TIME ATTACK

TIME ATTACK OPTION
This option is outside the main Kudos challenge, and lets
you take a drive around any of the circuits you have
unlocked in the main game. It also allows you to post a
personal 'fastest lap'on any circuit, which means you can
compete with others via the Internet and VMU. It's ideal to
get some practice on circuits you find difficult, before
putting your Kudos on the line by committing to race in the
real Stage! You race against your own Ghost Car for the
circuit.

GHOST ATTACK OPTION
This allows you to load in any Ghost Lap from the VMU which you have saved,
received via e-mail, or downloaded from the Internet. You can then race against this
Ghost Lap.

QUICK RACE

The Quick Race mode allows you to set up your own street
races, for practice or for fun! You can choose from any of
the circuits that you have unlocked, and you can choose to
race with, or against, any cars you have in the Showroom.
There's no Kudos to be earned, but for those wanting a
quick street race, or a practice, it's ideal!

VMU

When you start the game, MSR will detect and ask you if you wish to use any VMU
you have connected. If you do not have a VMU inserted, you will be given the option to
insert one. You will need a VMU to save your progress in the game, to combine and
exchange data with others, or to upload and download data to and from the Internet.
The game will automatically save your single player
progress in the game, including your Kudos rating,
progress, garage, and best laps.
Ghost laps can be saved after a Time Attack, and
loaded via this menu too. Multiplayer games can be
saved via the Multiplayer menus.
Remember not to insert or remove a VMU while saving,
as this could damage the VMU or the saved data.

INTERNET

Select this option on the Home Menu to connect to the MSR website on the Internet.
Here, following the instructions on the site, you can upload your own data, and also
download data to your VMU, to compete against in the game.
