(UFRA Special Events) These are special races offered by the UFRA. these races are much harder than the normal GP , it will most likly take many tries before you are able to complete them. Some of these races require cars you may not have or may require a upgrade, so you must complete some of the single player GP before taking the challenge. After wining these races you will be interviewed, And these interviews will be displayed (If you want them to) online. If so many races are complete,you will receive a medal. You get this once you beat 5/15/25 races you will also resive 200 FP once a race has been won, you can re race it as many times as you like but you will not resive the FP only the credits If *running* is present, then I have not completed this race, once races Are released it may take a week to complete all of them, but I will update Frequently so you can use the strategies. -Event Guide- Event: One Track: Mist Falls Type: Time Trial Car: Category 3 Notes: Beat in 3:31:00; race is very hard, you will need a advance car, or A super upgraded regular car. Cutting as much time as possible with multiple Tries, and refining your line is the only way to beat this race Event: Two Track: Airport Lap Type: Standard Race Car: Category 4 Notes: Moderately upgraded should do fine in this race, its fairly standard. And the Enemies do not put up much of a fight though they will use nitrous effectively on the straights , you should too ,there are many spots where you can gain back nitrous quickly if timed right. As well as save a X2 or X3 nitro, so you can guarantee a victory at the end. Event: Three Track: Downtown Rave City Type: Overtake 13 Car: Category 2 Notes: All cars use unlimited nitrous, X3,they will use nitrous all the time. Blocking enemies and letting them boost into you will keep them at bay, and use a SS booster to speed back up with the pack. You must maintain nitrous to keep up with the others, overcome the unlimited nitrous and you will win. Side note all cars are a weird blue Event: Four Track: Harborline 765 Type: Quad Battle Car: Category 2 Notes: enemy cars are advanced;it will be difficult to stay with the pack, One in the lead you must keep the lead, blocking and maintaining nitrous. it will be hard to slip past them for they huddle closely to each other Execute an X3 nitrous at the end to blow past the pack you will be facing a Meltfire(ADV), Esperanz(ADV), and a Raggio(ADV) Event: Five Track: Laketop Parkway Type: Duel Car: Category 4 Notes: Difficult, enemy( a Abeilla) is using extended nitrous,you will need a SS Booster to stay on his tail,and once you over pass him, you must block all His attempts to overtake you. Event: Six Track: Crossbay Tunnel Type: Standard Race Car: Category 3 Notes: A standard race, but enemies are very aggressive, it will be hard to Maintain a lead, the track has very narrow roads at some points so watch out and don￾ft hit the car in front of you. its useless to block in most places, just use nitrous to pull away. Event: Seven Track: Old Central Type: Duel Car: Category 2 Notes: Wild Gang only, a classic battle of beast vs. mouse. Wildgang is not As fast as the Hijack, but is easier to gain speed.You will find your Self zipping past corners and using nitrous often. You will not be able to pass him in the corners use nitrous to pass him in the straights. Then just block him or get way from him , so that he cant slip steam you. try and get past him on the first corner then block him for 3 laps, he can pass you at some points but keep him on a small leash so you can wiss by. Event: Eight Track: Lakeshore Drive Type: Overtake 13 Car: Category 3 Notes: All cars are using Flex nitrous, so they will be using nitro often And much at a time. You must have Nitrous B or another nitro your good with that can regain quickly. you will have to keep with them. Flex is not very powerful unless used a lot , so keep a steady stream of the stuff to keep behind the leader , while saving small amounts for the end. the end is important you must time it and have enough to blow past the leader , if not he will use his Flex nitrous in long stretches gaining to much speed to catch up. Event: Nine Track: Industrial Drive Type: Time Trial Car: Category 1 Notes: Beat in 3:03:00 ; this race was very difficult , i beat it with Pronzion. the key with this car is to maintain nitrous and always using it. It will auto supplies so there is no need to worry about nitrous just make sure you don￾ft use to much, and with this car you would lose speed during turns since it is a hover car. again with time trials you must keep at it, maximizing speed and refining your time. Event: Ten Track: Seaside Route 765 Type: Quad Battle Car: Category 1 *running* Event: Eleven Track: Downtown Rave City Type: Overtake 13 Car: Category 1 Notes: Pac-man car only. this race is not that hard. i think what is really hard is the act of getting the pac-man car. only think to watch out on this race is the fact that the pac-man car's handling , it is a hover car so handling is poor. Use nitrous cautionsly and you will be fine. Event: Twelve Track: Shadow Caves R (mirror) Type: Time Trial Car: Category 2 Notes: Beat in 2:38:00 your going to have to give everything you've got for this race. The key for this is to time your nitrous precisely. And you must do it at all the key points on all of the laps. The key points are, right before the jump after start ( do not do this on the first lap) , the start of the bridge a bluish color start , you'll come across a black line from a shadow hit it there , and inside the cave where the surface changes. Hit all of those points and you'll pass the race with seconds even milliseconds left. Event: Thirteen Track: Bayside Freeway Type: Overtake 13 Car: Category 3 Notes: No nitrous; first off this race will be very hard unless you have a ADV car. Try using the Starnose , it may be your best option. The key to this race is slipstreaming , since there are no turns. you must keep behind the enemy then performing the slingshot technique to break past them. also you can , if you perform it right , get a boost my nudging the tip of the front of a enemy to gain some slipstream, this is good for picking up some speed. just push tell you cant push no more , keep the car at top or more speed , then the leader will be in site and just wiss past him. Event: Fourteen Track: Island Circle Type: Time Trial Car: Category 2 Notes: Beat in 2:23:00 , Reverse charge only *running* Event: Fifteen Track: Highland Cliffs Type: Time Trial Car: Category 1 Notes: Beat in 3:13:00 Ultranova only *running* Event: Sixteen Track: Rave City Riverfront Type: Quad Battle Car: Category 1 Notes: You will be facing a Red Monstrous, Red Angelus, and a Red Crinale*running* Event: Seventeen Track: Surfside Resort Type: Overtake 13 Car: Category 4 Notes: Wild Gang & Dig Dug parts only. This race is very easy, and requires little skill. All you need to do is get all the dig dug parts and buy a wild gang. Aside from that you don￾ft really need to upgrade your car , it is very possible to win will little upgrades. For the race, just slip your way to the pack , then boost your way out of it . The enemies don￾ft put up much of a fight so they can be easily taken. In the end you will win and a easy 200 points! Event: eighteen Track: Aviator Loop Type: Time Trial Car: Category 1 Notes: Terrajin only *running* Event: Nineteen Track: Seaside Route 765 Type: Overtake 13 Car: Category 2 Notes: This race is standard. I used a ADV Meltfire and breezed through it. the track is tough though, that may be hard for some people. Watch out for the part in the middle near the sea, running into the walls there will hurt you greatly. (Decals) These are stickers that are placed on top of the car.
