Take the game back to where you got it from there have been known issues with some of the copies of it im afraid. The oly other thing you could try and do is to try and clean the laser with a disc cleaner. Are any other games that you won doing the same or is it just that one ??? How old is your console?

EDIT - Do you smoke? Have you got any pets cats or dogs? I know that this sounds a strange question but i know someone who smokes the waccy baccy and his 360 laser dies on a regular basis and someone else that i know has a dog and i had to take his 360 apart and clean the laser because dog hair had got in it!!!

I think that the thing is its another game that is just buggy may be worth a try to see if it goes past the part that locks. I cannot say for certain about it working fine because i played it for 10 mins then gave up just dont like the game at all. Race Driver Grid is out next week and thats the kiddie ive been waiting for.

Try saving your game to a memory card and load from there.Worked for me on
a couple of games.Im told hdd errors can prevent loading games but they
will load from the card.

The thing is that you shouldnt have to faf around swaping from memory card ect and doing this and that they should have tried to get rid of the bugs out of the game before releasing it which they appear not to have done and seeing as though the 360 version was done a long time ago they should have got the 360 one spot on which they havent. Oh well Race Driver Grid is out now so im well happy!!!!!
