Ive completed it on Silver, now playing thru on Hardcore. Only ones im finding hard are the Cone ones. How the HELL can you get 16000K in one go?
It's not too hard to get the cone challenges, and if you want to reach rank 1 ASAP, just do all of the cone challenes and you'll be pretty much there.
For the cone challenges, I either used the Ferrari F40 or the Palmer Jaguar, as you need good, solid grip and handling to get to cone gates, but also good grip to come out of slides and mistakes.
When I do a cone challenge, I make sure I do a handbrake(e-brake) turn around every corner and in some long open parts between cones, just fishtail around, building up the multipler. Don't worry too much if you miss a set of cones, just initiate a slide in time for your Kudos not to be added up, as you need to go through the entire laps with one big combo.
If you are finding it difficult to go through in one go, don't restart when you mess up, as you'll find yourself getting amazing at the first half of the track, but come those last few cones, you'll not remember where you're going and mess up more.
