If you look at the game's achievement list, you see there are quite a few for something called "Jimmy's Vendetta" which apparently didn't make it to the finished product, but will be available as a DLC in the near future. I believe that's where the last 30% of the game progress is measured. Also, from looking at the achievements, Jimmy's Vendetta might be the closest thing to a free ride mode that we're going to get. Here's the achievement list:
