As a player explores the map in free roam, the player receives a cash reward and/or info as the player discovers and drives through each of the icons. Outruns - while in free roam (cruising), players can challenge specific computer opponent cars (potential outrun opponent cars appear different than normal traffic cars) in an 'outrun', where the goal is to start an outrun and then distance the player's car from the opponents car by 300 metres (1,000 feet).Ĭash and info icons scattered about the game - Each stage, including the intro stage, includes a set of hovering icons scattered throughout the games map. Ten of these special events are called 'DVD' events, which get unlocked based on a cars visual rating, and stages 2 through 5 each require completing some number of 'DVD' events to complete a stage. Achieving this will reward the player with a magazine cover. Special events - these are similar to sprints without any barriers, with the goal to reach a target point on the map (using the in game guide helps here), which is a 'photographer', and the player needs to reach the target within a specific time limit.

The total score at the end of these races determines the winner of the tournament.

At the end of each race, drivers receive a specific amount of points according to their standing in a race.
