I will take E-Mails under the following conditions:
o Be Polite
o Ask intelligent questions
o Don't ask about parts of the walkthrough that aren't finished
o Have "Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2" in the subject
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 is really a great game. And I used to think the
PSX version was cool <_< Anyway, this game is nothing like it's original. The
original had only 8 cars and 1 bonus car. This game has over 45 cars! They're
not easy to get however. This has it all: Porsche (My favorite), Ferrari,
Lamborghini, Aston Martin and then you have your average Ford, Mercedes, etc.
The Hot Pursuit mode has been creatively been modeled. You have your average
cop cars chasing you, road blocks and spike strips, and a helicopter?!?!. The
helicopter is the hardest to shake off of you. First of all, it can acceler-
ate faster than you can believe and drops barrels packed with explosives at
you! Trying to dodge these can be a nightmare. Then you have a championship
and Ultimate Racer mode. Here you can beat each level to move on until the
finals. Beating each level earns you something. It could be unlocking another
tournament bracket, unlocking cars, or unlocking tracks. As you progress, you
will unlock more valuable cars (Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc.). That is
what's in this game. Onto the guide.

There are no AI opponents in this, just you and
your friend, except player 1 is the cop and
player 2 is the speeder. Basicly you just have
catch player 2 three times and arrest him in
the time limit, while player 2 has to complete
the set number of laps in the time limit while
avoiding being arrested. (Sent in by: Lazer

o Tips for pulling over cars:
Call for Spikes, Roadblocks, or Helicopters.
When you do call for them, conserve them, you only get three helicop-
ters and three of either spikes or roadblocks.
To pull them over, crash them off the road and get in front of them. In
some cases they will back up about 100 yards. If that happens, turn
around quickly and hit them head on. That should get them.
o Avoid going off of jumps. That how you waste your time. . .
o Right from the beginning I target the last car, and then call for a road
block, if it is positioned right on a small road, the spike strip will
hit all the cars, leaving an easy job to pick them up with maximum
points. (Sent in by: Dan Jacobson)

Players run from the cops just the same as sin-
gle player. The only difference is you have no
AI. If you play a knockout or lap knockout it
will shove in 2 AI players and have a 4 player
race, but it never puts any higher AI players
than that. (Sent in by: Lazer Lazer)

In this section, I will (hopefully) tell you where the cops are on each lap
(if possible), how to avoid each one, and tell you the important shortcuts
to take to lose the cops.
Since this is the first level in Ultimate Racer, it should not be that hard.
After making you first two turns, you will go up a long straightaway. On the
straightaway there will be a cop on either the right or left of you. When
you go past him, you should be going well over a hundred. He will give
chase. When you enter the tunnel, stay to the right as much as you can. Sim-
ply because if he gets on the left of you, you can ram him into the other
wall while still going pretty fast. If you're on the other side, you will
have a harder time trying to get past him. Most likely, he will give the
chase up once you get out of the tunnel if you're lucky.
The second cop should give chase soon after you get out of the tunnel. You
should still be going very fast so you won't have to worry about him. You
should have four stars by now. Once you go up the very big hill, look to
your right to see a dirt path. Take it and look to your left for when you
see the path turn. Go across the road and onto the other path. Follow this
until a little bridge. After going through the tunnel, you will bechased by
another cop, which makes two cops in total chasing you. You will continue
down this road until you see a shortcut to the right. Take it because you
will save time.
After going down the free way, you will make a little turn to the right.
Look to the right for a path. This is an excellent opportunity to lose the
cops. If they are far behind you, they will follow you by using their
boosts. Most likely they will lose control on this path. Just stay all the
way to the right and go until the main road. After awhile, you will go over
a bridge and will see a fork up ahead. I would say turn right and continue
down the road. Reason is because if you have cops on your tail, the traffic
can help you to get rid of them. When there's forks, take the right so you
can stay with the traffic. Soon, you'll be done with time to spare
(hopefully).
Event 2 - Opel Speedster Delivery
---------------------------------
Objective: Deliver an Opel Speedster in under 6:15:00
Reward: Events - 4 and 5
Cars - Opel Speedster NFS Edition
Tracks - (none)
Cars available: Opel Speedster
After making a turn and two slight ones, you will go up a hill. A cop will
be around here, but you'll be going going fast. After going through the S-
Curves, as the police call it, you will make a slight 180 degree turn. Then
to the right is a path. Take it to avoid wasting valuable time. Eventually
you will go down a curvy road with a straight road to the left (on your
radar). This is a favorite place for cops to set up roadblocks and spike
strips. To the left as your going down the curvy road is a path. Take it.
After coming out of the tunnel, you will see columns. To the right is a very
narrow path. Take it and most likely, cops will go beserk trying to get you
while aat the same time crashing into the columns. At about 58%, you will
make a right turn. Then a left. Look to your left to see a boardwalk. It
will be hard to control on this but you will manage (hopefully). At about
67.7%, look to your right to see a path in the trees. This will eliminate
trying to avoid any roadblocks that might be to the left of the path.
At about 74% complete, you will see a little town. You will see the main
road veer off to the left. Look straight and a bit to the right. You will
barely see a path made of cobblestone. The traction on this is similiar com-
pared to the boardwalk surface. Watch out for the barrels to the left as
your going through here as the will slow your speed down dramatically. At
91% complete, you will be going around a turn to the right. Look to your
right to see a little path that will ave police going beserk again.
0 to 15% into the race is pretty straight forward. Make the turns good,
avoid traffic, speed past cops, etc., etc. Now at 15% you will be going on
a straightaway. In the distanc is a fork that you will make a choice of
going one way or the other. I suggest going to the left and staying to the
left because you will be going faster on it. At about 25% complete, you will
see a sign telling you to make a _SHARP_ turn right. Don't be a fool, go
straight through it and into a secret path. When you have a split in the
path, take the right one. Go on this until it rejoins to the main road.
At about 43.5% complete, look to the right for a path. Take it and avoid the
structures. This is a good place to lose the cops. When coming back onto the
main road, immediately turn to the left onto another road. From my under-
standing, you can save about 10 seconds by using this path instead of the
others. At about 63% there will be a roadblock most of the time. If there
is, don't be fooled by the hill. Go either on the the right or on the left
of the hill to avoid the roadblock, if there is any.
At 78% complete, there will be a dirt path to the left. There is usually a
roadblock on the main road at about this place, so you can avoid it. At
89.8% complete, there will be another dirt path to the left. Take it to save
a few seconds. At 95.5% complete look to your left to see yet _another_ dirt
path. This will leave the police crying for backup to arrive. Shortly after
you will see yet _ANOTHER_ dirt path to the left a little ways down. Soon
your finished.
Cars available: Ford TS50, Mercedes Benz CL55 AMG, Opel Speedster
Take the Ford TS50 and you'll be up against the Ford, Mercedes, and the
Opel. In the first race, go past the columns acting like medians, and look
to your right for a path. After going through there, enter back onto the
main road. After going over a bridge you will turn to the left. Then you
will see a path to your right. Take it to the end and exit back onto the
main road. After turning very slightly to the right, you will see telephone
poles in the distance. To the left of them is another path. Take it until
the end and slow down. Then take a right turn into yet another path. Slow
down at the end of this and make a sharp right hand turn onto the main road.
After awhile you will see signs telling you to turn right. Go through them
instead and you'll be on a secret dirt path. This is an _excellent_ place to
lose cops. Follow the path all the way down and go off the jump at the end.
You will get huge air and be back onto the main road. Don't bother going
towards the right after you jump because you'll just waste time. At the end
where all you have to do is make a 180 degree turn, cut as close as you can
to the wall to avoid wasting time. Repeat for the second lap.
If you don't know the controls after the screen shows them, refer to my
Controls section. Anyway it's real simple. If you get too far behind, press
R3. When you get up to one, you can try to push them off the road and slow
them down until they're caught. If they're too fast for you, you may call a
roadblock or spike strips. If they avoid those, call in the helicopter. He
will drop barrels to slow the car down. Once you get them all, you'll get
your prize.
This is a tuogh race. Because most of the streets are narrow, it's hard to
shake the cops off your tail. You usually spin out because they try to block
you. Then the helicopter with it's barrels. . .they're hard to avoid. I got
busted once and a guy got arrested. The other two got busted twice. I guess
that's why I won.
This is actually easier than it seems. Because there's barely any side to
the road, this is where spikes come in handy. Press R2 (or Triangle + R2 if
manual) and wait for the strip. I got lucky and got all three at a time!
Once their tires are out, just ram them until they stop.
Event 14 - V12 Vanquish Point-to-Point Series
---------------------------------------------
Objective: Come first in points at the end of the tournament
Reward: Events - 20 and 21
Cars - (none)
Tracks - Autumn Crossing II
Cars available: Aston Martin V12 Vanquish
These five poit-to-point races are hard. If you come in first on the first
three, you don't need to worry about winning on the last two which are
extremely hard.
Event 16 - Ferrari 550 Alpine Challenge
---------------------------------------
Objective: Complete four laps and come in first
Reward: Events - 24
Cars - (none)
Tracks - (none)
Cars available: Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pirinfarina
This isn't that tough. I saw no helicopter during my whole race, so I assume
you won't either. The police won't chase you right before the finish on the
fourth lap.
Cars available: Ferrari 360 Modena Challenge Version
This is a point-to-point race. . .with cops :-( Anyway, it took me two tries
and on the second one, I had over a minute left (That includes a bust). It's
really easy, so try your best.
This is EXTREMELY easy. All you have to do is put your sirens on, call for
spike strip, and get the cars once they go over it. Seriously, this was the
easiest so far in Ultimate Racer!
This is a bit difficult at first, but you'll eventually get it. There is
something you MUST do to pass this test. There is a massive shortcut that
will save you about 10 seconds. Right from the start, turn left and follow
that road. You will save valuable time that way.
Cars available: Porsche 911 Turbo, Porsche Carrera GT Concept Version
This is one hard race. It took me awhile to do it and after I did I saved
the game :P Anyway, the cops are being total ******* in this event. The
corvettes like to get ahead of you and slam you into the wall while your
competition speeds away. I had it happen that I was in the lead just before
the last lap, then I somehow ended up being 30 seconds behind the leader
when I finished. Anyway, good luck on this event.
Event 23 - Porsche vs Ferrari Showdown
--------------------------------------
Objective: Come in first after 4 laps
Reward: Events - 28
Cars - (none)
Tracks - (none)
Cars available: Ferrari F50, Porsche 911 Turbo, Porsche Carrera GT Concept
Version
I picked my lovely Porsche 911 Turbo simply because I love Porsches. This is
my favorite course! , so I'll do horrible here. Anyway, once you
win, you get your prize.
Very easy event. I had over 30 seconds remaining. One shortcut to keep in
mind is where all the rocks are dividing the four lane highway, go to the
left after that, then go in the opening and into the other opening. This
will save you a bunch of time.
This is easy. Italways seems that when I race with McLarens, it's always so
easy. I don't know why, but it just is. I ended up just fooling around on
the last three levels because I was bored :P
This is easy. Italways seems that when I race with McLarens, it's always so
easy. I don't know why, but it just is. I ended up just fooling around on
the last three levels because I was bored :P
This will be easy. Despite there being McLarens, they are extremely easy. If
you read my descriptions from above, you should know that I beat them
easily. There is one shortcut that you should go through during the race. It
is hard to tell you where, but there's a place where one road goes it's
normal route and the other diverts off to the left. If you're on the right
road, you should be on wood and have little turning capabilities. Don't
worry, this will knock a second off your final lap time.
Event 31 - Ferrari 550 Endurance Race
-------------------------------------
Objective: Complete 3 laps at Ancient Ruins
Reward: Events - 32
Cars - (none)
Tracks - (none)
Cars available: Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarin
Very difficult. Mainly because the Mustang Pursuit car is fast and the
Ferrari is slow. They do everything to slow you down and then it's too late
to win. I won on luck when the guy in first place was like 10 seconds ahead
of me on my last lap, he went over the spikes set up for me and got busted.
I won. Good luck!
This race isn't that difficult. The opponent will likely get busted alot. I
was lucky and won the race when he got arrested :) Anyway, for the last
event, this wasn't too challenging, but still worth it!

Event 1 - National Forest Challenge
-----------------------------------
Objective: Place 2nd or better.
Reward: Events - 2 and 3
Cars - (none)
Tracks - National Forest
Cars available: Ford TS50, Lotus Elise, Mercedes Benz CL55 AMG, Opel Speed-
ster, Vauxhaul VX220
This race should be easy. You'll be racing against 4 opponents. Here's a tip
to start off good: When the start is ticking down, don't hold the gas. In-
stead, wait for 1, then put the pedal to the metal. You will get points for
every person you pass (Just the first time). For the first lap, just follow
behind the lead guy. Look at where he brakes and turns. Then on the second
and third lap, just fly through the course. In no time you'll be finished.
This might be a bit difficult because of the traffic. When you're going over
a hundred, be careful because a car could hit you in a second, ruining your
time. Actually this is easy. If you don't succeed your first time, see if
you remember where any shortcuts were. They could help by cutting a second
or two off your final time. Race conservatively and you do just fine.
Event 3 - Ford TS50 Lap Knockout
--------------------------------
Objective: Win the race by not being the last person to cross the
finish line each lap.
Reward: Events - 6,7, and 8
Cars - Fors TS50
Tracks - (none)
Cars available: Ford TS50
All you have to do is be in front of someone at the end of each lap. As soon
as the guy in last place crosses the finish line he will be eliminated. Race
to the finish. When you win, you'll get your rewards.
Reward: Events - 9 and 10
Cars - (none)
Tracks - Coastal Parklands II
Cars available: Lotus Elise
This race should be easy. You'll be racing against 4 opponents. For the
first lap, just follow behind the lead guy. Look at where he brakes and
turns. Then on the second and third lap, just fly through the course. In no
time you'll be finished.
Reward: Events - 11 and 12
Cars - (none)
Tracks - Scenic Drive II
Cars available: Jaguar XKR Coupe
This race can be difficult for beginners. The handling on the Jaguar is hard
to cope with. You tend to slide when going at high speeds. Just learn to
handle it and you'll do fine in the race.
This can be hard because of all the traffic. Just remember some shortcuts
from when you previously raced this course before, especially the one by the
tunnel.
Cars available: Aston Martin V12 Vanquish, Mustang SVT Cobra R
This race is hard. I would suggest picking the Aston Martin. Even though I
did it with the Ford, it was extremely difficult. Just make sure you don't
place last in each race and you'll win the event and unlock Events 18 and
19.
This race will be fun! Now you get to drive a Lamborghini! But concentrate
on winning rather than on the car. Once three laps are completed and you
come in first place, you win the Lamborghini Murcielago!
Cars available: Dodge Viper GTS, Porsche Carrera GT Concept Version
You should know by now that I LOVE Porsches. So that's what I'm picking.
Anyway once you pick your car, just make sure your not in last place after
each lap. Once you unlock Event 28, you could beat that then beat Event 30!
But for now we're going in order. . .
Cars available: Ferrari F50, Lamborghini Diablo 6.0, Lamborghini Murcielago
This will be an interesting race :-) I would pick the Murcielago. This will
be a tough race. Remember the race earlier with all the Lamborghinis? Well
that was hard, now think of this. Three times the pressure on you this time.
Not to mention this is one of my worst courses I race on :-( Just try your
best and have faith in yourself :-)
Event 24 - Porsche Autumn Time Trial
------------------------------------
Objective: Complete a lap around Fall Winds II in under 3:30:00
Reward: Events - 28
Cars - (none)
Tracks - Fall Wind II
Cars available: Porsche Carrera GT Concept Version
Complete a lap in under 3:30:00 at Fall Wind II. You only have 5 laps to ac-
complish this. Once you do, you will unlock track 28 which can then be raced
to unlock the final race. Just concentrate on finishing this in under the
time limit without hitting any cars roaming around :-)
Finally, an event I can enjoy with competition! This event is going to be
amazing. I would pick the Porsche 911 Turbo, because Porsche are my favorite
cars :). Note that these races are Point-To-Point which means no laps.
These races actually easier than the previous event. You will be racing
against supercars which go 0-60 in 3.2 secs! Even though you would expect
this to be hard, it's reall actually average. Come first in points and you
win (duh!).
This has to be one of the HARDEST events of all. Seriously, it took me about
an hour and a half to complete it. Anyway, use all the shortcuts you know
and hang on for the ride of your life!
Event 30 - McLaren F1 LM Endurance Race
---------------------------------------
Objective: Complete ten laps and come in first
Reward: Events - 31
Cars - (none)
Tracks - (none)
Cars available: McLaren Cars Limited: McLaren F1 LM
I found this easy. Just use all the shortcuts you know. A really good short-
cut is to the left of the start. You could save about 5 seconds going this
way. Once you win, you unlock a secret event!

----------------------------------------------------------
o Tips for clean race/lap, lead all laps, or win a challenge race:
1) Use the following setup options: Opponent Type: Same, Catch Up: Off,
Traffic: Off.
2) Select other options/race type as needed to unlock car.
3) Select a slower car. (I use the Lotus Elise.)
4) Select an easy track that you are very familiar with. (I use the
National Forest with every shortcut except through the water next to
the bridge.)
If you use the information above, for example, you should only have to
slow down next to the lumber mill and just before the bridge after the
last turn. (Sent in by: Michael Blank)
This section will tell you various information about each car in the game.
The Top Speed, 0-60, and Power for the cars is for people who are interested
in the car's stats and don't have two controllers to find this out.
Unlocked : Lead all laps (Single race, one player, 4 laps, world racing,
full grid, advanced)
Top Speed : 135+ MPH
0 - 60 MPH : 5.6 secs
Power : 145+ BHP
Unlocked : Lead all Laps (Single race, one player, 8 laps, world racing,
full grid, advanced)
Top Speed : 202+ MPH
0 - 60 MPH : 3.7 secs
Power : 513+ BHP
You know when you get NFS points? Well, when you get enough, you unlock
secret cars. This is the list that tells you how many points you need for
the cars. If you know any additional ones or if I make a mistake, please E-
Mail me (address found at top of document). Also, don't cheat :P I heard
about that cheat that you press L2 or R2 at the finish line and if you time
it right, you will get 175,00 NFS points or 300,000 some. But play it the
right way : )
I will tell you the track's length, elevation, and diffculty. As well as how
it is unlocked. Please E-Mail me if I messed up on a few tracks. I finished
the game and I'm not sure how all of them are unlocked.
Shortcuts : o At the second turn you will be given the option of going one
of two ways. Go to the left, simply because you will be going
faster.
o After turning left go to the right, unless you are going so
fast that you can't stop in time to make the turn. In that
case, go to the left.
o Right before the tunnel you can go two ways. For intermed-
iates and beginners, go right. For experts that want to cut
off a few seconds, go left. After going on the dirt road, you
will see a fork in the road. I would take the left to cut
even more seconds off. After going left, you will barely see
a right hand turn, but go through it. After you go under a
bridge, you will see another fork. Take the left in your in
for a challenge. You will go across a river, creek, brook, or
whatever and see a pipe. Bear to the left slightly so you
don't hit it.
Shortcuts : o From the start, bear right and head for the tree with a path
cut into it. Follow this path straight and you will reach the
main road. Instead of going on the road, jump right across it
and back onto the dirt road. You will eventually reach the
main road.
o After reaching the "freeway", you will have a choice of going
left or right. Go to the left to cut off approximately three
seconds.
o After going under the bridge after the freeway, go left onto
the dirt road.
o At the final turn, stay to the right and go past the bridge
and go inbetween the tree and wall. Then go through the sign
for national park if you want some fun.
Shortcuts : o After going through the tunnel, you will see a big hill going
up. For fast cars, as soon as you land, veer right to just
make the turn to the dirt road. Then make a right on the dirt
road to cross the main road and back onto the dirt road. Make
sure you are stable enough to make it through the tree. If
you want fun, go through the sign :)
o After going off the dirt path, you will go downhill. Look for
a dirt road to the right.
o After the dirt road, go through the tunnel and at the end of
the road, go to the right.
o Right before the yellow, flashing signs you will see a dirt
path to the right. Take it. Follow it down and go through the
pipe. You will go across a stream. Follow the path up and
under a bridge. Right after that, you'll see a path to the
left. After that, the dirt road goes to the main road.
o After coming out of the dirt road and after going across the
bridge, you will see a choice between two roads. Take the
left on because you will be going faster.
o Before the lighthouse you will see a fork. Take the left one
unless you are going so fast that you can't make the turn. In
that case, take the right.
Shortcuts : o After going past the rocks posing as a median, you should see
a fork. Take the right to shave off a few seconds.
o After going over a bridge with steel structures, you will
make a sharp turn to the left. After that you will see a dirt
path to your right. Take it. Right before it connects to the
main road, you will see another dirt road to the right. Take
it too. Take this exit slow and veer to the right when
exiting the dirt road. You will be on yet another dirt road.
You go off of a little jump at the end. You should see tele-
phone poles to your right. The ones on the ground is where
the next path is. Take it to cut a a few seconds. At the end
there will be a jump. Take it slow and veer to the right onto
the main road. Don't worry about the dirt road, it's useless.
o This is hard to explain but... Eventually you will see yellow
signs to the left telling you to turn right. Go right through
them and you'll be on a dirt road. Follow this road to the
end for a big, big jump.
o After the jump, go down the road. You will see an entrance to
the right. Don't go into it though becaue it'll just slow you
down.
o At the final "U"-Turn, you will be able to take a path on the
other side of the waterfall. Don't, just cut the U-Turn as
close as possible without hitting catuses(sp?).
Shortcuts : o You will see a building at the start. To the left of it is a
path. Go into it. You will go through a toll booth and into a
building. After coming out of the building you will see an
airplane up ahead. Go through it and off of the jump.
o After going off the jump you will curve to the right. You
will eventually see a path to the left. Take it. You will go
across a stream and back onto the main road.
o Inside the tunnel there will be a sign telling you not to en-
ter. Bust through it to reveal a mine shaft. Go through it
and be cautious if you have a fast car because there's a jump
that will send you flying into the mountain. Eventuall you
will see the main road, but go straight into the tunnel. You
will come out onto the main road.
o After the rocks posing as medians, there will be a very sharp
left turn (you will see it on your radar). Cut that as much
as you can without hitting the wall to your left. You can
easily shave about 5 seconds off here.
o When you enter the duststorm, look to your left. Right after
it passes, there will be a path to your left. Right before
you exit it, turn sharply to the left to go on another path.
Don't turn left when you exit because you will lose time.
Shortcuts : o Right behind the yellow signs telling you to turn left, there
is a dirt path to the right. You will go back onto the main
road.
o You will see the yellow signs again telling you to turn left.
Go to the right and onto a dirt path to avoid the sharp right
turn down the road.
o After you exit the last shortcut that I mentioned, turn right
and go inbetween the signs. Follow this dirt road all the way
down and make a sharp right to avoid the sharp turn around
down the road.
o Right after the rocks posing as medians, look to your left.
You will just barely see an opening. Go through it, across
the main road, and into the next mine shaft. You will eventu-
ally end up in a tunnel (the main road).
o After you exit the tunnel, you might be going too fast to no-
tice but, there will be a sign telling you to go 35 MPH
around the turn. Right past this is a path. Take it to avoid
going uphill and losing speed.
o Right after coming out of the last shortcut, you will see a
turn. Right after that, there will be a path to the left.
Shortcuts : o After going around the first turn, you will see a path to the
left.
o When you come out of the first tunnel, you will go down
several jumps goind downhill. There will be a U-Turn and to
the left is a path where you can shave off a few seconds.
o After the last shortcut, you will go up a few hills. Eventu-
ally you will see red maple trees (I guess) and to the left
is a path.
o Farther along the track you will see houses in the distance.
Keep an eye for a red sign that says "50". Directly to the
right of it is a major shortcut. You have to be careful on
this surface because it's easy to wipe out.
Shortcuts : o To the right of the third blue and white arrows telling you
to turn right. You will have to be cautious to not hit any-
thing.
o After the fifth blue arrows telling you where to go, you will
make a turn. Afte you make it you will see an opening to the
left. Be careful not to slide or wipe out.
o After the sixth blue arrows telling you where to go, you will
go down a road. You will then stumble upon trees in an area.
There is a shortcut in here.
o You will reach a "town" eventually. When you do, look ahead
to see a fork when approaching. Take the right and hang on
for a slippery ride! Eventually you will be out. Don't bother
taking the right when coming out, it's not worth it. Just go
on the road to the finish.
Shortcuts : o A bit far down the track you will see red maple trees. To the
right is just barely a shortcut.
o After going through a "mini-tunnel" after the last shortcut,
to the right a bit down you will see an opening in small
mountain. Go in it to avoid the turn.
o After going through the first "real tunnel", you will see
columns. To the right is a _small_ little dirt path. Take it
to avoid the annoying turn.
o You will go under a msin bridge and see blue arrows telling
you to turn right. You will make a right hand turn, then a
left hand turn. Right after that left hand turn, you will see
a path to the left. You will slide alot when on it, so be
careful!
o After coming out of the last shortcut, you will see large,
yellow, blinking lights. After a few windy turns, you will
see trees. In the middle of them is a path.
o Eventually you will see a town in the distance. You will see
the main road curve to the left. Your path is straight ahead
of you. Since it's cobblestone, you will have to be extra
careful when on it. Mainly because there are places you can
hit that can stop you _completely_.
o After you get some air going off of a bridge, you will turn
left. Then you will see arrows telling you to turn right. The
next shortcut is all the way to the right around this turn.
It will be hard to make going fast, so look out for it.
Shortcuts : o After going through the first tunnel, there will be a slight
turn to the right. Right after that, there will be a path to
the right. Take it. At first it may seem like it's taking you
away from the track and a waste of time. But it's really cut-
ting alot of time off if driven properly without hitting any-
thing.
o After coming out of that, you will turn to the right alot.
Then you will make your way downhill a bit. Look to your left
for a big boulder. You will have to make your way around
this. Once you do, you will be inside a mountain. The surface
you are on is planks of wood, so you're not going to have a-
lot of traction. When you make it out of the mountain, you e-
ventually end up back on the main road.
o After copming out, you will eventually see a sign saying
"HALE'S GULLEY NATIONAL MONUMENT". Behind this to the right
is a little shortcut. A fun thing is going off of the stair-
way going up. You could get about 400 NFS points for going
off of it.
Shortcuts : o This is the best shortcut in the _WHOLE_ game. When you start
off, go on the main road until you see a dirt path. Follow it
past a house. You will then see the main road again. Instead
of going on the main road, go straight. You will be on anoth-
er dirt road. When you reach the end, go again on the dirt
road ahead! This is the end of this MAJOR shortcut. You could
cut of 15 seconds with this!
o This is hard to explain. You will eventually see alot of
trees to your left. Then the barrier disappears and you could
turn left tocut the main road. When you do, you will be on a
dirt road. On average, you could cut off about 3 seconds.
o After the S-Curves, you will see yellow signs. To the right a
bit down, is a shortcut which cuts the main road that turns.
o After the 270 degree turn, you will turn three more times be-
fore going straight into the next shortcut. This saves about
3 seconds also.
Shortcuts : o This is also hard to explain. There will be a certain U-Turn
where you can take the inside to the left. I can't really say
where it is because there aren't that many landmarks around.
o After the last shortcut, a short way down the road to the
left is a dirt path in which you can enter. It's hard to see
so take the turn cautiously.
o After coming out of the last shortcut, make your first "real"
turn. After that, look to your left for a shortcut.
o You will eventually go through a tunnel. After that, you will
go on a dirt road and rejoin to the main road. When you do,
you will make a U-Turn. After that, look to your left and you
will see that the barrier will disappear. When it does, take
the dirt road and follow it.
o After the S-Curves, you will make a squigly turn :) Then look
to your right to yur right and you'll see a dirt road. It'll
eliminate the curved road to the left.
o After that, you will make a 270 degree turn. Then follow that
road a few more turns then go straight to find yet another
shortcut. This will eliminate a long turn.
Shortcuts : o After going through the miniture S-Curves in the beginning,
you will turn left. Go a little up the road and you'll see a
fork. Turn right because there's more room for speed and less
turns than the other one.
o After passing the village, you will make a wide 180 degree
turn. Look to your right and you'll see a road blocked off.
Go through the barriers for a shortcut.
o Eventually you will be on a mini highway. You will see a left
and right ahead. Take the right for a shortcut that's down
the road a bit.
o On the fourth turn you will see a path to the right, take it.
You will desend quickly down to a beach. The only thing
you'll have to look out for is the trees in the middle of
your path. Just go around them.
Shortcuts : o Go down and you'll see a road to the left. TAKE IT. This is
probably the second best shortcut in the game. You can cut so
much time off by taking this.
o When you come out of the last shortcut, don't turn right onto
the highway. Instead go around it to the left and you'll see
a...I don't know. Anyway, you have to make sure not to hit
the structure, and since you're on the inside, you will cut
time off.
o Once you see the first set of "huts", look right in front of
them for a shortcut.
o Once you see the third pair, look right before them for a
shortcut.
o Once entering the S-Curves, look to the right for a little
shortcut.
o After the striaghtaway in the middle of the S-Curves, make a
few turns and look to your right to see a shortcut.
This section will hopefully clear up most of the E-Mails I get for various
questions.
Q.) What is a Clean Race?
A.) A Clean Race is when you complete a race without hitting any big objects
in your way. These include cars, walls, and big bushes. These do not in-
clude small bushes and small signs.
Q.) I completed all of Ultimate Racer and I can't get Event 32 to open! How
do you?
A.) You have to complete every event in World Racing and Ultimate Racer to
unlock it.
I hope this guide helped you (so far. . .). If you have any questions,
comments, or corrections E-Mail me right away.
