Tips and Tricks

 * Before approaching this championship, buy a car that has a very good top speed and a good handling, and fully tune it, because all the three circuits are all meant for high speeds. A fully tuned (and racing modified) Dodge VIPER GTS '96 is a good choice for this event. Also a fully tuned (and racing modified) Nissan SKYLINE GT-R V • spec (R33) '97 can be a good choice, but is required to customize the gearbox if you want to compete for the first place in the second race, located on the Test Course.

Trivia

 * If the player drives a fully tuned (and racing modified) Dodge VIPER GTS '96 on the second race of this championship, it can exceed the 400 Km/h by using the slipstream of an opponent.
 * In a certain sense, this event is similar to the Hard-Tuned Car Speed Contest. Also in this event the opponents will drive heavily tuned road cars. However, in this event, also race cars and racing modified cars are allowed to participate.
 * This event is the predecessor of Like the Wind, an event introduced in the later games of the series that consist on races on high speed circuits.
