History & Next Version [CD.01.01]
==============================================================================
Version 0.1 (02/24/06) - First version, everything is new. (42,6KB)
Version 1.0 (02/25/06) - Finished the Career Mode, added the Tracks section,
finished the Part section, finished the Cars section, finished the Mini
Games section... pretty much finished the guide ;) (60,4KB)
What I want to update in the next version(s):
* Missing rewards and unlockables updated (Amateurs A)
"Crashday puts you in the world of stunts, dents and adrenaline: whether you
prefer to smash your vehicle into pieces with breath-taking stunts or better
still compete with your enemies in highspeed races - maybe you also just want
to show your fellow man what a serious head-on collision can be like!?
Today there are no rules - it's crash day!"
The game can be best described as a mix of Destruction Derby, Flatout,
Trackmania and Stunts. Basically it's just a fun driving game. So why a guide?
Well I have a week off, might as well ;)

==============================================================================
Mini Games [CD.04.01]
==============================================================================
Long Jump - "Jump as far as you can!"
The key here is to use the nitro boost. Time it, so you are still boosting
when you fly off the ramp.
Vehicle Blast - "Hit the ramp before your car blows up and jump as far as you
can!"
When you start, use the boost straight away to gain some speed. Keep on the
left side of the road, and make sure you're boosting when you fly off the
ramp.
Checkpoint Chase - "Pass as many checkpoints as you can!"
Try to drive through as much checkpoints in a row without losing speed to
gain a high score here.
Long Jump II - "This mini game has to be unlocked in the career game!"
"Jump as far as you can!"
A bit of a longer run, but just boost and all that =p
(Unlocked by finishing the Amateurs Division)
Vehicle Blast II - "This mini game has to be unlocked in the career game!"
"Hit the ramp before your car blows up and jump as far as you can!"
This time the mini-game takes place in a tunnel. Pretty easy and all.
(Unlocked by finishing the Professional Division)
Checkpoint Chase II - "This mini game has to be unlocked in the career game!"
"Pass as many checkpoints as you can!"

Getting Started [CD.05.02]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Right One For the Job?
Event Type: Wrecking Match
Objective: Wreck 10 vehicles first!
Cash Reward: $6,000
Respect Reward: 20
Drivers: 3 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Judge
Description: "I still remember exactly how we started out back then.
Basically, it was all there: Cars, a workshop, garages, gas, ramps...
everything you needed to get into the racing business big... We just had one
problem; we needed some hot drivers. Drivers who were prepared to risk their
necks for us. So we did it the right way and organized a kind of qualifying
test. We wanted the best... and we weren't going to settle for the less."
Note: This one is just easy - very easy. Just wreck the opponents to view a
movie, and move on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amateurs Group A [CD.05.03]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stunts, Dents and Adrenaline
Event Type: Stunt Show
Objective: Achieve the driver's highest stunt score in 03'00 minutes!
Cash Reward: $6,500
Respect Reward: 5
Drivers: 2 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "Tony and his crew were responsible for the organisation of the
garage and building the stunt elements. The shop was just a front. In Tony's
shop, we got the money back that we'd paid out previously to the drivers as
prize money. Some of it, anyway. Then we put all the cash back into the
construction of new stunt elements. Big ramps, small ramps, loops, you name
it... like, we built a course for your up-and-coming talents that consisted
entirely of small ramps. That's where they gained their first experience in
the league."
Note: The opponents aren't even trying hard, so just stunt and score.
Mansfield Speedway
Event Type: Lap Race
Objective: Finish 2 race laps!
Cash Reward: $7,000
Respect Reward: 5
Drivers: 3 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "At first, the idea with the DVDs didn't go down too good with
the bosses at all. Too much publicity. It took a while for them to realize
that the sales of the videos indirectly affected the income from the betting
offices. The more videos we sold, the more the dimwits shovelled their money
into the betting offices. From there on in, we were on a roll. Man, we made
so much cash, it was like the whole world belonged to us. Remember Mansfield
Speedway? Even before the track was officially opened, we organized a race
there. People loved us for having ideas like that."
Note: Don't go crazy on the nitro here, since it's easy to get off-track
here. Especially during the off-road parts, I don't suggest boosting.
The Offroad Stage
Event Type: Point-to-Point Race
Objective: Reach the final checkpoint in less than 03'50 minutes!
Cash Reward: $7,500
Respect Reward: 5
Drivers: No Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "Flat Shoals was ideal for our purposes. Remote. Lonely. Not
much more than a wide place in the road, way out in the middle of nowhere. A
good place to solve problems. If anybody caused us trouble, Flat Shoals was
the solution. You just had to know what you are doing and give the farmers a
couple of bottles of spiked booze to make sure that they slept well. Pigs
don't ask questions about what they're being fed. But farmers do. And if
farmers ask questions, you can be sure that you're gonna have to spend the
whole damn night solving even more problems. Yeah, races were held in Flat
Shoals too, of course. Like... er... the Offroad-Stage race, for example."
Note: This is mainly an off-road track, and if you're going to follow the
main road, you'll fail big time. Just leave the road and drive between the
trees, smash away fences etc. Anything to save some seconds and reach the
checkpoint as fast as possible.
You Got Something I Need
Event Type: Wrecking Match
Objective: Wreck all vehicles!
Cash Reward: $9,000
Respect Reward: 5
Drivers: 2 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "With all that money, it was clear that sooner or later someone
was going to try to take a slice of the pie. You always have small losses,
especially where cash flows. Here and there people pocket a little on the
side - hey, what the heck? We took it into account, and nobody minded much.
But when bets were manipulated by people other than us, and drivers were
obviously being bribed, it was time to fire a warning shot. Pretty soon we
had two guys in our sights that'd had their fingers in the till just a
little too often. Then it was just a matter of finding a driver who'd teach
the two a lesson. Somebody trustworthy... and expendable."
Note: It's you against two others, with no weapons. Don't drive into them,
but let them follow you and bump into things. For example, when you start
and drive straight ahead, you'll be able to take a ramp and enter a pipe. If
you stay inside, they'll keep bumping into the area below and into each
other. Find more of these areas and survive.

Team Spirit
Event Type: Hold the Flag
Objective: Pick up the flag and drive it through 5 checkpoints faster than
the hostile team!
Cash Reward: $8,000
Respect Reward: 5
Drivers: 2 Teams
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "Hold the Flag was one of my favorite events. It was just a
matter of finding a big yellow Smiley face out in the field and taking it
through the checkpoints. When Tony turned up with the thing the first
time, we all wondered if he was going nuts. Just imagine it, you come to
work one morning and there's this big yellow thing standing out in the yard
and grinning at you. At the time we didn't have a lot of time to discuss it;
the bosses were breathing down our necks because of the lost betting income.
So we used it. Yeah, looking back, it was a good idea. That grin turned out
to be an unexpected gold mine, and we were back in the bosses' favor."
Note: Really easy one. Be sure to get the flag as first person, and it's hard
to lose the race.
Car Theft
Event Type: Point-to-Point Race
Objective: Reach the final checkpoint in less than 02'10 minutes!
Cash Reward: $8,300
Respect Reward: 5
Drivers: 3 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Bornbad GT90
Description: "We didn't have too much trouble with the cops. I only remember
one time I really got worried. Due to the business with the bribes, we still
had a couple of packages we needed to dispose of in Flat Shoals. Everything
was prepared and it looked like it was going to be just another routine run.
Man, you plan everything carefully, fill the tank, make a couple of
sandwiches for the journey - and then the cops tow you away because you
parked in a no-parking zone. And all because your wife forget to buy
tomatoes and you wanna be a good husband. Luckily, the cops towed the car
straight to the pound. Boy, if they'd opened the trunk, we'd have been
screwed. We had to get the car out of there as fast as possible. My face
was known all over town, so only one of the drivers really could be
considered for the job..."
Note: This car is a horror to control. To make matters worse, you need to
go off-road quite a lot. When you start, drive through the gate and go
straight off the road to cut a large part off. You'll end up in a small
town. Keep going straight, off the road again until you need to make a turn
to the right (after passing a checkpoint). You'll have to go straight ahead
and take another turn right. Boost onto the hill, and aim for the right. Get
on the right side of the highway and keep going. From there on it's all
pretty easy.
Knocked Out!
Event Type: Knock Out Race
Objective: Stay away from last position at the end of a lap or you'll be
knocked out!
Cash Reward: $9,500
Respect Reward: 5
Drivers: 5 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "So we thought we'd dealt with two of the black sheep, but
evidently we hadn't gotten the message across. There were still a couple of
no-goods out there who just didn't want to get it. The solution was a
Knock Out race. Nobody liked driving with a bomb in his car that exploded
if he was placed last in a lap. Especially if he had a skeleton in the
closet and knew that Tony's crew could rig his car or its protective
armor-player any time they liked. Drivers who hesitated made themselves
suspicious from the onset, and those who did take part could never be sure
how much we knew. We reckoned on the drivers getting nervous and making
mistakes."
Note: A pretty easy one again. When you (boost) of the ramp, just make sure
you're going straight and things will be fine.
Better Don't Stop Me
Event Type: Bomb Run
Objective: Keep moving and pass all checkpoints on the course!
Cash Reward: $11,000
Respect Reward: 5
Drivers: No Opponents
Race Vehicle: Ironhorze V8
Description: "Rules are rules, ok? Drivers who wanted to get into the
professional league had to complete a Bomb Run. Anyone whop was crazy
enough to take part had to drive a fully tanked IronHorze with a bomb
attacked to the roof. This bomb was equipped with a velocity fuse. If the
car fell below a minimum speed, it blew up. Easy as that. Believe me... wild
horses couldn't have got me in that car."
Note: This one is pretty nasty. Whatever you do, remember it's better to slow
down or even break, then to bump into something. Two notes here - first off,
you'll reach a checkpoint, with a small bridge you'll drive onto. Slow down
to not crash off, and let yourself bump into the bridge to make the turn.
When you reach the end, slow down again and bump into the bridge to make
the turn. There are two of these around. The second note - after you passed
the second bridge I mentioned above, you'll be on the highway again.
However, it's not finished, and it'll turn into grass. Be sure to slow down
when you touch the grass, or the car might get out of control, and you just
don't want that... When you finished the race, you'll move into the
professional league. Good job on that. And yes, sadly this means you
already passed 30% of the game.

Flying Like The Hawks
Event Type: Stunt Show
Objective: Reach 150,000 stunt points faster than the hostile team!
Cash Reward: $12,000
Respect Reward: 30
Drivers: 2 Teams
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "A single person is always easier to keep under control and put
under pressure than a motley crew of bums that can put their heads together
and get crazy ideas. That's why I'd rather have done without the teams
altogether. But on the other hand, it was the team races that tripled our
turnover. A lot of the fans began to identify with a particular team and
cheered for them at every meeting. Should I not have taken advantage of
that? You be the judge. The Hawks, for example, were a very popular stunt
team."
Note: Follow your team, and check out the score. If it's lower than the
hostile team, just start over. A good start is half the work. You'll be the
one scoring most of the points though.
Just Keepin' Cool
Event Type: Wrecking Match
Objective: Wreck 20 vehicles of the hostile team first!
Cash Reward: $13,000
Respect Reward: 30
Drivers: 2 Teams
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "They couldn't wait to throw their hard-earned money at us.
Crashday became the highlight of the week in these guys' humdrum everyday
life. But when we introduced the "Team Wrecking" event, everyone totally
flipped out. In Team Wrecking there was nothing, but nothing that couldn't
be turned into cash... Fan articles, videos, remote control Firespitters for
the kids... Even a dented fender could be sold for a couple of grand. It was
unbelievable."
Note: The thing is, when you're not around, no scores will be earned for
anyone. It's pretty pathetic, but true. Just get some armor for you car and
hope for the best. For some fun, drive away from the main area and note how
all the opponents are following you!
Suicide
Event Type: Bomb Run
Objective: Keep moving and pass all checkpoints on the course!
Cash Reward: $14,000
Respect Reward: 30
Drivers: 4 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "The enthusiasm of the people knew no bounds. Do you remember
the tunnel races? Barely room to manoeuvre, and five or six vehicles
simultaneously on a Bomb Run. Sheer suicide, if you ask me. In any case, for
every smashed tile in the tunnel walls, there was a story circulating on the
Internet. After a while, I used to drive down there myself for the hell of
it and smash a couple of tiles, just to add a little grist to the rumor
mill."
Note: Pretty easy, actually. You don't have to brake much, and you can get
ahead without a problem. The only problem you'll probably have is getting to
the last checkpoint. By then, you need to have a high speed, but you really
need to slow down in order to take the two final turns. Use nitro when you
are desperate.
Offroad Madness
Event Type: Stunt Show
Objective: Be the first driver to reach 120,000 stunt points!
Cash Reward: $20,000
Respect Reward: 30
Drivers: 4 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "The favorite event for a lot of drivers was Offroad Madness -
a stunt show in which the drivers could give everything and have a load of
fun. Yeah true, wrecking matches were more lucrative, but we had to keep
our boys happy. Who wants to sit in a car the whole time that's being shot
to pieces from all sides? Let's face it, only someone who has fun and enjoys
his job delivers top performance. And I believe if our drivers didn't have
any fun in the thing, we'd never have been able to make the Crashday league
as big it got..."
Note: Once again, a good start if half the work (literally). When taking the
first jump, aim on the left side. If you got enough speed, you can hit two
hills, which keep your combo going. Then you're able to hit another ramp
and when you are doing flying around, you can have a combo of 47,000+.
That's only 13,000 short of half of the score you need! However, try to keep
your score high, because the opponents won't hesitate to take the lead.

However, a kind of code of honor had spread in the drivers' camp that
prohibited the use of weaponry in a race. But of course, there was always
someone who had nothing against firing a missile up the exhaust pipe of the
driver in front of him. That held a certain appeal to me personally too,
because races like that sold better."
Note: This time you can shoot, which is pretty nice. When you shoot another
driver, he'll spin to the left or right, which is always helpful, right?
An easy race, but make sure you're entering the tunnel at the beginning.
What the Hell... the Police
Event Type: Wrecking Match
Objective: Wreck 20 vehicles to the hostile team first!
Cash Reward: $21,000
Respect Reward: 30
Drivers: 2 Teams
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "It started with a fight over a woman, and the bosses are
allergic to that kind of thing. They just did not like women getting between
the drivers. It was bad for business, period. I collared the two hotheads
and told them to settle the matter between themselves over at the old press
shop. Up until that point it was just a typical drivers' camp brawl, but
then out of the blue the cops turned up. It was just clear to me straight
away that we were heading for a heap of trouble if the bosses ever found out
about it."
Note: It's you versus three other cars. The two police cars are easy to get
rid off, but watch out for the 4x4 - it can wreck you pretty fast. My
strategy was to head up those paths that go up, into the building and shoot
them when they come up.
The Bomberman
Event Type: Pass the Bomb
Objective: Grab the bomb and pass it on just before it blows up!
Cash Reward: $24,000
Respect Reward: 30
Drivers: 5 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "Every now and then we'd do small favors for certain people.
Nothing too fancy. A couple of parties, women... Little things, just to make
sure they owed you one. There was this one guy, a big shot from the weapons
lobby who desperately wanted to do a couple of laps in an Incubator. The
deal with him was extremely important for us. We had no more explosives for
bomb construction and we needed supplies urgently for the opening of a new
arena. And what does this idiot do? Crashes in the first curve because he
couldn't handle the car. I thought: "Hell, what now?", but the guy climbed
out of the wreck grinning from ear to ear and signed the contract - he'd had
the time of his life. Now with that, nothing more stood in the way of the
"Pass the Bomb" event."
Note: Now this is great fun. When you start, already drive forward, and
then try to get the bomb. If you got the bomb, drive away from the crowd and
wait until the driver got to 10 seconds or less. Find an opponent and give
them the bomb. BOOM! 3 point. There are 8 rounds, so go for the 21 points ;)
Annoying Competitors
Event Type: Wrecking Match
Objective: Wreck 20 vehicles to the hostile team first!
Cash Reward: $27,000
Respect Reward: 30
Drivers: 2 Teams
Race Vehicle: Bornbad GT90
Description: "We had a real challenge on our hands to offer something special
for the qualification of the Finals, and I was determined to get the disused
container lot for it. I'd had an eye on the place for a long time because it
offered optimum conditions for a Wrecking Match. Unfortunately, I was not
the only one. There was an open tender, and a bunch of architects offices
were competing to be the ones to build a gigantic shopping mall on the lot.
But the guy who had the last word in the awarding of the contract was none
other than our respected mayor. That tub of lard was up to his neck in it
because he'd blown his whole fortune on horses and roulette. He didn't even
have the cash to pay the taxi fare to my office. In this akward situation,
I, of course, had a sympathetic ear for his problems..."
Note: This one isn't really hard. You got a minigun and missiles, so go
crazy. The best thing is to go left at the start, and stay around this area.
The opponents will have to come from the grassy area, or from behind some of
the storage boxes. If you won, you're going to enter the finals. Great job!

Mountain Circuit
Event Type: Lap Race
Objective: Finish 2 race laps!
Cash Reward: $30,000
Respect Reward: 150
Drivers: 3 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "We owe the creation of the Mountain Circuit to a couple of
crazy fans. Somehow those freaks managed to find out my number, and they
called me incessantly. They had this fantastic idea, blah, blah, blah,
blah... Anyway, they got on my nerves so much, in the end I sent Tony over
to deal with them. But instead of putting them through the mill, Tony came
back with some blueprints under his arm. They'd planned out the Mountain
Circuit down to the last details. Racing meets Crashday... That was the
basic concept. All that was left for us to do was to build the track."
Note: For this race, you probably want to buy a new car. Buy the most
expensive car, and use this for the race.
A Big Pile of Scrap
Event Type: Stunt Show
Objective: Achieve the driver's highest stun score in 03'00 minutes!
Cash Reward: $32,000
Respect Reward: 150
Drivers: 3 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "Big Pile of Scrap was a demonstration of our biggest and best
stunts. The track was just bombastic. We needed huge amounts of steel and
concrete for the construction of that arena. But meanwhile the elements had
gotten too big to build them in Tony's workshop exclusively. We had to get
several enterprises to build it all for us and to put it up. And that's
where I saw big problems. Using outside labour involved the risk of getting
busted. We had to make the transition from an illegal to a legal operation.
From that point on, it was essential for the Crashday league to become
reputable. On paper at least."
Note: This is the arena that they used in the demo, just in case you happen
to have played that. Getting high scores is quite easy. As you start, don't
follow the others. Instead, look for the big ramps that go a long way up.
They are standing two at a side. Boost when you drive onto it and you'll
fly high up in the sky. Spin your car by holding left or right, and see
the points come in. Then drive to the other side of the arena and repeat it
all until the time runs out.
Get Ready to Rumble
Event Type: Knock Out Race
Objective: Stay away from last position at the end of a lap or you'll be
knocked out!
Cash Reward: $36,000
Respect Reward: 150
Drivers: 4 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "The collaboration with the weapons and the construction lobbies
enabled us to build gigantic arenas. From then on, we were no longer
dependent on the hicks from the amateur league for knockout races. Problem
was, the whole operation was shaky because it was still being financed with
money from manipulated bets and what we managed to slip past the IRS. The
bosses would only agree to play along on something of that magnitude if
there was someone who'd serve as a scapegoat in a worst case scenario. None
of them wanted to spent his last years behind bars. We needed to find a
straw man, someone dumb enough to take the rap, just in case we were
busted."
Note: Nothing hard once again. The opponents somehow think it's needed to
stay on the track. You can easily cut corners to shave off seconds.
Beating - Anyone?
Event Type: Wrecking Match
Objective: Wreck 25 vehicles to the hostile team first!
Cash Reward: $40,000
Respect Reward: 150
Drivers: 2 Teams
Race Vehicle: The Wrecker
Description: "The Wrecker was three tons of steal which crushed everything
that came in its path. Four 18 inc off-road tires just waiting to tear up
the asphalt and mud. 413 HP lurked under the humpbacked hood, just waiting
to be let loose. Damn, the thing was ugly as sin, but if you wanted to leave
a wake of devastation behind you, the Wrecker was the first and best
choice."
Note: Just go crazy on the missiles.

Mine Battlefield
Event Type: Hold the Flag
Objective: Pick up the flag and drive it through 10 checkpoints faster than
the hostile team!
Cash Reward: $38,000
Respect Reward: 150
Drivers: 2 Teams
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "Frank Meyer. A classic example of the upwardly mobile career
man. He really believed he got his manager job because he thought he was
good. The real reason he got it was because we had him sign his name on
everything. A shipment of mines for the "Mine Battlefield"? No problem. He
signed. Missiles from Russia? He signed. Before, we'd had to cover ourselves
against all eventualities, now we had a guy who was officially responsible.
He was perfect. He didn't ask any dumb questions, and he took care of the
PR. What more could we have asked for?"
Note: Try to get the flag as first player and from that moment it's pretty
easy.
The Super Combo
Event Type: Stunt Show
Objective: Show off a single super stunt combo of 70,000 points!
Cash Reward: $40,000
Respect Reward: 150
Drivers: No Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "We knew that, if we gave Meyer the position of manager, there
was the danger that he might realize his real purpose as a scapegoat. So, we
had to keep him busy, you know, distract him. We sent him to presentations,
press conferences, let him open race circuits, make speeches, and we stuffed
him full of money, and you know? It worked. The more he saw his face in the
press and on TV, the happier he became. He was actually quite creative. The
"Super combo" was his baby."
Note: This may look hard, but it's not that hard, really. When you start,
take the left road, and head left again (so you don't go over the bridge).
Then boost onto the first hill and try to keep making jumps. You'll hit a
70,000+ combo in no-time. Just in case you can't pull it off, watch my
reply to get an idea of how I did it -

you installed the game - be sure to unpack it first using WinRAR. Don't mail
me for help)
Three Hills
Event Type: Pass the Bomb
Objective: Grab the bomb and pass it on just before it blows up!
Cash Reward: $42,000
Respect Reward: 150
Drivers: 5 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "The purchase of the old dump was the result of a privatization
agreement. The place hadn't paid its way and devoured enormous amounts of
taxpayers' money. The state was desperate to get rid of the dump, and the
bosses had two very influential building speculators on their payroll who
where in the lobby. They had instructions to procure money from guilds and
cooperatives which would then be donated through Meyer to the Crashday
league in a large-scale deal. And then, we used the money to buy the dump.
Of course, the garbage was a serious problem, so the first thing we did was
pour concrete over it, which formed its characteristic three hills. But
don't forget: The construction of this track gave the local economy a big
boost. We raised twelve million in investment capital. Who was going to make
things difficult for us?"
Note: Ah, great fun again. Try to get the bomb, and drive around till you
have about 15 seconds on the timer left. Then pass it on, and get away. An
easy way to get away is to boost when you go up, and you'll land outside the
arena. Who'll get you when you're there? Nobody.
Air Time
Event Type: Stunt Show
Objective: You've got 04'00 minutes to show off some extreme jumps. Jump for
at least 01'00 minutes in total!
Cash Reward: $50,000
Respect Reward: 150
Drivers: 3 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "Air Time was the last challenge before the Final Battle. Here,
only the best of the best survived. It was always a magnificent sight when
the cars flew through the air like birds. There always seemed to be a moment
of silence when a car reached the highest point... then it was dead quiet...
and then... slow at first and then faster... and faster and faster, the car
plunged down and ploughed into the ground..."
Note: Now this is great fun. Drive straight ahead and make jumps and jumps
and jumps and jumps and jumps. You can easily get a combo of over 100,000
here. Just keep jumping and you'll reach the objective (be in the air for
a minute) easily.

The Final Fight [CD.05.09]

The Final Fight
Event Type: Wrecking Match
Objective: Wreck 5 more vehicles than any opponent in less than 10'00
minutes!
Cash Reward: $600,000
Respect Reward: 0
Drivers: 1 Opponents
Race Vehicle: Free Choice
Description: "After all the troubles and tribulations, everything was ready
for the big finale. The champagne for the party was on ice, the invites had
gone out, the hottest women organized, and the little briefcase for the
bosses were just waiting to be filled with cash and delivered. Now all that
was left was the final battle. Two drivers in a one on once race, to decide
who was the best of the best."
Note: You're probably expecting something hard here, but it'll be easy as
pie (assuming pie is easy). Boost forward until you get the opponent on your
screen, shoot missiles his way, and turn around. He'll only have around 40%
of his health left. Finish it off with some more missiles, bullets or by
just hitting him. Get 5 wrecks more than the opponent, and you finished the
game. Good job! Watch the final movie and... replay some matches or just
play another game that lasts longer than 2 or 3 hours ;)

Q: Did you ever, in real life, crash?
A: Not with a car, no. I once bumped into someone though!
Q: My game crashes on me!
A: So did it on me. However, one thing that seemed to work is to tune the
settings down. Just go for lower details and all that, and see if it works.
It might just do the trick.
