Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit - PS1 - Expert Knockout Competition (Full Contest, All Rounds)
6A full playthrough of the expert knockout competition. It's seven rounds and seven opponents, whoever places last after each round is eliminated.
Like beginner knockout, you can't save between rounds or reset a race, this also has better opponent AI and extra random elements to make it tougher. Round one is always Hometown and the final round is always Empire City, but rounds two to six are on random tracks from tournament mode (though always in their usual chronology). It's also random whether the track is day or night, has weather, is mirrored or backward.
Unlike tournament mode, the opponent cars in knockout will always be identical to yours, which means a slower car is better, so I'm using the Ferrari 355 F1. A slower car makes it more difficult to win most races, but it also gives you more control, which means you're less likely to crash in Empire City, the most crucial race in the contest. Empire City is the only race you have to win and it has some sneaky shortcuts that can help a lot.
Winning this competition unlocks the best car in the game, the El Nino.

I'm playing the original disc on a PS3, I'm PAL region so 50Hz display setting might give a smoother experience.
