Talk:No Compromise/@comment-26942592-20160707070719

Update from an iOS user -

8.5 took about a dozen retries @91.3 PR (with upgrades 3333233). The good thing is it wasn't frustratingly difficult! Failures were because of my bad driving/off-tracks and NOT because of overly fast bots.

The goal was to beat Zoé at 5:30 (i.e. 330 seconds). Around the 8th/9th retry, I completd the first lap in 1:27 and subsequent 2 laps at around 1:18 each, so I figured I needed at most 319-20 seconds to win the race (with at least 10 seconds to spare). Once this was clear, I took it easy--relatively speaking--and completed the race without breaking much sweat in a couple more attempts. Could have done it in about 10 tries, but I tried to get a few screenshots while racing and the 'overconfidence' cost me two/three more attempts!! :p)

 





 



For those of us still racing for the car....

Even with a high PR, a good start is an absolute must for 8.5. Weave past the traffic through the first lap. As long as you can make it to 4th/5th position by the end of lap 1, the rest is about keeping your head and racing clean (easier said than done, i know ;p] ). Good luck!

 P.S. I initially raced with zero assists, then later changed to High Steering (other assists off) to minimize off-tracks.



 A big 'thank you' to all trailblazers for helping the latecomers with tips/advice! :)
