.MAIN MENU

. CAREER

Career mode challenges you to create and develop a new rider over five racing seasons with the aim of becoming the ultimate MotoGP champion. You will be able to choose a team and bike class at the beginning of each season for your customized rider. As you win races, stronger teams will be interested in recruiting you for the following season. New teams, helmets and bike upgrades will become available as your rider progresses.

. QUICK RACE

Choose your favorite track, rider, diffi culty level, bike class, riding model (‘Arcade’ to ‘Advanced’ or ‘Simulation’), transmission type, number of laps and weather conditions. Then hit the tarmac and don’t look back.

. TIME ATTACK

This option challenges you to set the best time at each circuit, competing against yourself to shave vital seconds off your record. Make your selections for circuit and rider then start racing. You are given the option to have a ghost rider who will appear after the first valid lap you complete. This ghost follows the line taken on your previous fastest lap, enabling you to judge where best to gain time. A ghost displaying your fastest line around each circuit is always available so you can keep chasing and keep improving.

. CHAMPIONSHIP

Championship Mode allows the selection of any class, rider and team. It enables you to compete in, and re-create, the 2008 season. Practice and Qualifying modes are optional whilst options including weather, difficulty, number of laps and handling model are available to help you better define the season.

Before each race there is the option to alter the mechanical set-up of your bike. This includes changing tyres, suspension settings and gear ratios. You will also be able to check rider standings, see where your rider ranks in the championship and view individual performance statistics. The option of practicing the circuit solo in free practice mode is available.
