From the streets of downtown to the rainforests of Canada and the rocky mountains, this track offers more variation than any of the other tracks in the game, making it my personal favourite. There is also a shortcut in this track. Good cars for this track are Lotus GT1 and again McLaren F1 with increased downforce.

Mediterraneo - Greece

Twisty track with lots of challenge. You will be driving through the narrow streets of a Greek village, the ancient ruins and the twisty road in the mountains. There is much difference between a car with automatic transmission and and manual transmission. Last one is much faster. The best car for Mediterraneo is McLaren F1 with increased downforce.

Last Resort - Mexico (Special Edition)

This twisty track takes you to the sands, beaches, long tunnels and breathtaking sceneries of Mexico. Although it's not very hard, you've still got to be alert or you may find yourself from bottom of a chasm or upside down in a rain forest.
