Need For Speed Guide › Welcome to Ventura Bay

The Lay of the Land

Ventura Bay is divided up into six main districts. Each is a bit different.

Burnwood is your home base and where the garage is located. This section of the city features some industry and the railyard. There’s also an urban district with offices and commercial buildings.

Crescent Mountains features a series of roads that wind their way up the mountain toward the Weid Canyon dam.

Royal Park is mainly a residential area with some commercial areas, as well. GHOST stadium and some other landmarks are also located there.

South Port is almost all industrial. It’s dominated by the VB Petrochemical Company and the docks. Lots of narrow roads here.

Franklin Terrace is an upscale area with tech companies. The streets here wind around, making for some interesting courses.

El Rey is a mountainous area with canyons and lots of curvy roads. There are also some nice sights to see if you can slow down enough as you drive by.

Each district is also divided into a number of zones. It’s helpful to know the names when discussing locations with other drivers.

Ventura Bay also has several landmarks. When you’re not racing, stop by and see some of them. This city is not just roads. It’s a world that you can explore.
