Talk:Redline: Origins/@comment-31335392-20170617193257

I just completed ‘Redline Origins’ this afternoon. Took me about a day and a half, so if you have free weekend time you should have no problem. I upgraded the car to PR 61 (1212112), R$ only…I probably could have done it with less upgrades but I didn’t want to struggle with lack of top speed, etc.

‘Redline Origins’ is FAR easier than the recent special events like ‘One:1’ and ‘Rennsport Redefined’.

Regarding settings: I turned steering sensitivity to 1, as the car is pretty responsive. No TC, and I usually had brake assist off and steering assist at low. For the no-skid events, you might try TC on. It took me a few races to understand the car’s tendencies, but after that it was a breeze. I won almost every race on the 1st attempt.

As others have commented, slowing the bots down early in the event is key and will make the event MUCH more manageable. In stages 1 and 2, in the Cup and H2H events, block the cars behind you as much as possible to slow the field down – worked like a charm. And use the classic ‘win-by-small-margins’ technique to further dumb the bots down. By the time I was in the mid to upper stages, the only bots I was seeing are some of the slowest in the game like Turnipage, Aaron Doyle, Batliner, etc. I usually drive in Bonnet View but for this event I drove in Chase View so I could see the field better -- which helped with blocking, spinning out opponents, and avoiding contact/collisions (when that was a race condition).

Re offline vs. online – I mostly played online except for the endurance events where offline gives you a much lower target. And I was often able to win many races with the car totally unserviced.

Most of the events are short 1 and 2 lap races, with small fields of 1, 3, or 5 opponents.

The toughest race for me was Stage 7.2 (stay just ahead of the opponent, no further than 55 yds). It was deceptively tricky and took me 8 or 9 tries to complete. However, you’ll know pretty quickly that you’ve failed, so you can just hit a quick ‘Retry’. It wasn't until I got the lowly Batliner as an opponent that I was able to win.

Lastly, I’d HIGHLY recommend hiring the Agent and Manager for the last event (7.6), which pays nicely. With agent and mgr my R$ payout was $392,110 and my Fame payout was 57,200.

Good Luck! It’s actually a pretty fun event…and the Ferrari 375 F1 is a well-balanced, cool car to drive when upgraded with R$.
