Rush Hour does not show up on my list of verified races. However I bookmarked it on the site then it worked under my bookmarked jobs.

data1b4 or DeftTrack81 can host a race there and invite you. Maybe that way you can "unlock" it.

When I'm in game the rush hour leaderboard doesn't come up. Doesn't even give me the option to look at it. Hopefully its still recording times.

With the DLC releasing this tuesday, it wouldn't be weird if we start experience some trouble on this. |

HOW THE HELL DO YOU BEAT TIMES THAT EASILY kennie22?!?!?! Well.. I just do it I guess. I spend time thinking about every corner, how to take it the best way possible. I will expand on this by discussing one corner. Bridge with tall stunt jump after left bend. Did you stay on the road and brake hard hoping not to hit the palm tree? After the bridge I went left over the driveway onto the grass and cut back onto road. I feel this gave more speed to carry through. This ties into the video from last month about apex of corner and hitting racing line wide. Curious if anybody else did that? Please share your thoughts. Every corner is an experiment and sometimes experiments fail, sometimes not. Think racing lines. Hope this helps. These forums are here to share tips and help each other out. |

Every corner is an experiment and sometimes experiments fail, sometimes not. Think racing lines. Hope this helps. These forums are here to share tips and help each other out. I'll take this race through each corner: 1. I broke early in order to cut over the small block in the intersection, more speed for next corner 2. I went across the pavement between the lamp posts 3. I went out to the far left and by releasing the gas for a second I could roll fast through it 4. same procedure as 3 5. (not really a corner, but where the small white signs on the road were I went across the pavement on the right, right of the lamp post) 6. I cut over the pavement having the lamp post on my right 7. (This is the corner you mentioned) I go out to the left, brake hard and cut the apex, this was a slow corner for me, didn't really figure out how to do it at speed. 8. This checkpoint I knew I had to be between 53-54 seconds to have a good lap, I stayed on the road avoiding the pavement as it could push out into the water. 9. This is the fast point where you could go at full speed through, so I did. 10. I pushed the brakes a bit, and when I cut the corner I just went over the red line of the pavement 11. Went wide through it carrying all of my speed with me And after the 11th corner I would reach the finish line on the bottom left side of the checkpoint. |

(not really a corner, but where the small white signs on the road were I went across the pavement on the right, right of the lamp post) ✓6. I cut over the pavement having the lamp post on my right X7. (This is the corner you mentioned) I go out to the left, brake hard and cut the apex, this was a slow corner for me, didn't really figure out how to do it at speed. ✓8. This checkpoint I knew I had to be between 53-54 seconds to have a good lap, I stayed on the road avoiding the pavement as it could push out into the water. ✓9.

Went wide through it carrying all of my speed with me ✓And after the 11th corner I would reach the finish line on the bottom left side of the checkpoint. XI did 10 of the 12 things you said. This thing is pure attention to details. By the Maze Bank Arena 3 of 5 times the car lose grip and drifted. I hated with all my guts the "U" curb that you mention on point 3 and 4, always crashed on the gate by the left of the end of the corner. The slow corner after the "Prepare to take off" ramp was very tricky, on the left side of the street in front of the hospital was a bump that if you were going too fast made you jump and hit the wall. And finally, the damn corner that you mention in point 10. Was the same thing that in the MB Arena, the only difference was that in this one of 5 attempts i drifted 47 times  . |
