Tips / Warnings[]
- Wheelie distance is measured differently than what is shown on-screen. There is a delay between the motorcycle being shown on a wheelie and when its distance is recorded. While the QC's will be given before the counter finishes, it is recommended to check the pause menu if the objective has been completed.
- A heavily upgraded Hayabusa is recommended for Tests 45 and 53. These races have traffic enabled and the AI's time means that only 1 Wreck is allowed.
- The Suzuki Hayabusa's R&D is generally considered one of the hardest ever R&Ds. Hence, it is recommended that the player, if attempting to complete it, has a large amount of credits and tokens at their disposal to upgrade the bike or autopass.
