The 360 ​​(Hell)

The first challenge requires players to perform an Exhaustion Donut with an Infernus, which can be achieved by holding the throttle and brake buttons at the same time while tilting the left analog stick left or right. After performing a full 360 degree spin, players need to press and hold the handbrake button, then release everything else at the same time.

The 180 (Blista Compact)

To complete the 180, players will need to use the handbrake to spin their Blista Compact, then drive it into the designated bay. As long as they don’t hit any cones while turning, they shouldn’t have too much trouble getting a gold for this challenge, as they’ll have a second or two to perfectly line up their car when they reach the parking lot.

Whip and End (Banshee)

To complete Whip and Terminate, players will need to slide a Banshee around a sharp turn, then stop in the allocated area. As with the previous challenges, the key to this one is to properly line up the car at the end, which players will have a few seconds to do as long as they are driving at a decent speed.

Pop and control (police car)

Pop and Control forces players to drive a police car through certain cones after their tires have been blown out by a stinger. The best way to do this is to release the throttle as soon as the tires burst, then work your way through the cones to the bay at the end. The timing is a bit tight with this approach, but it shouldn’t take more than a few tries to get it right.

Burn and Lap (Banshee)

Burn Lap is probably the hardest of the driving school challenges because it is quite long and requires a near perfect run. Players will have to drive a Banshee on a short track five times, using the handbrake to keep their speed as high as possible. As tempting as it may be, it’s best not to adjust the camera during this challenge and instead focus on straightening the car as quickly as possible after each turn of the handbrake. Players will need to get as close as possible to the final inside cone each time they turn, so it may be helpful to each start from the outside of the turn.

Cone Coil (Banshee)

To complete Cone Coil, players will need to squeeze between the three rows of cones, complete a 180 degree turn with the handbrake, then come back through the cones and park in the bay at the end. It’s much simpler than the previous challenge, with players being able to take a somewhat cautious approach due to the time allotted to them to complete the challenge.

The ’90’ (Banshee)

The ’90’ requires players to slide a Banshee to the side so that it ends up between two other parked cars. To do this, they need to position the front of their car so that it is facing the rear of the car on the right, and then move forward as fast as they can. When they are parallel to the oil stain to their right, they will need to take their foot off the accelerator, then immediately press the brake and handbrake while pulling the left analog stick to the left. It will probably take a few tries, but it’s actually a lot easier than it looks once players start to get used to it.

Wheelie Weave (Banshee)

To complete Wheelie Weave, players will need to flip a Banshee on two wheels, then place it neatly in the red circle on the ground. To do this, players need to gently press the left analog stick to the left as soon as they start, and then tap it to the right once the car tilts onto two wheels. From there, they’ll just have to drive to the red circle, then use the handbrake to stop in the very center of it.

Spin and Go (Taxi)

Spin and Go is much easier than some of the previous challenges, especially if players use the correct analog stick to rotate the camera 180 degrees before starting. The goal is to back a taxi straight up, then spin it around and park in a bay, which can be accomplished with a little practice. Rather than doing it the intended way, players should instead back up through the last two cones on the outside edge of the first straight, then walk forward and go left to reach the parking lot.

PIT maneuver (police car)

As the title suggests, PIT Maneuver forces players to perform a PIT maneuver, which is actually surprisingly easy. The tricky part is doing this without damaging the police car they are driving, although with a touch of delicacy this too can be a fairly straightforward task. Players simply need to drive past the other police car and then gently push it from the driver’s or passenger’s side door area, using the demo video as a reference for the ideal end position and heading.

Oop Alley (Banshee)

Alley Oop may take a few tries to perfect but, like many other driving school challenges, is a lot easier than it looks at first glance. Players will need to hit the ramp on the left or right side so that only two of the Banshee’s wheels come into contact. Once the car is in the air, they should then take their foot completely off the accelerator and pull the left analog stick in the direction of the side of the ramp they came out of so the car rolls over. It doesn’t matter how far the car has traveled, although it’s important that it lands perfectly straight without sustaining damage.

City Slicking (Super GT)

City Slicking is the latest driving school challenge and will require a healthy combination of luck and skill to complete. Players should try to keep their car on the tramlines during the opening straight while passing the garage, then park to the right near the first turn so they don’t need to brake so aggressively. After taking a left shortly after, players will find themselves on another long straight, where they will again have to roll as fast as possible. However when they reach the right turn at the end they should slow down a bit as it is very easy to skid going down the steep hill here. Once at the bottom, they’ll need to make a 180-degree turn using the handbrake, then turn back without taking any damage. Unfortunately, success can often be dictated by the amount of traffic on the second straight, as certain dips in the road do force players to steer blindly.
