    How to unlock Shortcut Expert

    To unlock this trophy you'll need to obtain the 'Explorer' badge at every circuit. To unlock the Explorer badge you'll need to use every shortcut on a track in the same event, including the locked shortcuts - it will not unlock if you take two on a particular track in one event and then the rest in another. The locked shortcuts can be activated by picking up a key that is hidden on the track (almost always on a 'shortcut' that is longer than the main track). The game won't track which circuits you have unlocked this badge for, so you'll need to write a checklist to keep track of your progress.

    I unlocked this trophy by doing a 4 lap race on each track with damage disabled. The best way to do it is to take as many of the shortcuts you know of on the 1st lap (ignoring the locked one) and then go for the locked shortcut on your second lap. The remaining laps are to mop up any shortcuts that overlap or you may have missed on the first 2 laps, and also for multiple attempts on getting the key to unlock the secret shortcut, as you aren't guaranteed to get it on your first attempt. It took me 3 or 4 laps on most events to use all of the shortcuts. Make sure you watch closely to see when the Explorer badge pops-up and make sure you finish the race (although it doesn't matter if you have a DNF because all other drivers finished).

    Most of the tracks have a handful of shortcuts and they're pretty easy to work out. The hardest is USA, as many of the shortcuts are simply cutting corners across the grass.

    Once you've taken one locked shortcut, you will unlock Red Carpet.
