    In times, there's no big difference IMO, but for what's after, there is a slight difference: if you go to the left, it will be easier for you to take down more fences near the yellow bottle, after said fork.

    As long as you get to that first gold bottle by 14.8 or so, it doesn't matter which side you're on. Leading up to that, it does matter when you hit the AIs. Hit them all at once, and it does little to help nitro — a full tank is a full tank. Hit one, then another, then another, then another with gaps to allow for nitro depletion/fill-up appears to be the most effective way — one that allows you to get to the 38-second mark (the entrance to the second tunnel) having run nitro the entire time.

    well since you are first, its a perfect lap, but IMO the s turns could be improved, i think the first one was perfect because of the camera view change. if all 3 turns have that, then i think its perfect because it means the car is literally scrapping the side. congrats man, the mercedes is yours for sure. thats my thoughts

    Yikes, I had no idea. And neither did Tano, I guess. :D

    It's also interesting that you're only mentioning this now — we've been talking about our secondary accounts for months. In my defense, though, I've never tried to get a limited TLE reward with more than one account at a time. And I've never done sock puppet multiplayer races either.

    Multiplayer WITHOUT KNOCKOUTS would be awesome (as an option)

    I looooove A8 but there is something that constantly ruins the multiplayer experience - knock outs by other players!!!

    I don't mean the crushes on rocky walls on the side, they make sense. But the nitro-supported knock outs are just taking the fun out of the gameplay. i have played for a lot of time, earning more than 3 million credits just by racing. I relish in races with others racers, braking and drifting at the right point, blocking paths just in time, fighting wheel to wheel from curve to curve and master the nitro game... especially when my competitor has a higher ranked car!

    However many of my games I spend just limiting damage from am early knockout. Some idiot crashes me from behind instead of skillfully overtaking me in the crowd at the start or just lets me explode with a nitro touch - incredible!! Now I keep swiftly overtaking a couple of cars over the next minute or two with the hope to land on at least on third or second spot to not sink in rank.

    I try to avoid this by using the Citroen Survolt with maxed out top-speed and nitro but it still happens very often.

    It's not about driving, it's just about destroying someone else's race. It's
    not really fun anymore when improvement goes through 'how to crash other cars best?' I know how to do it efficiently by now but I hate to have to defend myself this way as long as its a common tool. The game becomes boring in in higher ranks where an opportunity to knock one out is is always taken.

    A8 is so intuitive to play on my iPad but this issue turns me off.

    I'm sorry to say it like that,but if you're not winning with a booster then you're not driving well or you're driving the wrong routes

    Well, like it or not, this is how it works. Avoid getting knocked down is also a skill. The most annoying part is though, that now there is only one-lap in multiplayer, which makes it impossible to catch up with the others once knocked down

    "the nitro-supported knock outs are just taking the fun out of the gameplay."

    I totally agree, and the racing would be better without the knockouts. But, that's the game. At the least, it would be good if it took a bit more of a hit to knock someone out. As is, if you breathe on a car, it dies (especially if you have an upgrade booster and your foe doesn't. If you're getting hit from behind in the Survolt, you might have to run the extra nitro and triple-boost the start. At least 90 percent of the time, a good start is the biggest part of taking a win.

    guys, 2 interesting ideas just came out of my mind:D First is, I think it would be nice if in TLE's was some reward for the fastest unboosted time.
    Another idea is a TLE 'LeMans' style which would consist of lots of laps, like 10 or even 24 (!!!) for example. Or 'rush hour TLE' with really heavy traffic ;) imagine racing on venice or monaco with streets full of cars :D

    Finally! I'm back to 1800 class, curious is on 2100 coming in 2nd only -3 points? I thought it deduction is harsh:confused:.

    @Cyqurayte, what makes A8 cool is the various knockdowns, and is not easy to do that. High rank drivers doesn't mean they are superior in Knockouts, as i often being knocked out by lower rank cars at the start:(

    Hey Ryan, apparently this dude still has a lot of accounts in the new Mercedes event (with same names but different nationalities/icons though).

    What also stroke me was that each of his accounts had lv85 and 10m credits or so. I suspect he transferred his local user file to his other accounts.
    Really hope you can do something against this.

    Are you, for the most part, having pretty good luck going out in MP without the extra tank? And, if you're playing the Mini, how often do you win and not get any points?

    Mostly were boring race, once in a while there are good drivers that put up really good race(1600+). I don't use Extra Tanks, wasting and not fun to race with. I switched back to Mini couple of days ago and quite comfortable with it. Regarding the points system, i believe 1700++ drivers need to race with at least 7 other drivers(amateur) in order to gain 1 point. 6 and below mostly u won't get any points, unless there is at least 1 driver who is 1400+ then u get 1 point. Try not to play in a race that is 4 drivers and below, if finish 2nd penalty is harsh, unless u sure that u can get 1st:)

    Sorry about my English:(

    The MP points system is totally random, you can win a close race and get nothing or come second in the same race and lose anything between 2 and 15 points, Whoever wrote the algorithm for the points system was having a laugh because no one has ever been able to understand it.
    I raced the other day for 2 hours and only got given one point although I won all the races apart from one which I came second but that was against TAnoSaysF@$k whatever, and even though he is ranked 200 above me I lost 8 points.??

    How Tano keeps gaining points is beyond me, he got 3 for beating me (just and he was at the front of the grid and I was at the back) but if I don't get any in 20 races how is his weekly gain possible? He seems to have left his drone accounts behind and even if he beats a 1800 ranked car he shouldn't get any points based on what I receive.
    Also I was forced back to racing Minis as all the other rooms I entered were struggling to fill up to 4 racers, Is MP Dying on it feet due to the new update and the concentration on TLCs?
