This article documents an in-depth walkthrough for Midnight Club: Los Angeles.
Your missions are paged to you and appear in the bottom of left corner of your screen. You can check which missions you have available, completed missions and tutorials by pressing the Back button to access your GPS. Then press A to activate your mission log. Use / to scroll through different tabs.
When you race in races with multiple vehicles, the opposition vehicles change based on factors such as your vehicle, difficulty, vehicle Rep. and overall Rep.
Difficulty is in 4 stages. In the game it is Green (Easy), Yellow (Medium), Orange (Hard), Red (Hardest). In some races, such as wagers, the difficulty is up to you. There are very few missions on the Red (Hardest) setting.

Now you have beaten the City Champ, you want to beat each class champ. There are 5 classes: Exotic, Luxury, Motorcycle, Muscle & Tuner.
The way to unlock a Champ is to win 35 races in the same vehicle type once you have unlocked the Group 4 Vehicles. That is then when you have unlocked the Exotic class. There are still a few more missions that you need to do but if you have none of the missions below available when you access your pager, do not worry. You will likely receive one immediately after you beat Booke.
The Exotic Champ and Motorcycle Champ are the most commonly received missions due to the fact those are the fastest vehicles in the game, with the former being due to the fact that the Lamborghini Murciélago Roadster DUB Edition being a commonly used car due to it's exceptional stats and all-wheel drive drivetrain, while the latter is due to the fact, that the Sport Bikes offer much faster acceleration and sharper handling at the expense of their lower durability and the dangerous risk of falling off.
The following missions will continuously pop-up: It is not recommended to do these as these will just respawn after completion. - Hollywood Match - Mack Burger - Hollywood Tournament
- Valley Match - Hollywood Lookout - Hills Tournament
- Downtown Match - The Diamond Lot - Downtown Tournament
