Try doing the drags offline. Stay in first gear. Then instead of retry, end race and go back to select event. Lose another drag race. Repeat process, repeat, repeat. Sometimes you'll see a time go down, that bot just got a faster car, it happens from time to time. Just keep going until it gets a good slow time. I shoot for a difference of 3/4 to1 second difference in what the opponent started at and finished at. That should make a huge difference in the other events. Just stay offline to do the endurance too. Your new distance will double if you sign on. And as soon as you hit that number 1 marker, stop and just let the timer run out. From this point on, try to win by very small margins. If you mess up and win by a large distance, just go back and do a few more drags.

I just started a new series on my second game and the target distance for one of the endurance races was over six miles. I quit the event, went back to the drags for slowing. My opponents time first race was 12.2xx. after about six or seven losses, the opponent time was 12.9xx. so when I went back to the endurance event my target distance was two miles even. I had slowed the bots so much I no longer had to even service the car until I finally went back to actually win the drag race.

I can't think of any reason it wouldn't work. Please understand, the small time gain in the drags makes a much bigger time difference in all the other races because it has more of an effect on the bots going around curves. Sometimes they'll go so slow you'll think they're stopping. Are using Android? There's only one track bot slowing does really work on, and that's Daytona speedway. I think most of the slowing is determined by steering wheel position. Since the steering wheel doesn't have to be turned much on that track because of the banking it rarely slows the bots down much.

Anyway, good luck, and happy racing,

Randy

Thanks Randy I'll give it a go but my teammates say if they do a speed snap and lose the speed comes down, I think I've managed this once, and I've tried retrys and continues and it doesn't affect my enduro distance either, most seem to be able to do it wherever but it's rare for me to find one that works, I'll try the offline stuff and see.
