1-Player Game Modes
Lotus Challenge™ has four 1-Player Game Modes.
Collection
Collection is where you can access all cars and tracks that you have unlocked while playing Lotus Challenge™.
When you have unlocked all the cars and tracks, you can take any car, select your team colors, and race on any track in Time Trial from Collection.
Challenge
Challenge is the main 1-Player Story Mode. Select your character and try out for the Lotus Challenge™ Team.
In this mode, you will take on the challenge of being the world's best Lotus Team driver. Your aim is to compete against other Lotus Team drivers from around the world in a World Series Championship, as well as undertake a whole variety of stunts, challenges, and one-on-one races.
From stunt driving for Hollywood movie directors to playing car football in a penalty shoot-out, your driving skills will be constantly challenged. Championship
Championship is where the serious racing action takes place. There are a total of seven different championship classes ranging from the classic cars to the super cars, taking in some of Lotus's most famous racing cars along the way. When you first start to play Lotus Challenge™, all the championship classes are available for you to race. However, only two cars from each class are available to drive. The other cars must first be unlocked before you can use them.
To play Championship, select your car from the choices available to you, choose your team colors, then select the Driving Aids, Opponent Skill, Vehicle Damage and Transmission you require and you're ready to race! Single Play
Single Play allows you to drive all the events, challenges, stunts, and races from Lotus Challenge™ mode as quick one-off games.
As you play through the Lotus Challenge™ mode, the events, challenges, stunts, and races will unlock in Single Play.
