Career Mode

Hector is the sixth challenger the player meets in Los Angeles. He is usually found cruising the streets of the industrial district. By flashing their high beams, he will lead them to the northwest portion of the industrial district, right next to the Plastics Plants. This is a very strange path he takes, as he goes through the city instead of heading to the start directly.

His first race, named Lose the Cops, is a head-to-head race versus Hector. However, since there is a strong police presence, the race is called off. This race introduces the player to the Lose the Cops style of race. The task is to simply meet Hector at the old warehouse, located at the southern portion of the Watts district, without bringing any police attention. To effectively lose the police, it is recommended that the player follows these next instructions: when the player is given the signal to go, turn immediately to the right and proceed down the Los Angeles river. Go through the fenced off gates until the player locates a tunnel, the one that links the river with the eastern section of downtown Los Angeles. Proceed through this tunnel and make an immediate left. If the player maintains a reasonable speed, the player will shake the police presence fairly easily. Enter the other side of the warehouse through a ramp, cross the middle portion of the building, and descend the other ramp, where the finish line will be located.

The second race, which is called Block Party, has the player competing against six other racers. The only obstacle in this race is the downpour of rain, which may cause unnecessary oversteering. The race ends at the intersection which borders downtown with a short expressway leading to the Industrial district.

The third race, appropriately named Slipstream Chicanes, features the player versus six other racers. Unlike other races, there are two starting points instead of one. There are three prominent obstacles the player must face: The first being an early police presence, the second being two parked vehicles in a road side motel, and the third being a semi-truck, which is carrying a supply of gas. The race ends once the player reaches the left side of the warehouse mentioned in the first race. Upon completion, Hector will hand him his car, the Monstruo.
