    Very good. I also thought about how it will improve with upgrades. At present it is no fear for any other TOP S class car and for its extreme high price it should have outstanding performance.

    I don't spend a lot of time these days running TLEs, but I'm sucking out loud with this car. Took a few runs N/TK and could only go 13.3 when should be 3 seconds faster. Glad I'm not the only one suffering in the "S" bends. I'm wondering if there's a better route — with folks in the 1:08s, etc.

    Alps Cup, ending 27JUL15 on Windows.

    I count 14 blatant and undeniable hackers, with at least two more really obvious instances.

    14 out of 25 + 25 cheaterboard = 39 top tier cheating winners and 11 (at most) legit winners.

    Gameloft is now awarding four times as many prizes to hackers as legit players.

    Fabien, this is out of control. Over HALF of the leaderboard (not counting cheaterboard) are NO QUESTION cheaters.

    As someone who placed in the 30s and would have made top 25, I am really annoyed.

    I got a few suggestions

    Please welcome me here. I've been playing the game on Android since summer of 2014 (I still play on my original device, a 2013 Nexus 7, due to the fact that my secondary device, my Nexus 5 phone, got broken due to constant self-restarts and memory leaks because of Android 5.1), and I still enjoy this game to this day. However, I've got several suggestions:

    1. This is of the utmost importance! All new tracks (San Diego Harbor, San Diego Harbor Rev., Sector 8, Sector 8 Reverse, Dragon Tree, Mount Teide, Cloud Nine, and Sky Drop) should be freely playable in both Quick Solo Race and Local Wi-Fi for these reasons:
    • 1. All players, even those who don't have access to either Car Mastery mode, Season 9 of Career mode, or the Exclusive Metal Events (which can be played on high-end iOS devices running iOS 8 or higher), shouldn't have to face cheaters, hackers, or unfair competition when wanting to play on these tracks.
    • 2. Also, players, both professionals and newcomers alike, should be able to practice these tracks any time they want, with whatever car and race mode they want. If players can practice these tracks freely, they will be more prepared for upcoming Time-Limited Events that may use one of these tracks.
    • 3. Players wanting to practice these tracks but have to go to a Time-Limited Event shouldn't have to waste fuel and time (and also boosters) looking for the best route, even if they can go on YouTube to find a video that shows the best route for the track they are playing on.
    • 4. It has been more than 3 updates since v1.6.0 (the San Diego Harbor update) and the San Diego Harbor tracks should already be available in Quick Solo Race and Local Wi-Fi, along with Sector 8 and Tenerife. v1.6.0 unlocked the Dubai tracks, while The Great Wall tracks have been unlocked since v1.3.0 or v1.4.0.

    2. The McLaren P1 and McLaren P1™ GTR should both receive more new decals. A suggested decal design would be a sky blue-and-orange one based on the Gulf livery of the Ford GT40 racing car (a similar decal was already present on the Ferrari 330 P4). Also, the McLaren P1™ GTR should have the regular P1's same sky blue color instead of a jade green color.

    3. Regarding the matter of changing the McLaren P1™ GTR's handling so it really handles and drifts better than its road-legal counterpart, I haven't played with the car yet, but these complaints are already discouraging me from wanting to get the car (since the McLaren P1 is my top favorite car). However, it really should be optimized for the better since the HTT Pléthore LC 750, 2015 Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Corvette C7, and Audi RS 4 Avant suffer from severe understeer during drifts.

    4. Regarding the matter of reducing the Ferrari 330 P4's rank, the suggested stats at MAX+PRO with Tuning Kit are below (sorry, I don't know how to calculate a car's rank based on its stats):

    • Acceleration: 2.60 s
    • Top Speed: 259.85 mph (418.36 km/h)
    • Handling: 1.390 Gs
    • Nitro: 30.37 mph (48.89 km/h)
    • Infected Top Speed: 312.40 mph (502.97 km/h)

    Below are its new stats without the Tuning Kit.

    • Acceleration: 2.97 s
    • Top Speed: 252.29 mph (406.18 km/h)
    • Handling: 1.376 Gs
    • Nitro: 28.16 mph (45.33 km/h)
    • Infected Top Speed: 302.63 mph (487.23 km/h)

    I used two decimal places for better accuracy. The game usually rounds these values up to the nearest tenth, while speed values during gameplay are displayed as whole numbers.

    4. Regarding Quick Solo Race, we should be able to select the number of laps for Classic, Versus, and Infected races, much like in multiplayer, regardless of the track's length.

    Haven't tried cloud7 event yet except one run with ns, but drove some rounds Monaco. One can get used to the car, but I needed one day for it. I am now able to make the Monaco turns without hitting the walls. But compared to other cars one really needs to find the correct point for starting the drift, when to make the micro drifts and so on. Small mistake and you will touch the border and slow down drastically. So possible, but hard and needs some training. I expect that I have to take several rounds on each track to find out how to drive it without touching walls in the curves (I think in some curves one will be not able to avoid it with the car on that level). By sure the other TOP S class cars are much easier to handle.

    It's tragic/hopeless. Looks like your suggested tunnel route is the way to go, but took two runs last night and I was total garbage — like a rag doll in a dryer. I'm going in directions I didn't even know existed — like a "Best of ... Crash" HectorX video.

    I'm marginally better than I was a couple of days ago. the trick (apparently) is to keep it as close to the middle/bottom as possible, this avoids the massive drops in speed resulting from hitting the high spots either side. my other problem is exiting (a) without wrecking and (b) collecting the yellow nitro.

    all theoretical fine. it's doing the do that doesn't seem to be happening for me yet. down to 1:11.7 ST with a not-too-sloppy run, but I've given up for a few days, putting some blood, sweat and tears into the MPE, aiming for top 4k, so no lofty ambitions.

    Wow, the N°10's name is rather offensive. I wonder why that guy's insulting another player like that ? :confused:

    I feel ya. Seems like even a good run ST might not translate to even better results with ET — too many variables to truly be consistent (or, say, consistent like you might be with a track like Alps or B-lona). And I'm old school tilt steer and the "wheel" men might have a better go. BTW, I don't post on the official A8 site, but I read it. I think you're on that one quite a bit (I could be wrong).

    guilty as charged. they're a pretty good bunch over there, not too formal, we like to have a laugh. I'm also on g+, they've got themselves a decent set up, good mods. both active communities, without the noxious bickering that goes on on FB (well, not too much, we do poke fun at certain...groups sometimes).

    yes, it's very much a case of getting the caves right, and if you're running ET, so much the better. will I ET? maybe but I doubt it. is the outside chance I'd make the top 100, and with only 15 cars on offer...no way. but I'm safe for top 4k as is, so I'd only be doing it to see what time I could get. I'm tilt/steer, tried the mini-wheel a few times (abysmally), and couldn't go back to button pushing now, enjoying tilt/steer too much, works well with a8, really responsive.

    Iceland today. at least the caves there are more familiar.

    Anyone else had an issue with pro upgrades not syncing. I just lost a v12 and some advanced which went from my inventory and never appeared on the car.

    I've not heard of parts going missing after upgrading, but there have been problems with pro-kits and syncing since 22nd. best report it.

    As there is often only negative feedback, I want to give some good feedback now.

    - The lag problem has been drastically reduced in the new version (at least for me)
    - The improvement of the card system: More mid-techs as prices for good drivers and the increase of drop rate of engine cards in the boxes. The latter encourages me now to buy boxes as one gets more needed cards than just tons of part cards.

    Good work!

    Well, since I am one of those who have been delivering the negative feedback, mostly because I have been unable to play for more than a week, let me add:

    Love the new update, and especially the Mastery path. I've been engrossed in going through my car inventory and completing all the races possible. I'm Pro'ing cars (or would if I could) that I never expected to in order to win licenses, and because engine and mid-level tech card shortages have eased thanks to the updates Zeromoniar noted.

    Token videos came back for a while, which was also helpful, though they have disappeared for the time being with all the other issues I've been experiencing.

    Was not meant offensive. I also made a lot of negative feedback. But our intention is to help to improve :)

    Mastery I forgot to mention as good point, thanks for mentioning. Also I was waiting for new single carrer races. Prices are also nice. :D
