any tips for the fiat 500 challenge? i can't do better than 4th there - it seems impossible to catch up with those lead cars. or is it just learning to follow the right lines on the track and gunning it through turns?


That's the hardest race of all. The first place car and I tied at the finish line, but I still got gold. Definitely make sure to fully upgrade the drivetrain/transmission. Just use a close transmission, don't need fully customizable. You will also want to use a sports suspension kit unless you know how to properly adjust a fully customizable kit.

Here are two of my cars. The Ferrari is my favorite car. It's a beast on any track.

Just got this game for x-mas and I love it. The graphics are unreal! What are some starter cars that you recommend? I started with a Nissan Familia and have been un-beatable in the lower level races. I see that some races require certain cars, like the Yaris. Is it advantageous to get those cars and complete the races? TIA

I always hated how if you play for example a mini Cooper race series and win then all, you get another mini Cooper after you just had to buy one to compete on the race. I wish they'd award you with a car for the next event. Jmo.

Most of the time, if you gold a circuit of races, you will be given a car that is needed for other circuits. For example, I golded three races in the Muscle Car circuit and was given a Buick '62 Special, which allowed me to win the Supercar Nostalgia circuit race.

I don't move on until I get gold and I'm on the very last test on the first license. You have to pass 15 cars on one lap. Ive come in 2nd at least 20 times. I watch the example on the game and it looks like the front cars are going slower than they do when I try.
