nads Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 (edited) whoa congrats! Mind sharing ur strategy? No Problem! This game is all about timing, when to hit the shift at the correct stage of the race. The below is what I see is the range to hit 5.57 and will almost always get you under the 6 second mark. With all the below inputs they need to be short sharp Shifts, a quick tap left it does take a lot of practice. I do look at the ingame timer to help me to shift, but after awhile you will develop a rhythm and it will become second nature The Start will always have be at 0.03 seconds The shift from 1st to 2nd gear has a range of 0.23 to 0.36 seconds The shift from 2nd to 3rd gear has a very small range it can only be 0.96 or 1.00 second flat ( If you don't hit one of these you cant get the 5.57 and is also right at the back-end of your Tach, which means the engine can blow ) The shift from 3rd to fourth can be between 1.73 and 1.80 seconds The first Shift in 4th gear has a good range in between 2.37 and 2.53 seconds ( I'm Generally in the 2.50 to 2.53 window ) The second shift in 4th gear is Critical. It only has 2 inputs, 2.87 or 2.90 seconds ( Again if miss this you have no chance, I find this the hardest of all to hit regularly) The 3rd shift in 4th gear has some room to move, between 3.20 to 3.34 seconds ( After this Shift the rest need to be at a 0.3 increment i.e. 3.23 the next would 3.54 then 3.84 ) The 4th shift in 4th gear as above has room, between 3.44 and 3.64 seconds ( continue with the 0.3 increments ) The 5th shift in 4th gear continues to have a good range to hit anywhere from 3.77 to 3.94 seconds ( now we are getting close to top speed! ) Now the Dragster is hurtling down the track all there is left to do is engage the clutch so the engine doesn't blow. Hearing the high pitch of the engine is a good indication on when to pull left and hold on Joystick ( This freezes the speed until you hit the finish line. ) Which is in the range of 4.67 to 4.77 seconds If done correctly it looks a little like this, The downside however is what the call a "Seed" which means these inputs may only result in a 1 in 8 chance of a 5.57. Worst case scenario is you will hit 5.61 seconds ( Is that really a bad thing? ) Good Luck! Edited August 2, 2018 by nads 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for Grand Prix, you just remember the pattern for 35 seconds. Just keep playing until you know where the cars will be. Good luck.
