    To be honest, it wasnt really an exciting race, i had the nitro booster and was 2nd on the starting grid so i was always ahead of him(i could see him on the map though), and my car rank was just that tiny bit ahead of his, so we were pretty much the same distance apart for most of the race. Hopefully I can race another top 20 leaderboard player without boosts and see what happens :D

    On another topic, you know how you guys say on nevada, the big jump in the middle slows you down right(if theres traffic, near miss is better)? But what if you flat spinned off that ramp at a low angle, so you barely left the ground. Would that be faster? I think i tried it once but i wrecked

    I am goinng to agree and disagree with ya bro ;)

    The Lykan is not better than the Tautara...... I agree.... but I am glad to see that it is super close and given the two drivers are equal I think the Tuatara wins the race....but....the stats do lie like many others do.

    Now for the Lykan comments...
    A while ago I would have agreed hands down, but they fixed all that for me man. I think the Lykan is a better and far more repeatable performer in the handling department IMO....overall look at the results in recent TLE's...guys like Tano are proving that it is a very close race...Trust me that is hard to think I am saying the Lykan solid, but it is true....I am not a big fan of the Tautara but I do use it because it is a shade better in lap times....but in multi I would take the Lykan in a heart beat and roll those dice for sure. Because they are that close and the Lykan is easier to run fast laps in...the only way you beat a Lykan in that car is to start pushing it hard and then it wants to wreck you too :cool:

    Hmm, I found an issue about broadcast on my iDevice - iPad mini 2.
    After 3-5 minutes, the broadcast is interrupted but my connection is good.
    Who explains about this issue?

    I would love to know Ryan's opinion, not Gameloft_Ryan's opinion... ;)

    Lykan Hypersport Vs SSC Tuatara
    >> PERFORMANCE + HANDLING <<

    By the way...

    Lykan Hypersport weight: 1,380 kg
    SSC Tuatara weight: 1,250 kg

    How much does a maxed out Tuatara cost? 950k for the car... And the upgrades? I've got 550k atm.

    I played almost 5 hours of MP with my Dodge Dart this morning and managed to finish first in every single race, winning me a little over 800k in total (after buying the boosters prior to racing, I was down to zero credits). I should be good to buy the Tuatara by tomorrow. I really hope this car's worth it; the rankings on the Monaco Masters suggest otherwise. There are plenty of Lykans alongside the Tuataras. Perhaps it's better suited for a track that isn't completely flat.

    Was your Dart maxed out? If it was, can't believe you made it that long without a loss to a Caddie.

    It is maxed out. With a few exceptions, I kept being pitted against beginners, none of whom were using both boosters. I had 4 close calls against a player in the 1300s (who also was using a maxed Dart), but I managed to outlast him every time. Due to recent disconnection problems, my MP rating had dropped down over 100 points to 1384, but by the end of today's gaming session (disconnection-free, finally!) I was back up to 1518.

    The tuatara thrives most in intense drifting situations, like the three hairpins in Monaco. That is where the tuatara gets it's advantage. Otherwise, it does well whenever nitrous is not available. Lykans stink when out of nitrous. Mind you, the only tracks where that might happen are the Iceland tracks, and you can sort of avoid that problem.

    I have also noticed that the tuatara gains a big advantage from the extra max speed on downward jumps and the "overspeed" effect from hitting a triple while landing from a jump.

    I've personally find Tuatara way better than Lykan, that car is AMAZING.

    Better handling, better top speed, the car weight seems affects the jumps, where Tuatara lands first. Thanks for that, do a barrel roll can be hard, because we get the wreck where we're safe with Lykan. For my personal taste Tuatara reminds me the Sesto, but obviously much more quicker. In those tracks where we need top speed than acceleration, Tuatara has no match. Maybe 950kk is too high for a price (luckily I've saved 1 million before), but she deserve the n*1 top beast title, hands down.

    P.S. Gameloft,I'm still waiting for the McLaren P1 on Windows 8:mad:

    Welcome...:D

    To help it will be best if you give your route so I/we can tell you were you need to alter it.

    From seeing your time you have I can say that just making some lines tighter should get you in the mid to high 22's particularly in the S turns...there is a bunch of time in those puppies ;)

    Someone just uploaded a very fast (1:22.232) Tuatara Monaco run. He slightly bumps the wall in the last few seconds of the race, so that time could have been even faster.



    A maxed Tuatara obviously handles the crucial S turns MUCH more smoothly than the Lykan. He exits the second tunnel at around 36.5 seconds, which is the same performance I get with my Lykan during my best runs. But my Lykan loses a lot of speed during the S turns, so that by the time he exits the third tunnel at 56 seconds, he has almost a 2 second lead on my average time at that point in the race. (Also, the advertised 518km/h speed is such a joke. A Lykan goes almost 30km/h slower, yet it manages to stay neck-and-neck with it during the straight portions of the race?!)


    I bought the Tuatara yesterday, but its stat are all still very low. Good thing I'll be getting about 250k in reward credits from the tourneys.

    Thanks! Driver 4118 :)
    You guys can compare Driver 4118's link with this one... Tuatara is far smoother and fast!

    Hmmm. I have to say that run is pretty sloppy/bad (he hit a car from behind instead of from the side; he drifted twice to make one turn; he touched the wall; he missed so many bottles), so it can't really be used for comparative purposes. But the most interesting part is that he needed to drift much longer than with the Tuatara during the S curve to put the car in a position not to smack the walls.

    It really does appear that three tighter turns is all that's needed to take off almost 2 seconds from one lap.

    I don't want to sound arrogant, but I take these hairspins slightly sharper with my Lykan, with a 30 cm gap or something.

    But back to the perfect time in monaco,
    I think there's a perfect moment to boost after taking a hairpin. There are 3 possibilities when you boost after a turn:
    1. You immediately stop drifting, but you also lose your boost, You have to triple boost again.
    2. Your boost stays, but there's a moment, when you're losing speed. Its about 50 km/h, more or less. (correct if it's wrong)
    3. Boost stays, no drifting and there's like a "kick".

    Can somebody confirm this? Im playing since the release and thats what I found out.

    Sorry for boring sentences, but english isn't my native language.
