    Same has happened to me with a different guy though. They leave the line like hacker, but not long after they taper out and I can almost run them down to within about 1-2 seconds over the course of a two lap race... but that advantage off the line is just too much to make up....you are lucky to loose only what you did ... I lost 7 because my guy was a fair amount under my rank...happened twice too.... Curious to see what anyone has to say.


    Welcome first... I like you thoughts, but as much as they piss me off when I make the mistakes of letting others close enough to knock me out....it is part of the game and one day when you have a car right in front of you and they are either a threat to bet you or flat out just in the way...you will see that knock out or get knocked out it has its place. I wish it could be refined some, but who knows what would happen to it if it was messed with so maybe just best left alone. I would not mind seeing an other mode for your idea though.

    You will be good man like Dark said... I know that the Agera is needed for stars but I just dont like that car...the Huayra is a better car and on most tracks can take the Agera..If not for the Lykan I feel it is the best car in S class..I still like it better for the lack of freak explosions, but the Lykan is just too much for it to handle...the Agera is too slow off the line IMO.....:)

    I would gladly give you mine if I could :)

    Cups/Tourney

    Did the P1 Cup. Limited myself to three runs (because frame-rate issues with all China tracks makes it a chore), wretched results. But I got to thinking: Might be fun to offer a cup/tourney but limit the attempts. So. let's say it's on one of the new tracks, but you just get three shots and that's it. A different way to gauge ability of the players: How fast can you get up to speed?

    That wouldnt go over so well, especially considering people have to warm up to an event, not to mention the randomness of traffic. Most people wouldnt even do their best run.
    Yeah i just found another guy, it has to be hacking. That RuthPatt guy in the picture, too bad he is a terrible driver.

    Btw, im number 2 with 1:09:248. Definitely getting closer. Something i notice is that its like the game gives me a easy time then it gives me a hard time even though im doing the exact same thing. Like for instance, i was struggling to get under 1:09:368 but once i beat it, for like 5 runs straight i got less than that. After that, i couldnt even sniff 1:09:368.

    I hear you, I have felt the some at times my self.

    And congrats!!!!!!

    I gotta know one thing because the one time split you gave I am beating it by a full second....but cannot get this last corner down no matter what and I am fine with that. But when you pass the last traffic on coming car what is that time split? the one right before you enter the last S turn series..


    Thanks bud!


    Edit: did that guy take off like that with out the nitro starter to boot? That would have to be a hack of some kind then I feel.

    Dark, that an insane time on the p1 challenge, almost .08

    Something funny while I was looking at the leaderboard. The ONLY in the Brit in the top 100 happens to be a Chinese_steph .....lol

    One thing you mentioned earlier, there may be some truth in the matter....

    I would do a number of laps to hit optimum times. Once I achieve a decent time ( possible at my skill level ) in that session, I find I cannot come anywhere close to it despite improving techniques ( more bottles, tighter turns...etc ) and at times a great run would be end by strange occurrences, car blows up on landing, on road ! skids of track for no reason and hits walls, drift will not initiate despite pressing...etc. I don't know if there is any settings in the game causing this, fatigue, or just my imagination. I really doubt the latter....

    Anyone else find this happening or shed some light on the matter...? Turbo, I know you mentioned this also...

    Long-time player/reader, first-time poster. Signed up to say a few things, but first and foremost, good luck tomorrow, Dark. I'd love to see you hit 1:08. That said, the 1:09.248 you're posting now is a testament to your skill and determination. Maaad props, bro!

    Seriously Dark, how are you doing this in the M1 tourney? I just beat my old time by a little and am now in the top 50 in the world but I'm still over a half second behind you. There's less than 70 people in the world who have less than a 1:10 yet you are nearly a full second better than that. It's insane. Mad props bud!

    Should I use the Countach, Aston Martin DB9 Coupe, Survolt, or Maserati GranTurismo Sport for the (Venice forward) Junior B-Class Cup? I don't have any of them maxed out and I need to know which one to max out for it.

    I've constantly been having trouble getting in to play Multiplayer the last few days. When I attempt to Join Room, it keeps showing me the "Request timed out. Please check your connection or try again later." message even though my Internet connection is perfectly fine. It also says, "Network Error" when I attempt to look at the Leaderboard for the Cup Events.

    Yeah, idk what that is about, hopefully i get that good lap time again. I would say there has to be something in the game, i dont think fatigue has anything to do with it. I used to believe that. I thought that once you run something so many times, the game doesnt run it at optimal settings anymore.

    I have definitely seen your name only a couple times lately. A few times you've given me a challenge. And thank you.
    Those last 3 turns are crucial. The best way i can describe doing the last S curve is hitting the the first corner really close and drift at the last second before you get the yellow bottle, triple boost till you almost hit the big pole on the left of the bridge then micro drift immediately then triple boost immediately. The last turn is extremely difficult and i cant really explain it but you should be far enough away from the right wall but close enough to it to not drive through the water on the left before you drift close to late.

    The Survolt should be used, its the fastest one. Max it out. Its also a few good multiplayer car when maxxed out.

    Try restarting your device, that normally helps me. If it doesnt, contact gameloft and maybe they can help you.

    Hmm, I've been holding off maxxing out the Survolt so that I don't have to race against faster cars and better racers, and instead selectively upgrading my Survolt so that I can still race against inferior cars. Which of the remaining cars (Countach, Aston Martin DB9 Coupe, or Maserati GranTurismo Sport) would you recommend for that track?

    Stop toying with my heart, JMart! Having the M1 in the game would be awesome, and it would go well with the Countach and the upcoming Testarossa.

    (This tournament, unfortunately, is about the P1.)

    My bad. The M1 would be sick though. I'm also oddly excited for whenever we get to race for the truck. Seems badass!

    I past the finishline around 1:08:900 but ended up with 1:09:258. That keeps happening because of lag otherwise i would have been reached 1:08. I think im done with it. I might do a couple more runs tomorrow but im almost for sure im done. Getting 1:08 has a little luck involved and i guess im not lucky enough. Im very disappointed, wish i could have a least gotten 1st place. I've let myself and everyone else down. Atleast I tried my best.

    If i was to estimate how much i spent on this tourney, i would say 5-6 million.
