OK, not a bad goof!!

The 250cc race was OK, I picked the Honda 250 that I had (with 5% power boost for the optional exhaust) and had no real problems after I had got used to the tracks.

Next up was the 750cc race and I picked the 750 with the best power to weight ratio and was losing to the 600cc Ninja. I swapped to the Ninja (plus exhaust) and managed them OK.

Next up I thought that I was doing the up to 1000cc races and used the Ninja 600cc again and won easily. I realised after winning that it was the OVER 1000cc race... hence the goof! So much for the entry requirements.

Finally did the up to 1000cc series and used the 600 Ninja again! I had to get selective with the bikes I was up against but still managed relatively easy wins.
 
The stock bike races (only one opponent) can be quite easy (until you take off aids :sly:). However with multiple opponents later on, on short tracks, it can be hard to catch up to their lead before the race is over. Qualifying is your best bet!

Here's a good goof, I didn't even think about Challenge Mode until yesterday, so I'd been using the bikes that I'd won from golding all the licenses to progress through the game. :dunce:!

Anyway I’m currently sitting at a comfortable 56.x% :dopey:👍!
 
I started out with the Challenges as soon as I started... after the Novice license as there was not much hope of getting Golds and I needed bikes for the races. I am on about 42% with all except two of the super license bikes and a few others to get in Challenge Mode.

Now all I need is a 100% save so that I can get to all of the bikes!!

At SS5/CS5 I managed to bounce off the wall on that first corner... and still retained control of the bike!! You can actually ride along touching the outside wall on a corner (in Default mode anyway).
