There are five locations in the game: United States, India, Iceland, Mexico and Australia.

These challenges are one of three different types; Quest (find the letters that spell out the name of the next unlockable car around the track), Skill (use your car to push a large ball through a crazy golf style course to the finish line), and Stunt (complete an extreme stunt course including jumps over a series of objects etc.).
