How to Complete Close Call Objectives

Drive into oncoming traffic for 120 seconds

Close Call 1
Start driving from the border of Rojas Desert North and Old Town East to Lakeshore South. Stay on the left lane where there is oncoming traffic and drive in the middle of the lane. From there, you should see the Oncoming Lane timer begin.

Once you reach the end of the highway, you can turn around and drive on the other lane until the Challenge Objective is completed.

Get 20 near misses in a vehicle

Close Call 2
Due to the nature of this Challenge, you can easily complete both Objectives at the same time. As you are driving into oncoming traffic, there are plenty of vehicles on the highway that you can get close to for near misses.

The best vehicles to complete this Challenge would be sports cars such as the Fer De Lance, Hammerhead, or Raycaster since they have the highest speed among the land vehicles.
