Talk:Ride The Storm (v5.2.0)/@comment-31616906-20170424225448

like many others, I also found 7.5 to be really really hard, even with moderate bot management (didn't deliberately lose but slowed bots and won by small margin prior to 7.5).

To complete 7.5 you need to practice a lot where to pit all opponents and how to slide into the finish line by losing enough speed but not too much so they overtake you.

I eventually completed that stage with R$ upgrades only, here is how: the accaleretaion of the car is quite good compared to the others so the 3rd car you can pit right after the start (right around when you hit 100 km/h). Then dive to first place by braking late in the first corner. I then let one car to get side of me and pit that in 3rd corner (slight left hander, pitting it to the right into the barriers so it had to reverse to get back to the track). I then stayed in the first place by holding up a single car (one car you can easily hold up, trouble comes when you have multiple oppenents at your rear bumper) all the way till the main straight. Not too far from the finish line, I opened the door on my left and then once the second car was half a car lenght besides me I closed the door - as a result of that, I was sliding toward the finish line losing speed rapidly, with my front bumpers touching the barriers on the left hand side and also holding up the second car. Lukckily the 3rd and 4th cars were just further back enough that they didn't manage to overtake us during this manouver and slowed down enough by sliding sideways to complete the goal

Good luck everyone, don't give up - I almost did.

After that, 7.6 was much easier, opponents are still faster, but you can stay ahead by cutting corners.
