1. Begin by making the start area difficult to access or exit. One of these is nice, but both is better!

2. Exit the starting area through a crowd of civilians, then make a sharp turn. The idea is to make the player drive down the sidewalk.

3. Make the gates difficult to see. The player should be watching the minimap, not the game.

4. More civilians. At this point, you want to have the police meter at around halfway.

5. Use a sudden turn into a narrow alley. Only the Supercar can fit.

6. Shortly after this, make them drive up stairs, so that they have to use the SUV for this race.

6a. Make sure the stairs are populated with civilians.

7. Continue, using similar concepts as before.

8. You've reached the finish! But the race isn't quite long enough. Should you go back and modify it, making it longer? Of course not! Just add a second lap.

9. Test your race. If you do not get Peacekeeper hit squads after you in the first minute, you are a poor designer.

right on the head. I want the option to be able to make your own races. Especially agility races, then send them to your friends. That would be fun trying to beat your friends 30 checkpoint race imo.
