Game-Modes

Singleplayer

Open Practice

Practice driving at both track variations with the BMW M3. Open Practice allows you to learn the track outside of a race competition.

Race weekend

Compete in a stand-alone race against the game's AI. Race Weekend takes a car through a practice session, a qualifying session and a race. Deselect the practice and qualifying on the Summary screen to go directly to the race.

Time Trials

Race against yourself in Time Trials. Improve your lap times by competing against your own best lap. In this mode, the car that you race against appears in semi-translucent form and is non-collidable.

Have the ideal race line for your selected track visible. Use this to learn the best approach for the apex of each corner, and analyze the exact braking and acceleration spots used during the recorded lap.

Multiplayer

BMW M3 Challenge features the ability to race against your friends and other live opponents over a Local Network (LAN), over the Internet via direct TCP/IP, or over the Internet using the BMW M3 Challenge Internet system.
