I just beat this level yesterday!
It becomes easy… Once you know what the tricks are supposed to be, which the game doesn’t tell you at all.
For me, these were the tips I needed:
- There’s a dedicated button for burnout, which makes it super easy to do the 360
- the slalom only counts if you do the pillars on one side of the garage BOTH WAYS
- To do a backwards 180, drive backwards, then push one direction, then halfway through push the other direction.
Supposedly the PSX version also has a video in the options menu which shows you a dev completing the course, with button prompts on screen.
Oh, and there’s a cheat code in-game to skip this level entirely.

What a memory this unlocked!! The physics of this game made you feel like you were 100% driving a real car. I almost want to play it again now, but honestly I bet that not being able to actually drive as a kid was half of what made it so mesmerizing.
Now it might just be like driving to work :(

My brother and I were, like, 7 and 10, respectively, when we played this. Some things on the list were obvious, others (the heck is a “slalom”?!) we had to guess just by doing every possible thing you could do with a car. A couple day’s work, bada-bing bada-boom.
People definitely would’ve given up nowadays.

If you can dodge a wrench, you dodge the pillars while slaloming.

I had a shitty non FFB wheel. So much easier. The 180 was almost impossible with keyboard

I had no trouble with this as a kid, seeing people always complain about it is wild. I even picked up the game again last year on emulator to try it again and best it first try once I fixed input lag issues
You wanna talk impossible?
The actual last mission of this game on the hard difficulty might as well be RNG for now fucking hard dodging the NPCs that spawn are, as they’re faster than you

never understood why a driving game needed a tutorial in the first place

I still can hear this picture!
Luckily you could skip it, so I was able to play the rest of the game.
Later a gaming magazine had a guide with an optimal route, that helped me to finally beat it. (after hours of practice)

To this day I have not beaten that level.
