Necessary PR

@HeretikJirka yeah what's up with the F458's? They're as fast as road runners. 😞

you seem to know a lot about this game. Where are you from? I'm catching the next flight to your place, so you could help me finish the event i mentioned in my post. Damn, that's one difficult event. 

Im stuck at last race with marcus king in chap19. His koenig with 971 PR was fast. Tried few runs hoping he crash but it didnt.

My mclaren had maxed out to 949 but still so much difference... 

Getting bored with staging up pagani to complete it!!!

Oppps, the moment after i post replied previously, i managed to complete the last race of undergrand... weee!!!!

@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.

It seems game engine prefers them as well - not only when calculating PR, but when calculating the difficulty as well. 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).

@Oan79 There are two ways you can take corners quickly. One is turning without drifting (which is what you do) and the other is turning while drifting slightly and "wall-riding".

The first one works fine with every car (as you're racing like how it should be), which is taking proper racing lines.

The second one is a really cheap tactic and it only works with a fast car (like Koenigsegg CCX). Here's how it works:

1. When attempting to turn, drift only very slightly to maintain speed.

2. While drifting, use nitrous to maintain gain some speed while turning.

3. You may some into wall contact by doing this. Keep drifting and using nitrous while making contact with the walls. You'll see you lose barely any speed.

4. If done correctly, you'll exit a corner at a high speed. (Like 340 km/h + )

I'll use Marcus King's race as an example for this cheap tactic. (This is for everyone who really wants to win Marcus King's race very badly)

1. Get Perfect Launch (obviously)

2. Spam Nitrous while drifting slightly before approaching the first tunnel

3. Stay on the outer lanes (the outer lanes give more Nitrous as it's the oncoming lanes in this race)

4. Make contact with the walls very slightly if you have to

5. If done correctly, you should exit the first tunnel with 340 km/h or higher

6. When approaching the second tunnel, drift slightly and make contact with the walls.

7. Use Nitrous while drifting and "wall-riding"

8. If done correctly, you should exit the second tunnel with 360 km/h or higher (watch out for the pillar upon exiting the second tunnel)

9. Upon entering the last corner, dodge the oncoming traffic and "wall-ride" that corner

10. After "wall-riding", use Nitrous to exit the corner quickly

You should be able to win against Marcus King easily if you do all of these steps correctly.

I would never EVER use this cheap tactic in a Multiplayer race (if No Limits ever does have a Multiplayer function in the game). I would only just use this cheap tactic in a Single Player race.

If people do use this cheap tactic in a Multiplayer race with me, they can expect to get rammed and get sent sky high in the race (or even possibly get wrecked).

@HeretikJirka I don't have any problems on the corners in races, especially Marcus King's race. I just drift while using Nitrous to power through a corner. 😛

 I always try my best not to make contact with any walls because "wall-riding" isn't my style. If I do make wall contact during a race, then I do make wall contact during a race. Nothing I can do about it.

Are you still having trouble with Marcus King's races? If you are, then you can do the "wall-riding" tactic to ease your troubles when racing Marcus King. 😉

For Koenigsegg CCX having a Medium difficulty when attempting to race Ajax, my picture shows a complete different story.
