generally, it involves lots of RLJing together with upsetting other road users.

Basically it's a treasure hunt. But "treasure hunt" doesn't sound as badass. Red light jumping is strictly optional, just like in real life.

That one posted above looks good. I think you have to eat a portion of chips at each checkpoint.

its like a pretentiousness competition.

very hard to win as there's always someone willing to push it just that little bit further.
