There are several different race types in Need For Speed: ProStreet. It's not
your normal linear racing game that features a series of races and also has the
occasional drag race thrown in. Each race type will be listed in this section
with a brief description describing what you will find in each type of race.
Let's start off quickly going through the difficulties that you select when you
start the game. You can change these at any time by going into the options and
changing them manually.
________________________________________
Difficulty
________________________________________
CASUAL    The Casual difficulty setting is basically just easy mode. The game
will brake for you most of the time and show a line that you should
follow. If you don't drive the line, it won't brake properly for you
so you might have to let go of the accelerator or even brake around
sharper turns.
RACER     The Racer difficulty setting is basically normal or medium
difficulty. It helps you brake around more difficult corners such as
hair pin turns and tight S turns. Other than that, you will have to
brake yourself to make it around each turn successfully.
KING      The King difficulty setting is basically hard difficulty. The game
won't do anything for you like brake so you will have to brake
yourself and just simply be a good driver. This difficulty should
only be played by experienced driving gamers.
________________________________________
Grip
________________________________________
GRIP RACE          Grip races are just your normal races. Check out the Driving
Strategies section to learn how to race as best as possible.
You just have to do however many laps the track requires you
to do and simply win the race.
SECTOR SHOOTOUT    The Sector Shootout is interesting, you have to have the
quickest time in each sector of the track. Winning the race
doesn't matter, you just need the highest score which means
having the fastest times throughout each individual sector.
I recommend saving nitrous for your slowest section for the
last lap.
TIME ATTACK        Time Attack only requires you to have the fastest lap
possible. You don't have to win the race, just have a really
good lap time. Save all of your nitrous boosts for the same
lap that you think will be your best, don't do it on your
first. If you spin out on the first lap right before the
finish line if there's more than two laps, drive backwards a
bit to regain speed so you can give your second lap a better
time so you won't have to focus so much on your final lap.
________________________________________
Drag
________________________________________
DRAGE RACE         You start off warming your tires up by doing a burnout. You
have to hit the gas so your RPMs is around the yellow area
on the gauge on the bottom of the screen. Try to keep it in
there for as long as possible. If there are lights at the
start of the drag strip, look at it to get the perfect
start. Shift when the RPM meter is in the green area for the
perfect shift and save your nitrous for when the RPMs are
low, usually on one of the higher gears.
WHEELIE            Your car has to have some good upgrades to start Wheelies.
COMPETITION        Most of them should be level 3 upgrades. You need a perfect
start and shifting proplery.
________________________________________
Drift
________________________________________
DRIFT RACE         The drift competition requires a rear wheel drive. You have
to tap the E-Brake and start to turn to slide, then turn the
other way to counter steer the turn. You get bonus points
for drifting at a high speed, with the nitrous on, staying
on the track, and drifting for a long time.
________________________________________
Speed
________________________________________
SPEED CHALLENGE    Speed challenges are a race where you just need a really
fast car. You can make most of the turns quickly but be
careful because crashing at this speed will total your car.
TOP SPEED RUN      Top Speed Run is the same thing as speed challenge except
at the checkpoints, your top speed will be recorded and they
will add up for a total score. At the end of the race your
score will be added up and whoever has the highest one will
win.

Racing The Line
________________________________________
Need For Speed: ProStreet took a different approach to racing compared to their
previous installments of the series. ProStreet was their first attempt at
making a simulation game in the hit arcade series. If you are expecting an
arcade game, look elsewhere. Anyways, racing the line is racing the fastest and
short part of any turn. There are many different paths for each turn. You may
wonder what that means since you can only be on the road for most turns.
However, there are many different lines you can take.
The different paths you can take is enterring the turn at either the outside,
middle, or inside of the track. The same goes for exitting. However, only one
of the lines are faster than any other line you can take through a turn. Start
off on the far outside side of the track enterring a turn, the outside would be
the opposite of the turn. Start to turn a little early so in the middle of the
turn, you will be on the inside of the track. If you go through the turn as
fast as possible, you will end up back on the outside of the turn. This allows
you to make the widest turn possible which allows you to drive as quickly as
possible.
________________________________________
Corner Exit Speed
________________________________________
Corner exit speed could be just what helps you pass other racers on the
straightaways. It's all about traction, you see when you coast around a turn,
your tires are giving 100% of its traction for turning. This allows for the
best turning possible. If you hit the brakes, it will split traction between
turning and braking. It depends on your car and the track for each turn, but if
you brake a little harder and enter a turn more slowly, you can start to
accelerate quicker as you exit the turn. This will allow you to reach higher
RPMs which will help you simply reach a higher top speed. It could just be the
difference you need to pass other cars.
________________________________________
S Turns
________________________________________
S Turns are a little more complicated than the average turn. You have to enter
the first part of the turn normally. Make the turn a little sharper so in the
middle of the S turn, you should be around the middle of the track. Then you
should go through the second turn by driving the line as usual.
________________________________________
Braking
________________________________________
If you are racing any difficulty higher than casual, you will have to brake for
most turns. Try to brake before you enter the turn to have as much traction
throughout the turn as possible. On sharper turns, you will see brake
indicators on the side of the track, they look like signs with flashing lights
on them. It depends on your car and brakes on where you should start braking
but since you will most likely race the same car in career mode for a while,
you will probably get used to it fairly quickly.
________________________________________
Drafting
________________________________________
Drafting can play a pretty major role in passing other cars. Drafting will
reduce the drag on your car by closely following the car ahead of you. As you
get closer to the other car, the wind will go over the car in front of you and
straight over yours. When you go out of the draft line by turning to the side
of the car, you will slingshot ahead of the car you were just drafting off of.
________________________________________
Shortcuts
________________________________________
There aren't any legitimate shortcuts in ProStreet like there were in previous
installments in the Need for Speed series. However, in tight areas that has
grass or dirt around it, you can cut through it. It isn't going to help you
around sharp turns but it can help you a lot through S turns. Be careful when
you do this though because when you go off the track, you will lose a lot of
traction.
________________________________________
Drifting
________________________________________
Drifting is completely different from drafting. What it is, is sliding sideways
through turns for style points. To start a drift, just tap the E-Brake button
while you enter the turn and your car will spin sideways. You have to be able
to turn more and counter steer before you turn too far. If you want to quickly
change drifting in the opposite direction, just let go of the gas for a second
and turn the wheel the other way. After a while you can start to kind of drift
a little side to side down straights so you can keep your point count going up
and keep it all in one drift for more points.

Challenge: Nevada
______________________________
Event #1
Race Type - Grip
Track     - Cheyenne
Cars      - Golf GTI
Reward    - 1,800
Tips      - This race is really straight forward. Watch out for the chicane
right after the start/finish line because you will fly into it if
you're not careful. Also be careful at the S turn right before the
finish line. There's a wall at the inside so you can't cut through
the dirt for a short cut.
Event #2
Race Type - Time Attack
Track     - Dakota
Cars      - Golf GTI
Reward    - 1,800
Tips      - This race is the same track as the previous one except just in
reverse. So the same cautions apply to be careful in certain areas.
This game mode is a little different though where the cars start a
bit further ahead of you. You don't have to pass them since it's
all about best lap time but you will get a better lap time if you
pass them obviously.
Event #3
Race Type - 1/4 Mile Drag
Track     - 1/4 Mile Drag Strip
Cars      - Cobalt SS, Civic
Reward    - 1,800
Tips      - This is just a straight forward drag race. If you aren't very good
at drag races, just try it on in regular single-player mode so it
won't effect your career. It doesn't matter which cars you pick
since they are all pretuned to be equal when you hit the drag strip
versus the other cars. However if you really care, the Cobalt is a
little bit faster.
Event #4
Race Type - 1/4 Mile Drag
Track     - 1/4 Mile Drag Strip
Cars      - Cobalt SS, Civic
Reward    - 1,800
Tips      - This is the same exact thing as the previous event. It's just a
drag race where all your competition will be equal. The Cobalt is a
little faster than the Civic if you really care but your
competition will be tuned to be equal to your car so it shouldn't
matter.
After you complete three of these four events you will officially win your
first race day. You will get to choose a car as your prize for dominating the
race day and pick either the Cobalt or the Civic. You should definately pick
the Cobalt since it's simply a faster car.
This tree on the map is going up until you reach the next challenge.

Event #1
Race Type - Grip
Track     - GP Circuit
Reward    - 1,000
Tips      - The hairpin turns at this track are incredibly wide so you should
not have to slow down too much. You should be able to make the
first one at about 95mph and the last one you should brake a little
while enterring for a better corner exit speed. The chicane is
pretty wide in the middle of the track so don't try to go through
the dirt as a short cut, it will only slow you down.
Event #2
Race Type - Grip
Track     - Short Circuit C
Reward    - 1,000
Tips      - The hair pin turns in this track can be brutal. Make sure to brake
hard for them and try to stay as close to the inside of the track
while turning as you can. After the first sharp left turn, you will
quickly approach a slight right turn, you can cut through the small
patch of sand here. However, this little shortcut is only useful
when you attempt to overtake the other cars on the track. If you're
not going to pass somebody in this turn, just follow the line
because the next turn will be difficult to enter if you cut through
that sand.
Event #3
Race Type - Time Attack
Track     - Short Circuit B
Reward    - 1,000
Tips      - This is very similar to the previous event on Short Circuit C. The
only difference is there's a little extra added to the track after
the third hairpin turn. There is a quick chicane here but you
should be able to fly through it. Cut through the sand here for a
nice boost past your opposition. The rest should just follow the
same tips.
Event #4
Race Type - 1/4 Mile Drag
Track     - 1/4 Mile Drag Strip
Reward    - 1,000
Tips      - This is just a regular drag race, no special tips here. The
opposition may be a bit faster though so don't be surprised if some
people blow past you.

Event #1
Race Type - Grip
Track     - GP Circuit
Reward    - 1,500
Tips      - The first series of turns is a bit difficult but the rest is pretty
simple. You should be able to fly through the grass at the quick S
turns before the last hair pin turn to save a few seconds.
Event #2
Race Type - 1/4 Mile Drag
Track     - 1/4 Mile Drag Strip
Reward    - 1,500
Tips      - From here on out for Drag races I'm just going to say warm up your
tires and shift properly.
Event #3
Race Type - 1/2 Mile Drag
Track     - 1/2 Mile Drag Strip
Reward    - 1,500
Tips      - Just warm up your tires and shift properly.
Event #4
Race Type - Time Attack
Track     - Festival Circuit
Reward    - 1,500
Tips      - Be careful on the backstretch on this one because there's a deadly
chicane shortly after the start/finish line here. Go slowly through
it and try to stay on the line as best as possible for the best
corner exit speed. The next series of turns is kind of sharp but
you should already have some experience in this track. Again, you
can fly through the grass on the last S turn to save some time.

Chicago Airfield II
______________________________
Event #1
Race Type - Time Attack
Track     - Airfield Long
Reward    - 1,800
Tips      - There's really no gimmicks to this track. However, a lot of the
turns are fairly tight including the hair pin turns. Be careful
when passing during the turns because a lot of them are tight and
are going to have another quick turn right away. Try to pass on
the straightaways when possible.
Event #2
Race Type - Sector Shootout
Track     - Center Field Loop
Reward    - 1,800
Tips      - The S turns on the backstretch aren't that bad at all, you should
be able to gas through the first one and let go of the gas through
the second one. Try to save your nitrous for the last lap so you
can improve the sectors you did poorly on.
Event #3
Race Type - Grip
Track     - Center Field Club
Reward    - 1,800
Tips      - The first left turn is pretty wide but you have to go pretty slow
around it too. Depending on your car, you should try to be about
60-70mph while entering it. The next sharp left is also a toughy,
don't hit the wall coming out of the turn. The last hairpin turn
is a really tight turn so go really slow, somewhere around 30-40mph
is key.
Event #4
Race Type - Grip
Track     - Airfield GP
Reward    - 1,800
Tips      - After the first hairpin turn the track is pretty tight for a while.
Be careful when passing in this section because you don't want to
run into the wall. The last sharp left turn is also pretty rough,
take that turn easy, don't try to fly through it because you'll
only fly right into the wall.
Event #5
Race Type - 1/4 Mile Drag
Track     - 1/4 Mile Drag Strip
Reward    - 1,800
Tips      - Warm up your tires and shift properly.

Cars      - Golf GTi, 350Z (Z33)
Reward    - 2,500
Tips      - The first series of turns is nothing but tight turns, you should be
going pretty slowly through these. On the second lap you can cut
through the sand on the right entering the first turn to save a few
seconds. The last hairpin turn has a slight left enterring it, the
map looks like it's sharp but it's not.

time and speed.
Event #3
Race Type - Grip
Track     - GP Circuit B
Cars      - Golf GTi, 350Z (Z33)
Reward    - 2,500
Tips      - The wide turns right before and after the start/finish line are
really wide and the one before the finish line has banking so it's
easy to make these at high speeds. The rest of the track has sharp
turns but the track is pretty wide throughout so it shouldn't be
too tough.

Track     - Short Circuit A
Cars      - Golf GTi, 350Z (Z33)
Reward    - 2,500
Tips      - The first hairpin turn is really wide so you will only have to

Event #1
Race Type - Grip
Track     - GP Circuit Reverse
Reward    - 1,500
Tips      - The first hair pin turn is really wide so you should be able to
fly through it, you might have to let go of the gas depending on
how fast your car is. The first turn off the back straightaway is a
bit harsh since you will likely jump a bit before you enter it so
brake a little earlier than usual. The next few turns are really
sharp and require braking. The last hair pin turn could be done
pretty quickly, it might require tapping the brakes to stay in the
line though.
Event #2
Race Type - Grip
Track     - Short Circuit B
Reward    - 1,500
Tips      - This is very similar to the previous event on Short Circuit C. The

Event #3
Race Type - Grip
Track     - Short Circuit A
Reward    - 1,500
Tips      - All of these turns are incredibly sharp and lead to a pretty slow
race. There are two quick S turns on the back straightaway after
the sharp right with banking that you can cut through the sand for.
After the left turn at the end of that straight, you can cut
through the sand for the sharp right for a few extra tenths of a
second.
Event #4
Race Type - 1/4 Mile Drag
Track     - 1/4 Mile Drag Strip
Reward    - 1,500
Tips      - Warm up your tires and shift properly.
Event #5
Race Type - Time Attack
Track     - Short Circuit C
Reward    - 1,500
Tips      - The hair pin turns in this track can be brutal. Make sure to brake
hard for them and try to stay as close to the inside of the track
while turning as you can. After the first sharp left turn, you will
quickly approach a slight right turn, you can cut through the small
patch of sand here. However, this little shortcut is only useful
when you attempt to overtake the other cars on the track. If you're
not going to pass somebody in this turn, just follow the line
because the next turn will be difficult to enter if you cut through
that sand.

Event #1
Race Type - Time Attack
Track     - Cheyenne
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - This race is really straight forward. Watch out for the chicane
right after the start/finish line because you will fly into it if
you're not careful. Also be careful at the S turn right before the
finish line. There's a wall at the inside so you can't cut through
the dirt for a short cut.
Event #2
Race Type - Sector Shootout
Track     - Tornado
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - All of the turns in this track are pretty sharp and some are tight
so be careful and brake for them, try to overtake the other cars
during the straights when you can unless you have a good shot
entering a turn. The first third or so of the track is off road and
on gravel so you will slide a bit enterring and exitting turns.
Event #3
Race Type - 1/2 Mile Drag
Track     - 1/2 Mile Drag Strip
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - Warm up your tires and shift properly.
Event #4
Race Type - Drift
Track     - Drift Course B
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - Drifting can be a bit difficult. You get bonuses for staying on the
track, drifting longer and faster, etc, anything that makes it look
really good and hard. Just try to accumulate the most points to win
this competition. Just so you know, if you get a high score of
around 1,300 you should be fine. Also try to gas through the
straight in between turns for a high speed bonus.
Event #5
Race Type - Drift
Track     - Drift Course A
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - This track is actually pretty tough, just keep practicing until you
can get a decent drift score.
Event #6
Race Type - Grip
Track     - Dakota
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - This race is the same track as the previous one except just in
reverse. So the same cautions apply to be careful in certain areas.
This game mode is a little different though where the cars start a
bit further ahead of you. You don't have to pass them since it's
all about best lap time but you will get a better lap time if you
pass them obviously.

Event #1
Race Type - Grip
Track     - Airfield Long
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - There's really no gimmicks to this track. However, a lot of the
turns are fairly tight including the hair pin turns. Be careful
when passing during the turns because a lot of them are tight and
are going to have another quick turn right away. Try to pass on
the straightaways when possible.
Event #2
Race Type - Sector Shootout
Track     - Center Field Club
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - The first left turn is pretty wide but you have to go pretty slow
around it too. Depending on your car, you should try to be about
60-70mph while entering it. The next sharp left is also a toughy,
don't hit the wall coming out of the turn. The last hairpin turn
is a really tight turn so go really slow, somewhere around 30-40mph
is key.
Event #3
Race Type - Time Attack
Track     - Center Field Loop
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - The S turns on the backstretch aren't that bad at all, you should
be able to gas through the first one and let go of the gas through
the second one. Try to save your nitrous for the last lap so you
can improve the sectors you did poorly on.
Event #4
Race Type - 1/4 Mile Drag
Track     - 1/4 Mile Drag Strip
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - Warm up your tires and shift properly.

Event #1
Race Type - Grip
Track     - GP Circuit
Cars      - GTO
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - There's really no tips involved in this track, just take a lot of
the turns slowly because most of them are really sharp.
Event #2
Race Type - Grip
Track     - Short Circuit
Cars      - GTO
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - There also isn't really any tricks to this track. It's similar to
the GP Circuit here so just take the turns slowly before you fly
off the track, especially the last hairpin turn before the finish
line.
Event #3
Race Type - Drift
Track     - Drift Course B
Cars      - GTO, G35 (V35)
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - This drift course may look bad at first with wide turns but it's
actually pretty easy to rack up high points. Start to drift around
the first hairpin turn and keep drifting until you reach the long
left. Drift through all of that in one drift and you'll easily win
the drift if you stay on track during the whole thing. For some
extra quick points, just drift through the last turn and reach the
finish line.
Event #4
Race Type - Sector Shootout
Track     - GP Circuit
Cars      - GTO
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - There's really no tips involved in this track, just take a lot of
the turns slowly because most of them are really sharp.
Event #5
Race Type - Drift
Track     - Drift Course E
Cars      - GTO, G35 (V35)
Reward    - 3,000
Tips      - This Drift Course is incredibly easy because of how many turns it
has. You should be able to drift pretty much the whole time from
the first turn to the last. You're better off to stop drifting on
the quick straightaway in the middle of the track though.
From here, the next few events will be going up on the map.

Event #1
Race Type - Grip
Track     - A-54 Express
Reward    - 2,400
Tips      - The first turn is pretty quick for a hairpin turn. The rest of the
turns are pretty quick to. Most of them are S turns which you could
cruise through relatively quickly.
Event #2
Race Type - Grip
Track     - Autobahn GP
Reward    - 2,400
Tips      - The first turn is pretty sharp but the rest isn't too bad. You
should only need to let go of the gas and maybe tap the brakes
lightly for most of the turns. The chicane on the backstretch
doesn't look too bad but it is when you're flying at 140mph. Slow
down a little for that turn before you total your car.
Event #3
Race Type - Sector Shootout
Track     - A-54 Interloop
Reward    - 2,400
Tips      - The first and last hair pin turns are pretty slow, so be careful
around those. The rest of the turns aren't that bad and should only
require letting go of the accelerator, maybe some light braking.
Event #4
Race Type - Drift
Track     - Drift Course A
Reward    - 2,400
Tips      - There's nothing special about this drift course, just go into the
first drift as fast as possible for the high speed bonus.
Event #5
Race Type - Speed Challenge
Track     - Autobahnring A
Reward    - 2,400
Tips      - Since you haven't done a Speed Challenge yet, you may need a car
suggestion. In which case, I highly suggest the Corvette. With only
cheap upgrades you should be able to blow your competition away.
With that said, most of these turns are wide turns so you can speed
through them. Just be careful, you may have to hit the brakes
through some of them. Don't slow down for the hairpin turn either,
the banking allows you to make the turn at high speeds.
Event #6
Race Type - Top Speed Run
Track     - Autobahnring B
Reward    - 2,400
Tips      - This one has some sharper turns so be careful around them at the
beginning. The hairpin turn is banked again so you can go around it
at top speed. After the hairpin turn the track gets very tight so
