CORSE DRAG
We dedicate a separate section to drag racing because there are some details to consider that cannot be included in a summary description.
Engine burst
If you take too long to shift gears, the engine will start to overheat. If it gets too hot, it will explode and you will be disqualified from racing.
Clashes
If you crash into a wall or a traffic car you will be disqualified
Gears
During drag races there are many types of changes that you can make. Always keep an eye on the circle that appears on the screen.
Incorrect exchange
The circle is not present. It happens when you don't wait long enough to shift gears. It makes you lose speed.
Good exchange
The circle is blue and does not shine. This is the second best choice for making an exchange. You will not lose speed and the engine will not overheat.
Perfect change
The circle is green. This is a difficult change to make and, of course, is the best. It gains speed and the engine does not overheat.
High
The circle turns red. This happens when you are too slow to change. Speed is not lost but the engine overheats.
CORSE DRIFT
Same goes for Drag races: we dedicate a separate section to Drag races because there are some details to consider that cannot be included in a summary description.
Score multipliers
In the upper left corner of the screen you can see the score you need to score with a single drift to get a high multiplier. This value will grow as you progress through the game.
Section of the extra points
Normal operation
These races take place on small circuits. The sections that give extra points are the blue and white fringes on the sides of the road.
Downhill drift
In these races the sections that give extra points are:
The parts of the road not of asphalt,
The sidewalks,
The section near the traffic cars,
The shortcuts (which are however very long roads given the type of race).

BAYVIEW
Bayview is the city where the whole game takes place. It is divided into 5 parts which are unlocked as you progress through the game.
Heart of the city
The game will start in this place. Here you will find various interesting shops to upgrade your car.
Beacon Hill
This part of Bayview will unlock when you get your first contract with a sponsor.
Jackson heights
This part of Bayview will unlock after concluding the first contract with a sponsor. All downhill drift races take place here.
East coal mine
This part of Bayview will unlock after concluding the second contract with a sponsor.
West Coal Mine
This part of Bayview will unlock after concluding the third contract with a sponsor.
Here are the maps of the game. White dots indicate bank rewards, orange dots indicate SMS cheats, and others indicate hidden runs.
CAREER MODE
The main mode of the game. Here you will unlock cars, tracks and everything in between. Before leaving, go to the options menu and select the circuit you want. We also recommend disabling jump framing which will also look spectacular but cause more accidents than anything else. Set the difficulty according to your real skills as well as choose the type of gear you want to use (automatic or manual) taking into account how familiar you are with the game. Remember that sprint races require manual gearbox in any case.
When you arrive in Bayview (you are the same guy as the first NFSPU) you will be in a Nissan 350Z and you will receive the first SMS. You will soon receive messages indicating that there are new races available. Go to the airport looking for messages and make some money in Outrun races. Remember the general advice given for each type of race and become the best driver in town.
