Career Mode
Everyone has to start somewhere. You'll start in the Pro circuit with a
limited selection of cars. From there, you'll have to race to prove yourself
and unlock new cars and tougher events.
Each event consists of several stages, but you don't need to win every
stage to win an event. Every time you fi nish a stage, you earn points.
You can also earn points through achieving a high top speed, excellent
lap time, and avoiding car damage. After each event, your points are
added to your overall total, bringing you closer to qualifying for a new
event class and unlocking new cars.
As you progress through the different race classes – Pro,
Expert, Classic, and Unlimited – you'll unlock groups of cars that
will help you stay competitive. Consistently superior racers will
be rewarded with special bonus cars (see page 18).
Note: In the Beginner diffi culty setting, you will be able to restart a
stage during an event. However, in Normal diffi culty, you must re-race
the entire event. In either diffi culty setting, retiring from a stage will move
you to the next stage or to the Event Results if you are retiring from
the event's fi nal stage.

Single Race Mode
Single Race Mode lets you compete simultaneously against three
computer-controlled opponents on any unlocked track.
Though these races will not contribute to your point total, you can
use Single Races to hone your skills against the computer, or to just get
in a quick race without entering a Career event.
To begin a Single Race, select Single Race from the Game menu.
