A Burning Route is an event in Burnout Paradise that requires the the player to use a specific car and race against time to a certain location.
Each time one completes a cars' route, the player will unlock a special version of the car, with a new paint job and, sometimes, slightly modified statistics. The special cars do not have their own routes, however.
In the free February update, vehicles stats were decreased requiring an increase in Burning Route target times to compensate.

[edit] Strategy
As with races, each Burning Route can start at any intersection but will only end at one of the 8 finish destinations. The player is given a time to beat and must get from start to finish within that time to win the event. Usually this limit will give leeway to crash once or twice at most, but the player is recommended to boost as much as possible as well as take the shortest route known.
The difficulty of these events generally rise as more cars become available in the game but will also depend on how well one can handle some of the cars. For example, heavy vehicles such as the Carson Inferno Van and Hunter Takedown 4x4 are not going to get from start to finish as easily as the other cars and is reflected in the target times that one has to beat for each of their routes. When using one of those vehicles, it is recommended that the player focus more on staying alive by turning correctly when needed and not going at top speed.
When performing a Burning Route event in a Speed car, a pre-planned route is very recommended, as one mistake with a Speed car has a great chance of costing the player the event.
