Tips for the notorious 4.4

- Most players report that "R$ upgrade only" car doesn't have sufficient acceleration to keep up on straights. I have spent a tiny amount of GC for some upgrades (19/31 - PR 49.1) and I didn't have that problem. If you insist on not spending any GC, you might need to keep retrying(which is actually retire>continue>re-start the event) till the default opponent "Kranger" changes into a TSM bot who is a bit slower.

- Keep in mind that very soft collision is allowed to some extent, so do not fear touching the opponent's rear bumper.

- Avoid overtaking at all cost. If your front wheel precedes the opponent's rear wheel(not the front wheel) the game is over.

- Brake with multiple gentle touch, not one hard press. Try to slow down with just not touching the gas.

- The Golden rule is "release the brake when he releases". Usually players will fail because they hold onto brakes after the opponent finished braking. Watch his tail light and concentrate on releasing your brake 'as soon as the red light goes off'.

- If you fail, don't restart right away, and instead continue to watch and try to memorize all braking points of the opponent. Distinguish 'fake' braking points from real ones. Sometimes they slightly touches the brake without significant deceleration. If you press on brake at those points, it might be dangerous.

- Unserviced cars will not work.
