The target time is slow enough so that you can take it easy through the tricky sections. Also, to get the 250 K per lap that you need, combo together as many things as you can.
It's actually better to link a couple of little slides together round one corner, than it is to do one long one, as the combo bonus is higher.
Anyway, let me know how you get on - hope it helps!
IF not it'll have to wait 'til Monday I'm afraid...
> The average lap challenge in New York, you just have to keep practicing. I can't remember what target time I used, sorry.
If its not too much to ask, could you check? It says the best target you have beaten on the information screen just before you race, where you can raise lower the number of kudos.
I find it hard as it's easy to hit the sides and loose kudos on the gravel sections aswell as trying to get a fast lap.
Annoyingly, I was 40 kudos off a gold in the other street race i told you about in the second last season. If I had of done it I would have been able to use that joker on the other one.
I was so shizzed off, I had to stop playing to cool down.
Tried the first race of the bonus levels last night, damn that's hard! I'm assuming you finish in first and just get 1000 K extra during the race? I think it'll take a while for me to get Golds on all of these...
> , and I'm trying to get Golds in the Very Hard level of the Arcade Mode
I love those. Very hard, but skillfull. Some require 3 flawless laps, ALL linked together. I've done em all.
The average lap challenge in New York, you just have to keep practicing. I can't remember what target time I used, sorry.
I haven't tried the Bonus levels yet. I've done the quick race, got Golds in all of those, and I'm trying to get Golds in the Very Hard level of the Arcade Mode before I try the binus level. Probably give it another go tonight for a bit.
Good news is I only have 2 more Golds to get on the Bonus level.:P
Some of those races are TOUGH. The first corner is often the deciding corner meaning there are alot of restarts. The most frustrating thing however is you'll want to punch someone when a car comes right outta nowhere and rams you up the backside, spins you out and puts your last 10 minutes of racing down the tubes.
