I dont know if i am telling something new, or you already know.. We all know slowing down bots makes the game easier, but why, and what exactly happens? Well.. The game changes the duration of ingame seconds. Seconds get faster than realtime seconds when driving to your best abillities. Drive slower and seconds get slower.

i couldnt beat a time of 1:47 in the supercheap bratwurst timechallenge (5.4). drove the ultimate lap, only to get me a 1:47.1.., tried way to many times... then drove two really slow time challenges, 2:30 or something effectively 'slowing my seconds down'..

then tried the time challenge again, took it easy, in real time drove slower then before, but because the ingame seconds got slower i could easily get me a 1:46.3! leaving my ghost far behind. same car, even less effort.. which can only mean that measurement was different.. so the game has variable second duration...

i actually timed one of my first attempts on panorama mountain. the laptime on my realtime stopwatch was 8 secs slower than the time the game told me!!!

thats the reason why you always have to upgrade your car when you are doing your best. the game changes second duration and with that makes it impossible for you to get a goal. only upgrading can then get you better results, because that makes seconds slower again.. this goes for slow ánd fast racers, as long as you drive at your best.

so want to win a car? let go of your racer heart, drive under your abillities, slow the ingame seconds down, and give yourself playing room.. dont you just hate it when a racing game does that to you?! :(
