Revolution Novice Class: S Laps: 3 Cars 1 Difficulty ** This course has a couple of sharp turn. A car with good handling would be advised. Renegade Novice Class: S Laps: 3 Cars 1 Difficulty **(*) This course if challenging for a beginners, with a lot of sharp turns, and twists and turn you need to keep you wits about you. Ridge Racer Novice Class: R Laps: 3 Cars 1 Difficulty * To my knowledge this is the same as Ridge Racer Novice, but you use R class cars. Revolution Novice Class: R Laps: 3 Cars 1 Difficulty *** This is a very fun course, lots of sharp turn and bends. About half way though the course you will come down a downhill stretch, if you take the turn close to the inner edge you can get catch up to your opponent really quickly. Renegade Novice Class: R Laps: 3 Cars 1 Difficulty *** In this course there are some sharp turns, but is fairly easy. Just keep to the inner edge when turning. ############################################################################### VII +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Cars | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ To what I can see now 24 cars to unlock and 8 mystery cars to unlock.
