prima’s official strategy guide
Project Gotham Racing provides several ways to become a great driver. This chapter explains each mode. But first, you
must understand how the game rewards you and how to customize the game to highlight your strengths. There are two
areas of accomplishment: completing maneuvers to earn Kudos and finishing in the top three.
Kudos
Kudos are points awarded for completing various maneuvers. It is a variable system; you can earn different amounts for the same maneuver, depending on such factors
as speed, duration, and degree of difficulty. When you begin a qualified maneuver, its name appears in gold in the upper right-hand corner underneath a running
point total of your total Kudos. This value increases throughout the maneuver, and when you finish the move, the final number of points is added to the total. You
can perform several maneuvers one after another; the Kudos “stash” keeps growing until the maneuvers end.
A maneuver is deemed finished when a car stays “clean” (no contact with walls, obstacles, or other cars) for three seconds after
the move’s completion. Until the waiting period ends, Kudos are held in limbo. If the car brushes a wall or another car, all the
Kudos earned for that maneuver disappear. So keep the car under control, especially when the Kudos delay timer still ticks. You
know the current maneuver is active when the
point total is displayed above the name of the
maneuver, as pictured here.
Yo ur Kudos stash grows with
additional maneuvers.
Earning Kudos during a Race
• Slide bonus: Points are awarded based on speed and length of slide.
• Cone Gates bonus: Drive through cleanly.
• Speed Gates bonus: Points are awarded based on car’s speed as it passes through speed gates.
• Clean Section bonus: Bonus is awarded for completing a track section without hitting anything. Award is based on length and difficulty of track.
• Overtake bonus: Earn 10 points for each car you pass during a race.
• Big Air bonus: Award is based on length of time car is in air.
• Two-Wheels bonus: Award is based on length of time car is on two wheels.
• Time bonus: Some events award Kudos for time remaining on the clock when race ends.
• Combo bonus: Points are based on number of Kudos-earning maneuvers you string together.

Earn additional Kudos in a Street Race by raising the
difficulty level and then beating the target.

Winning Races
To advance through the levels of Quick Race and Arcade Race, finish in third place or better. Medals are awarded for the finish, including third place, Bronze;
second place, Silver; and first place, Gold. In the Street Race mode of Kudos Challenge, you must also finish in third or better. However, you have an additional
Kudos requirement to earn a medal, and you must earn a medal in each race to advance to the next level. It’s possible to win a race in Kudos Challenge but fail to
advance if you don’t earn the required number of Kudos for each race.
ADJUSTING THE BAR
When competing in Kudos Challenge, you can customize the winning requirements to suit your driving abilities. For example, if you drive fast but you’re still
learning how to earn Kudos for style maneuvers, raise the difficulty level for speed-related requirements. You can then earn substantial Kudos for your racing
abilities, even though your style performance is still in progress. The following screens illustrate how to adjust the bar to take advantage of your abilities:
You can also change the emphasis from speed to style in a Kudos
Challenge race by adjusting the difficulty. For example, set a higher
Kudos target in a Style Challenge, which awards a higher bonus if you
meet the target. The following screens illustrate the award differences
between a minimum and maximum Kudos target. Note the dramatic
difference in the Kudos bonus.
Default Kudos award for third-place finish
Additional Kudos award for finishing first
Adjust the Kudos target value in increments
of five.
The lowest style difficulty of 100 awards a
bonus of 20 Kudos.
The highest style difficulty of 2,000 awards a
bonus of 400.
In Quick Race, you compete against five AI drivers, and the goal is
to finish in third place or better. You must also meet timed check-
point requirements, so this isn’t sightseeing. Four levels each have
four tracks. Achieve at least a Bronze Medal (third place) in all
four races to complete the level and advance to the next. You also
accumulate Kudos in Quick Race, although they are not required.
However, Kudos are added to the total score, enabling you to unlock cars and skins as you reach milestones. Also unlock cars by earning Gold Medals in all of a
Quick Race level’s events. See the “Cars” section for a complete list of unlocking requirements.
Additional rewards are awarded
for total hours of gameplay,
including a hidden game mode
(see “Medal Pursuit” later in this
section) and custom helmets.
