Watch the scene. After a while you will gain control of your good ol BMW M3
GTR, the same car that you just recovered from Razor in Rockport (NFS: Most
Wanted). An old enemy appears and chases you. Guess what, its Cross.
You will take over the controls. Dont worry about this pursuit, if you get
caught, you can restart or end your career. While escaping, the game takes
control and your precious car gets totalled in a waiting truck.
Watch the next scenes, and Nikki will take you to the car lot with Neville,
your first crew member waiting. Here you need to choose one of the three
cars. These are pretuned already. However the car you will choose will
affect your starting territory and races.
If you have read the details discussed above, you will know what to choose.
I personally prefer Tuners cause I just love them. If you are still unsure,
you can test drive all of them then decide what to keep.
After deciding what to keep, Neville will join you as your first crew member.
Watch the following scenes and you will be in your first pursuit of the game.
Just evade them and the real game begins.
I will follow the walkthrough for the Tuner class. Do not worry if you choose
the other classes; the only changes are the territories you will first start
with. Just refer to the other territories and bosses for some quick
strategies.

Once you conquered all districts, Kenji will challenge you. This will be a
2 lap circuit race and a canyon duel. Now, if you are able to beat the
challenge series that unlocks the Nissan 240 SX (Collector's Edition only)
then this battle will be easy as pie.
For Tuners, you will be probably using the RX-8. Remember this, a fully
upgraded RX-8 is no match or will have difficulty racing against the RX-7.
That is where tuning it makes a difference. Kenji's specialty is technical
courses. His car hugs the corners like a breeze. Not to mention that the RX-7
accelerates like crazy when exiting turns. Try using the TECHNICAL setup
above; with proper driving, you will always have a 2-3 second lead against
Kenji with that setup. Buying a new car is also a good option but not a good
deal with the money.
The circuit race is full of tight corners and there are certain points where
Kenji excels. As much as possible, DO NOT LET HIM TAKE THE LEAD. He will
always try to overtake you from the inside. If he is shouldering you, nudge
him on the wall. He will slow down. When taking corners, don't stray too
much in the outside while turning. If he is just behind you, he will not let
that oppurtunity pass. Take note of the shortcuts as well. He will always
take those shortcuts if possible.
The canyon duel can be challenging as well. Tuners are the perfect machines
for technical racing. Too powerful machines can make you lose control. If
you are confident about your driving, you can always attempt to overtake
him. Otherwise, just keep as close as possible to the guy.
Fully upgraded Exotics should be okay, so no special notes about it. Muscle
users should save this battle for last. Muscles suffer for their weight,
making them hard to control while maintaining high speed corners.
Countersteering will always do the trick but it requires practice. Just
remember the pointers I mentioned above and you should do fine.
Yumi will contact you after the race. Just follow the GPS to meet her and
she will be available for hiring.
