Races

There are 40 races in Paradise City.

Races in Paradise City are just like anywhere else: get to the finish line first to win. Luckily there aren't too many finish lines to deal with. Each race, regardless of the start point, ends at a one of 8 endpoints on the edge of the map: The Wind Farm, Wildcats Stadium, The Lone Stallion Ranch, The Lifeguard HQ, The Country Club, The Observatory, The Waterfront Plaza or the Shipyard. Learning the home stretch of these locations helpful for pulling off last minute wins. Otherwise, throwing your weight around a bit will usually land you an easy win. Take out the lead car and you can cruise to the finish line without any trouble, most of the time. Once you get the lead, drive carefully and don't boost too much and you'll leave the battle far behind.</p>

Take out the lead cars and you can cruise to the finish line without any trouble, most of the time. Once you get the lead, drive carefully and don't boost too much and you'll leave your battling foes far behind. Races can be won easily with a Stunt Car, which gives you boost when you need it allowing you too quickly from takedowns and wrecks. Stunt Cars are generally sturdier than speed cars too, so you'll be able to score more takedowns.

While most races involve 8 cars, some races are one-on-one. In these races, take out your competition early and give one long boost to put some distance between you and the wreck. After that, maintain a steady speed and don't crash and your opponent won't ever catch up.
