What you DO, is to get the car you have to a point where you can win a lot of the time (or all of the time) in "FAMILY PLAY", and then race, race race! Bank all the bucks you can on short races with a well developed car - but be warned! You make more money in the higher series races.
The flip side of that is that it COSTS a lot more to UPGRADE in the higher series races.
What is key here is to get a few engine upgrades and take advantage of the better handling in family play - you don't wipe out as much. Don't blow your cash on stuff you don't need. In family play - engine comes first, then tires. If you have them built up well you ARE going to win more and more. -Answer by:GreywolfHunting
If you mean "How do I get to the second license test for Craftsman Trucks" the answer is you have to keep an eye on your levels in various driving skills. As they go up, your license availability goes up. So those skills become important.
They also improve the things you can do - and I've seen this before in EA driving games. Your controller inputs for one become less skittish, more smooth. The random percentage of a spinout is reduced, other things as well. Wonder why some of the other drivers are dogging you? That too is affected by one of those stats. The higher you build those skill levels, the easier it gets. There's only one drawback - as your skills rise, you need them to more and more.
Once you get up high enough you can't go back to earlier series. But when you have two or more series you are in going on you can really notice the difference in the lower series races....
Anyway, THAT I think, is what is happening. -Answer by:GreywolfHunting
Go to sign contracts and quit your current contract ad go to find a different seris and sign a contract wih one of the other cars that is open for you to race in
A2:
You have to have a specific license for each series.
Whelan is the basic one, and finishing well in a lot of races helps, BUT:
BUILD YOUR DRIVING SKILL LEVELS RELIGIOUSLY.
That riight there is the key. As your "driving skills" levels in all those stats increase - more license challenges come available, and they are the only way to move on to the next series up.
*"FRONT RUNNING" helps a lot, but "STRATEGY" is also very important. -Answer by:GreywolfHunting
Okay hers wut you do go to eb games or gamestop which ever one is near your place (their the same thing gamestops american and eb is canadian) by the four controller out let for 35 bucks get four controllers plug em n and race
Car damage is a problem with a lot of the later contracts, but if you use "INTIMIDATE" a lot, you don't have to wipe out the competition as much.
I also found "SHARE DRAFT" a good way to get to the front of the pack. You can always intimidate your "Buddy" later.
So the answer is intimidate as many as you can, but find a way to drive around the POKEY ones however you have to. I always liked the exits from the turns because most cars drift high and you can slide by inside them. -Answer by:GreywolfHunting
They dive down coming into turns, then drift out at the exits. I always found that staying high, letting off the throttle or even braking at the turn exits worked best for me.
The other cars will make at least a token effort to avoid you, just watch your spacing and speed and work your way through them all.
If I can do it, I'm sure you can too!
Be cool, "SHAKE AND BAKE" when you can, and don't hit anybody. -Answer by:GreywolfHunting
A2:
The pass car lic challenge is at orchard raceway for the cup car. you basical stay high. try to hit the wall or other cars
What you do is make the race length at long or more and turn off the unlimited fuel and tire setting and don't pit until the last possible moment. O and if the lap 5 cars medal pops up you can exit the race and you will still get the medal.
First, make the race long enough (like 25% or more). Next, try to spin out someone at 2 or 3 different places during the first 2 laps. Also helps if you are on unlimited fuel & tires.
Anything that makes it FASTER..... -Answer by:GreywolfHunting
A2:
Gears: preset 10. but make the 4th gear as low as possible for faster top speed.
