    Haha nice pic of everyone lined up :) pity for me I'm on the bottom tho lol, although I only had one attempt so should improve today. Are you guys sticking with the focus? Does it have better nitro duration or something like that coz I thought it was slower?

    I know it's not really how most of you guys here like to play it but I've reached the point in multiplayer where I'll go out of my way to make as many knockdowns as possible lol, it's just win-win with the nitro boost and keeping your competitors as far behind as possible.

    It looks like you're using horizon tilt? I tried it for a while when I first started playing events and things like that but found it too off putting, do you think you benefit much from it? I tried my twitch again last night and still doesn't work, might upgrade my internet package for more speed, I've noticed a lot of little things with it lately and I think this is probably why twitch doesn't work too. It's odd because when I played a lot on the PSN my test speed always came up quite high in comparison to my friends.

    Great times as always Hung :) that barrel under the bridge on Nevada kills me, I've ruined so many good laps with it lol. Might try to drop my sensitivity a little again today for this cup, the tuatara felt a little twitchy in the 2 runs I had last night, haven't used it much since I bought the venom!

    I hope you don't mind I posted your biome video here yesterday too before you got a chance!

    Hey Dave,

    I will not stick with the Focus, I'll use the Urus. I fail miserably in the tunnel when running out of Nitro, can't stop wiggeling properly always hit something! BTW you have the same time as Julia has 21.147. That was the exact time I had in the morning before I got into 1:20.ish, I also was tied with her! Hang on are you GC friend with juliamariko? Maybe not as you are not on twitch so you cannot see that you both are tied!

    I give the view a shot on the weekend, plenty of time for me to do some racing! I had most of my settings as they were from the beginning until H€IS€NBERG introduced me to change steering sens. I'm a total noob! #

    Made a video of my attempt to copy Hungs time but always fail to do the last turn in the tunnel, any suggestions? Still can improve in the beginning I hit the Tuatara from behind and hit the wall after the barrel under the bridge. Maybe another .300 possible without the last turn.

    No I don't have her on my list, will maybe send a request and reference you in my message :)

    With regards to the last corner in Nevada, I used to make a mess of it all the time but I've recently had some success by starting the drift earlier than I naturally would, right around the time you are level with the final oncoming traffic car before the green truck just around the corner. If your nitro has been managed correctly up to that point you shouldn't need to go as far as the yellow bottle. This allows you to get triple boosting on the inside of the green truck and pretty sure it gains a little time. My time isn't too bad so far but made a couple of errors and also flat spinned over the bridge instead of barreling under as it was my first attempt and just wanted to put a safe lap time down to get started.

    Edit: I should have watched your video before commenting lol, that last car I was talking about, go on the outside of it and start the drift just as it is right in front of you, I noticed you tried to go inside it but that doesn't allow you enough drift to get back around in time to get inside the green truck. Watch Hung's video at that point, he does it there. You mentioned also about bumping the wall after the bridge, it seems to have a slight knock on effect on your nitro as you are entering the tunnel it's not full. Try to do a low single barrel on one of the jumps before the drop down to the tunnel instead of flat jumping over them and that should get you full nitro and ready to triple right through the tunnel, the near misses and drifts in it should then keep you going until the end.

    Oh, sorry. Hi Motoraway!

    Anyhow I made some progress: I received a not-standard answer:

    "Das Rating am Ende eines Rennens hängt von Ratings anderer Rennfahrer ab. Also, wenn sie gegen anderer Spieler mit höherem Rating sowie gegen Spieler mit niedrigerem Rating spielen, kann das Resultat weder steigen, noch verringern."

    Although their answer is wrong (those in cc do not know how the algo works - LOL), I would say this is a first success.

    Nice runs, esp. Nevada. In C-Cup my time is near to yours (1:20.487), but American Cup I have to improve (1:06.629).

    Which type of control are you using? (Sounds weird for me, maybe incorrect English)

    Thanks Dave, your advice helped a lot. Now it's putting the little pieces together. I want my 1:05.high on this track.

    I recorded a run which was slightly better time wise but had some edges, and I took too wide turns. But I definitely know now how to go through the tunnel. I was way too early with my drifting plus I only do one drift in the tunnel.

    Now I know what you were referring to with your barrels, I just wasted 5 bars to the barrel under the bridge, 1 1/2, 2 1/2 even no barrel shooting straight up in the air into the bridge, I've seen it all! ###

    Hey Zeremoniar, seems we have almost the same times in Amerika Cup, I'm on 1:06.689, but have to improve with the urus my tunnel driving is really poor! What position are you on in Amerika? I'm on 175.

    Android is also slower, for me it is place 76. But now I'm down to 6.184 - still no .5.X. Anyhow, everything between 2 and 250 is worth the same. GL was again clever promissing 10 Chryslers (which is already hard) - but they splitted it even into several cups only for the first or second. Beside huge skills you also need luck. By the way, congrats to eric! Nice to hear that no stupid hacker won that car.

    It is really not clear for me if those always better iOs times are due to higher framerate or more skilled drivers on iOs. Has anyone played on both platforms under comparable conditions?

    No problem :) I'm telling you some tips and you're half a second ahead of me anyway lol! Those barrels are really ruining me, although I've only had a few runs at it I'm still wrecking there most laps. Will hopefully get a lot in tonight, I like the 1 fuel bar a lot, I don't know why they don't do it more often for these nothing cups. 2-3 fuel bars for a race with no significant prizes doesn't really make any sense. Speaking of nothing prizes, I see there's a generous 1 extra tank in the weekend rose of the desert cup too lol....

    No it's the America cup or something like that, all American cars I assume as its different classes, I haven't really looked lol as I just immediately picked the tuatara. I'm actually in the uk but no London cup lol, or regional leaderboard for that matter, it's worldwide.

    How come I only see Intermediate C-Class Cup and American Cup?
    There isn't any London event on my device...
    Which flag does it show you on the cup next to "Leaderboard Rewards" sign?

    It shows the American flag. The event takes place on the London track. Does that mean it's only in the United states ? Didn't realize it meant it's for a specific county so when that blue globe looking flag means world wide then lol
