UNLOCKS: Golden City Race Island Paradise Race If you're riding the walls while passing through, you'll wreck your ride.
At about the lowest elevation of the course, watch out for the red gate that opens to the rest of the course (pictured below). The narrow paths of the course are great for takedowns, though you'll have to watch out for your own. Immediately get in the right lanes to build boost, and avoid the oncoming traffic over the crest by staying in the center of the road. Luckily, you don't have to be in first until the end of the race-stay out of last place at the end of each lap, and you're fine to continue competing. Crash once and you'll want to restart the race immediately.įive short laps around the Dockside course will test your endurance. Again, you'll have to be just about perfect to finish the lap in under 1:13. Powerslide around most of the turns for extra boost, and you can even safely drive into oncoming traffic throughout the entire race. The rest of the course is pretty straight-forward.
As you go over the crest at the end of the tunnel, stay in the very center of the road-there's a rush of traffic that blasts by you on both sides. But when you get your powerslides right, this course just feels great.įirst of all, as soon as you've got control of your car, steer into the right lanes of traffic to build boost (that's the oncoming lane here in the Far East). You've only got 1:13 to complete a lap around the Dockside course, which means you've got to be just about perfect through every turn-no crashing, and no unnecessary slowing down around turns. This race can be an absolute blast, or a royal pain in the keister.
