Drag Racing

Phixation,

Funny, I don't see your name on any of the leaderboards, whereas I definitely used to.. I bet that it is adjusted to different phones, just like you said.

As for the AM one-77.. let's just say that 13.000 1/2 mile runs are a thing of the past ;)

Wow....guess Ferraris are soon to be a thing of the past in Level 6 since I dont think its possible to run a 12.xx in one haha. Im working on getting to 5000 points in Level 9 now so after that I think I know what my next project is gonna be :D Maybe I'll see you on L6 sometime.

BTW...you still show up on my phone in Level 6 at #5 overall

The leaderboards remain a mystery lol.

So happens that I'm working on lvl 9 as well.. 1/2 mile right? Are you running under 11.200?

Ya 1/2 mile....best so far is 11.192...its a turbo car...no NO2.

Hardest thing for me is getting used to the weird shift pattern for perfects shift. Its like you gotta shift at 7k in 3rd and 4th, then 6800 for 5th, and 6600 for 6th...just kinda weird

How about you?

Exact same everything for me.. competition is thick out there :p

I find the launch the hardest thing for me, timing is tricky.. Have you seen anyone faster than .192? I haven't.

I havent seen anyone faster yet, but im only at 4600 points...there has to be faster people out there, and im sure someone will beat me before I get to 5000 :)
 
What is generally considered better out of the Venom and the Bugatti? Obv the Venom is priced higher but does anyone have the power, weight and grip stats for the fully uploaded versions for comparison?

Currently running a NR599 @ 12.604 (best) - 12.618 (average) 1/2 mile but haven't bothered tuning....yet lol what sort of time differences am I likely to see supposing my tuning is half decent:D

If it's not that much different then I'll just leave it and upgrade seeing as that will cost an extra 100k or however much it is lol) to the venom/bugati when I get enough money/RP for a couple of upgrades straight away (was thinking like 3-4 mil and going from there - including price of the car)

Sorry about the lengthy post too:) (well it seemed quite lengthy writing it but comparing to top of the page...not that bad:p

Reread your post, my gear shifts actually start around 6600 and go up from there. I usually get around 11.196 with a good launch.

I'm at 4945 rank points and haven't seen anyone under .200 except for one in "bet and race," and he ran a .196

Venom for 1/2, Bugatti for 1/4.

Tuning the 599 will get way better times, even with just a little tuning.
 
Don't really race 1/4 so Venom it is:) Cheers man.

The thing is, I'm winning 95% of my races online(unless my friend comes over and hits the shift down button just before the finish line!:mad:lol) but it would be nice to achieve some good times with this bad boy! lol

hmmm, I'll have to think about it.
 
has anyone happened to have gotten beat by a veyron... in level 4 pro league? i ended up gettin alotttt of cash, so i bought every car and upgraded all the top end cars in one go, turns out all my level 8, 9, and 10 cars were being called level 4, was able to run the veyron in level 4, i have photo proof (you can see the cars and times that were posted below mine, and see that they are cars hot in the level 4 PL) but i don't know how to post it at the moment. but i was just wondered if anyone else seen it, and if anyone else has had the same happen to them.

which veyron would you be asking about? i will post stats for both veyrons and the venom fully upgraded. i will post times for the 3 for both tracks as well (but dont rely on the times as a sure fire which is which cuz im not a great racer) henn. venom-1756 bhp + 335 Bhp N2O weighs 2284 lbs grip is 15622
veyron 16.4 super sport 1732 bhp + 335 bhp N2O weighs 3560 lbs, grip is 28567
bugatti veyron 16.4 (not super sport) 1477 bhp + 335 bhp nitro weighs 3654 grip is 29319
venom 1/4: 7.66 1/2:11.25
16.4 ss 1/4:7.51 1/2:11.24
16.4(not ss) 1/4:7.78 1/2: 11.77

Now i know there are people out there that can run better times that that, but that was tuneless, and like i said earlier, i am not a very good racer.
 
Just wondering why some people are saying to shift straight away to 2nd or 3rd gear? Wouldn't it make more sense to tune your gears such that 1st gear is actually a good gear to start in?

QUESTIONS:

HOW DO YOU EARN STARS?
IJust started the PRO league and won lev1 w/ mk4 even tho my s2000 is better and got 1 star... won lev2 with my rx-8 and didn't get a star....

You earn stars by moving up in points in the Pro League...by the time you get around the 4300 point range in a particular level your car should have 5 stars

HOW DO YOU SEE THE FASTEST TIMES?
Can you see the fastest times by level and by car??

I dont think that this is possible at this time...at least I havent figured it out yet.

WHO CONSIDERS IT BAD TO POST YOUR TUNES IN A FORUM??
I created my own tunes and it was difficult and took a long time to perfect....
I posted top cars i've found so far, but it's more fun to learn the game on your own... isn't it???

I have posted hints, but not all aspects of my actual tunes on this site for some of my cars. I have no problem with it since I feel that if someone wants to share somethng they created then so be it. Like yourself, I feel that the fun of the game is to build a car myself, and try to get the most I can out of it. Using someone elses tune, for me, would be less than satisfying, but to each his/her own. The thing is that the more you try tuning the better you get at it and the quicker you learn to build a new car.

My L6 599 took a really long time to tune because it was the first car I ever really built. It took me forever, but it has eventually ran 13.056 in the 1/2 mile (8.890 in the 1/4), and is still the car I am most proud of. Because of what I learned from that car it has become much easier to create new ones.

Just yesterday by using the tuning tricks I learned over time from the 599, I built a L2 S2000, and within 15 minutes had it running in the 10.78 range in the 1/4 mile. Another 20 minutes after that it was running consistant 10.68s with a best of 10.678. I'm sure if I fine tuned it it would go even faster. Today that L2 S2000 is at 5000 points. There is a guy who posted a few threads above this one selling a L2 S2000 on EBay (nothing wrong with that...it is his right to do what he wants with his creation) that is slower than that, but by actually learning how to tune I was able to take a car I had never played with before, and equal the car he is selling within a pretty short amount of time.

I guess what I am trying to say is learning how to tune your car is half the fun of the game, and once you figure it out you can quickly build a competetive car for any level that you can proudly say was YOURS.

Cheats are kinda cool.... cool that you can, but sucks if it counts and stays in the records. Use cheats if you want to kill all the fun you were originally having!!

+1...I agree with you here...cheats are for people with no skills and kills the fun of the game


ARE THERE ANY CAR CLUBS?
Users that share info with each other...

Not that I know of, but someone posted a new site dedicated to the game in an above post where you might want to look.

My name in the game is: Thanx4DaRPsSucka

Hope to see you on the track Shenanigans...you seem like a cool guy!!

Online head to head races seem to be the way forward earning respect as well as money.

In a real world, yes, but not in this game. I've spent countless hours trying different launch techniques on my Level 7 black 599. I'm running the 1/2 in the 12.41x's which is as fast as I've seen them run by starting in 2nd gear. Even though I'm never in 1st gear, it's setting does impact my launch. By keeping 1st somewhat close to 2nd, I can keep the RPM's from dipping too low during the launch.

no problem. one question for anyone, the venom and veyron ss, should I race them in 9 or 10? and if anyone has a decent tune they could post
 
currently trying to tune my Vennom to run 10.940 seconds in the half mile, so far iv managed to get a fairly constant 10.970s

if anybody has tuning ratios for the vennom gt i would greatly appreciate them! :)
thanks.

**Update -- playing with shifting and tuning, and smacked around a 14.495 and 14.497...dreaming of 480's though. Fastest I've ever seen was a 14.487.

My M3 just did a 14.478 in a test-run, and i'm getting high 14.4, low 14.5 in virtually every run.
My M3 just did a 14.446 (9.65 for 1/4mi) in a test-run, and i'm getting around 14.46 in virtually every run.

I won't disclose the full setup here, you'll have to figure out the final bits on your own.

Gear ratios are like this:

final: 3.8
1st: 2.2
2nd: 1.54
3rd: 1.27
4th: 1.09
5th: 0.96
6th: 0.87

Just go for perfect starts (it's extremly easy with this gearing) with revs in the range of 6000-7000 rpm, perfect shiftsfind the best rpm for your gearchanges (you'll hit the occasional perfect shift, but that's not what you have to aim for) and find the sweet spot for NOS, and the 14.4814.45/14.46 will be yours :-)

The car itself is maxed out and win's every 1/2mi race on level 4.

Cherry79

last edit:
finally installed a screengrabber on the desire, and got you a proof-pic... unfortunately i didn't manage another 14.446 run, but .449 should be ok, too :-)

Hey everyone! :)

Just a simply question. How can you reach higher speed than 238mph with NR599?

Many times, if I'm going with the maximum speed and the other (same) car just goes faster..

Thanks your replies :)
 
I'm totally addicted to this game too, just upgraded to a base Veyron. I have a couple questions;

1. How do you guys get RP besides racing? Are you paying for it? Or downloading those free apps to get some? Can you keep re-downloading those?

2. How do you tell how much it takes to level up your car? It sucks you don't get your RP back when downgrading so I guess you have to plan ahead huh?

Thanks!
