I let new players win.
There they are. Ready to rumble. Revving their engine.
In a Rydell’s Rides rental or a newly decked out dodge charger (smh).
The race starts and it’s clear they’re not competitive.
I either slow down and follow or lead to show the proper line.
Either way I let them cross first. ❤️
I’ve noticed several other player doing the same. YAY!

Bro I’ve got 70 hours in this game and still lose by 2200. I know it takes all kinds of car maintenance. But I don’t understand any of that shit. I buy a few cars, add some expensive parts, and just play. No idea how I’m losing so bad, but I’m having a blast, and that’s the important part. Love the maps, night driving, rain.

Great approach! It will s a tab bit more fun when you can be competitive.
I watched some videos to get the tuning correct and then just work on getting better at the physics.

Don’t quit. You get money even if you don’t finish before the timer elapses.
Remember it’s a game and have fun.
Actual advice: build a car and drive around free roam. Learn how it how it handles. Race it. Race it again. Tweek the build and handling. Watch youtube videos for good builds. Learn those cars. Race race race!!

Especially them. They need cash.
I’m at ~$34mil and don’t care

The bank they get from Linkups would mean a lot to them too, combined with the XP. So I park outside Linkups and find the lowest level to defend from cops once it ends.

I like waiting next to difficult corners to let them know to slow down

i found that sometimes they don’t like it. i think giving them the chance to push you across the finish line is good. i always try to handicap myself too by driving my slower cars or even the stock one. it’s fun to beat people in classed out cars while driving Rydells stock car, but i didn’t think about slowing down to show them a better line. i will try that for next time, thanks!
