SET 3 - SHORT COURSE

1. GO SLOW
The object here is to get the fastest lap at Martinsville. You have to go flat out until the last possible
moment to brake. Hit the brakes sharply and try not to scrub off too much speed in the turn. Take the
shortest route through the turn at the apex. To do this you have to brake at the outside corner of the
concrete. If you're too fast, you'll push to the wall. Steer the car to the apex at the apron, making sure
you are going slow enough not to spin the tires, and then stomp the gas and allow the car to drift out
to the outside of the concrete patch coming up off of the turn. You'll be sure to get the fastest lap with
10th's to spare.

2. HOT LAP
You have to get a good qualifying lap here at New Hampshire. Basically what you have learned in the previous scenario can be applied here as well. You have to apply the same driving through the turns as you have in other scenarios for the shortest and fastest way through. This one is fairly easy.

3. BRUISER AT BRISTOL
This one is fun! You have to block the three cars behind you so Bobby Labonte can win. If they get beside you hit them in the doors and run them up the track, but you have to watch the other cars as well in your mirror. Block them at all cost! You'll see Bobby come up from behind in your mirror. If you have to run the other cars up the track to give Bobby the inside by all means do so. Have fun!

4. TROUBLE AHEAD
You're in 16th place at Richmond with just enough fuel to finish. There are cars pitting in and out of the pits so you have to watch out for them. As for the rest of the race you'll have to really get aggressive here. Run your car as hard as you can into the turns, even if you have to nudge or practically run over the other cars. Don't waste any time here or you'll miss the win and the gold!

5. THE MASTERS
Terry Labonte, Dale Earnhardt and Rusty Wallace are at Bristol to teach you a lesson. Well here's
your chance to give them a taste of their own medicine. Run these guys as hard as you can into the
corners. Drive as aggressively as you did in the previous scenario. This can get very competitive but
you'll do just fine.

6. BLOCK BABY BLOCK
You're in a beat-up Square D car at Martinsville. You are in the lead and there are a bunch of cars behind you that want the win just as bad. With two laps to go they are trying to get around you to win the race. Block these guys at all costs, using your mirror to watch their movements. Just like the name of the scenario says, "Block Baby Block"!


SET 4 - ADVANCED TECHNIQUES

1. DRAFTING
You're coming out of turns 3 and 4 at Daytona. Stay behind Bobby Labonte to achieve the fastest lap speed. Don't try to pass him and remember not to make any sudden moves with the steering that will cost you in precious time.

2. THE 'RIGHT WAY'
Nascar cars do turn right! Here you have to get through turn 1 at Watkin's Glen for a fast time. The scenario that you had involving Martinsville for the fast lap will apply here except that you have to turn right. Remember that braking and throttle response go hand in hand. Too much of either and you'll miss the gold.

3. THE 'S' CURVE
At the Glen again. You have to get through the S turns for a fast time. Coming into the turn you'll have to pick the straightest line through. Hit the brakes at the 2nd to last marker. Downshift to 2nd gear. Get back onto the gas as fast as possible. You can use the rumble strips through the turns, however don't leave the track at all or you'll have to start over.

4. THE 'U' TURN
Turn 11 at Sears point can be a bear! When you get placed into the car look to your left at the building for the braking markers. At the 200 marker brake and downshift to first. You RS shifter guys, go through the gears down to first. Ease through the turn making sure not to push. You should be able to get the gold from here.

5. PIT STOP
You have 10 laps to go at Phoenix and you have to pit and so does everyone else. There is a bug in the game. If you pit right away there's a good chance that none of the other cars will pit at all. So we suggest you go one more lap, then pit. By doing so there will be a couple of cars with fresh tires but they are really no competition for you. Just race as fast as you can and you'll be up front in no time.

6. MR. CONSISTENCY
As the title of this scenario suggests, you have to be consistent here. Scrubbing your tires here will really hurt you. You won't need the brakes here but you will need to have some throttle management through the turns. Stay as low as you can through the turns and don't push. Use the markers on the wall for when to lift off the throttle and when to get back on. This one will take some practice but it's a good learning tool for when to use the gas and when not to.
