Freeway Rally: The race begins with a cliff jump. Use your new In-air Controls to balance your car for a clean landing. The rest of the race involves following the freeway. Avoid hitting other cars to maintain speed and be aware of wrecks left by other racers. Police helicopters will shine lights but are not a significant threat. Pay attention when you go down and up an offramp/onramp for the second time, as the large truck from Moses' race will reappear. Consider saving your nitrous for the end when you exit the highway towards the finish line at a gas station. Watch out for a police car on the final stretch and a gas tanker just before the finish line.

Corner Cutter: This race is on a time limit, and checkpoints reset the timer rather than adding time, so avoid crashing. The Citi is recommended for this race due to its superior cornering and acceleration compared to the Emu, which is useful for tight turns. Utilize empty lots or spaces at intersections to cut through and minimize long turns. Expect numerous police cars and a couple of roadblocks, but they are manageable. Save your nitrous for the final straightaways. A shortcut can be used near the end: after the last checkpoint before the finish, drive up the hill road curving east. At the first intersection, instead of turning right, turn into the alley slightly past it. This alley will lead you to the finish line.
