Miami Drive north until you have to make a left turn. Take the freeway
until you get to the alleyway bridge. Lose the cops on the bridge
and stop. The police cars cannot regenerate on an alleyway.
New York You will start in front of a park with a cop behind you. Lose
the cop by turning around into the park. Lose the cop in the park
and stop. The police cars cannot regenerate on a park area.
Los Angeles Drive to LAX (L.A. Airport), and avoid using the oncoming
traffic lanes to get there. Once at the airport, drive to the
south parking lot. Then, lose the cops in the parking lot.
Hint: Losing the police: If a cop is directly behind you and chasing you (touching
you, but bumper to bumper), brake for a split second then accelerate
immediately. The cop will fall behind once it hits you, and you
will most likely lose that cop car.

Hint: Crosstown race: In the final mission where you have to beat the record
across town, enable the "Strange screen colors" code.
You will be going on lots of straight aways, and you will need
to know where traffic travels. It will make it easier to direct
your car down the road in a way that will keep it out of the other
cars' paths.
