Necessary PR
Can anyone give me a ballpark as to how much my PR would need to be to win this race? I've got a PR of 832 and the current rating of the race is hard- no matter how well I run the race, I can only ...

@Oan79 Pagani has too similar PR limit as McLaren, won't get you further. I know you have already completed the race, but usually the way is same as anywhere else:
1) perfect start
2) tail the adversary, use nitro early if necessary to get into contact
3) build up nitro
4) fire up nitro and pass him or ram him to the wall or even try to destroy him
5) if he's still in the race, keep him behind you
@HeretikJirka , thanks for your reply!!. never expected it. Perhaps i better off focus on koenig instead.
Your guidelines are just perfect. i chose to ram him and won the race after few tries.
May i ask you, what do you prefer when dealing with bends ? i found that some bends without drifting could improve my timings in tournament.
Or the timings in tournament are not relevant in the rankings. Appreciate your sharing 🙂
@Oan79 interesting question :-) When I started my walk through the game, I really loved drifting, which allowes me to use nitro much more often than normal. And when doing some tests, it turns out with drifting+nitro a better time can be achieved. And you are earning more cash as well. On the other hand, we have all noticed in the tight boss races that once we start drifting, the opponent starts closing in (if he is behind) or speeds off (when he was in front). So is drifting good or bad?
It depends. I think most of us would start to lose in curves even without drifting, and that is one of the reasons I am not afraid to use Easydrive... basically, there are two reasons:
1) there are tons of tedious races, fun has kinda disappeared anyway, now I am glad I do not have to race all the races
2) it helps me to win tight races. How? It just drives better. And I can use nitro whenever I want. And if there are places where AI makes mistakes, I can turn it off for a while, do whatever is necessary, and turn autopilot on again. I got much more solid results with this approach 🙂
And one last thing - in tournaments, winning is the only thing that matters, you get the same number of tourney points (250/500/900 etc.) whether you win by a split of a second or by a whole mile.
- Completelly agree with you, @HeretikJirka! This is the way to beat any race when your car is worse than others (except for Hunter races).
I beat Marcus when my Huracán had PR about 922 (same to finish Car Series). And PR is not the only thing that matter - I usually preffer cars with improved acceleration.

When I've had my CCX at 951, while complete McLaren had 949, racing Alex for Aventador showed Easy when selecting McLaren, but Medium when selecting CCX, even though it has higher PR (but lower acceleration).
