The "correct" way to use nitro and drift
I am trying to win the hunter race in chapter 17 (event 9, Track Down) where the opponent is a Ferrari Italia and I've lost about 20 races so far. Now my car has a better PR (862 vs 847) so there mus...

Hunter races are always the most difficult ones.
I had one at Chapter 11 just before the boss race. Really wanted to get to Chapter 12 and was getting very frustrated.
1. That race has a lot of turns. Drift them as the speed while drifting or turning is around the same.
2. Now you have a lot of Nitro, use them just at the exit of the drifts towards straights. Your car is already pointing straight at the end of the drift a little earlier than when you don't drift.
3. Don't hit anybody or anything as there are cops and traffic and lot of curves.
The toughest race for me so far. It was a medium for me with i having 20 more PR. This was even more frustrating as in tournaments i was winning even with 60 PR lesser on my car.
So basically Nitro is the most important part. Upgrade that first. 😇

I do not agree with this part of advice. Nitro is almost always the last part I upgrade. Reasons:
- both top speed and acceleration work with or without nitro (that is, whole race)
- both have much higher impact on cars PR, which means you sooner fulfill PR limits, if there are any
- it seems cars performance depends on total PR only and not on its parts
Anyway, the idea of finding the right way to drive is intriguing, so I started a new thread for your exploration on a given track: http://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Community-driven-Comparison-of-playing-styles/td-p/5317854/jump-to/first-unread-message
It would be nice if lots of people can join the fun and post their results.
