maybe u just turn badly and hit too much the walls cuz i did level 10 everywhere and it was pretty easy to do (i lose 4 time in total:in happo)(in a FD)

try to improve your shifting skill (or play manual if u dont)
thats all i can do for you

Be precise about the place he catch up to you, or where you feel you got a loss of speed, then we will be able to help you more

Can you give me a guide about what you do.

I'm not the one you should ask this kind of stuff, I'm in Initial D since about 2 month I'm still new to the game. But if you really need help that much, as I said just tell me where you have difficulties, trying to do as others do will result in a loss of time. Or maybe you just need practice, play often

Well, tell us what your doing wrong and we will tell you how to fix it...... or don't play at all.

well if you did a search on the forums i posted upa guide a couple of days ago..

here it is

Saito: This is Akina not Akagi

Ok the parts I am having trouble with are the first corner, the last one in CP2, and the 4 hairpins. I clear the first corner about 129mph, second one 120 if I miss the gutter and 135-140 if I catch the gutter, The 1st hairpin I take in 3rd gear and brake to about 110 mph, the next turn I keep in 3rd and while I turn I shift up. Next, two turns I let go of the gas a litte bit the exit 120. There the next two turns I let go of the gas.

u should clesr the first st about 140 and no wall touch for the second i do 142 just downshift and brake hard 'till you can turn enough

for the rest of the course: ask somebody else srry

If someone can help me, I'm best when I aim at a time or at someone.

I'm stuck on level 20 bunta the last one before he uses his WRX. I clear Akina with a time around 2'56 to 2'58 ( best 2 '54 ) and I just can't keep up with him after the RHOD gutter turn even if I'm in front.

It goes like I have the lead all the way until he overtake me before the hi-speed section that ends in the RHOD. Then on Hispeed I overtake him, exit the RHOD gutter almost all the time at 150 ( 154 best ) but he seems to pull away easily after.

The question is the time he does, then I'll TA until I can follow closely his time then aim at him.

I drive a Capp for those who want to know and help.

OMG, you exit the RHOD at 150 and only get 2'54?

Well I don't know what I do wrong in the race.

So i'll post a guide of what I do then you people will maybe be able to help me out to improve wrong section

CP1 : I'm going full speed until the first hairpin, I'm entering at 160 with a feint exiting at 145 with some braking and downshifting and no wall contact. Then I don't upshift everytime for the second on, I'm not taking the gutter on the right turn and natural feint drift : exit speed 135 / 140 then all the way to the checkpoint.

CP2 : I enter the first hairpin at a speed around 160, feint drift at the exact same time I pass the CP. I feint then brake pedal with a downshift exiting at ~130. I got a low speed on this one but I feint again on the other one but with a simple kick on the brake so I exit at 145. I obtain 156 before the left turn that follow the right turn after the 2 hairpins. So it goes to 163 to the RHOD gutter, after the left turn, I stay on the right then feint with hard braking and downshift immediately after I start braking, making a good weight transfer with the capp so I take the gutter. My best exit is 154 but I'm usualy around 145 / 150 easily.

CP3 : There's this long straight where I obtain around 160 again until the hairpin, feint drift with immediate downshift exiting around 145 on the right of the road. I usually enter the straight before the 5 hairpins of death at 163, taking the first one with feint, braking and downshifting, taking the gutter exiting at 140, second gutter at ~130, same for the 3rd one then 145 on the last.

CP4 : Not upshifting, I exit the following 2 at 135 then 145. Then I obtain 160 until the next easy hairpin exiting at 150 on 4th gear. Until the end I obtain 175 end finish the race at 170 / 175.

i typed it wrong...its suppose to be akina...i chanbged it already though...sorry gys

Yeah you changed it alright.....2 weeks later! LMAO

I don't see the difference the link leaves me on a guide of Akagi

oops...oh well i rmeember i put it sumwhere...well here it is again....good luck mate !

AKINA DC2

CP1
1st turn - Make sure u stay close to the inside and maybe gutter to shave of a few milliseconds, u dont have to gutter though if u rather be safe cause it no big deal at this point. Take the inside line close to the rail until the 1st hairpin.

1st hairpin - a very tricky hairpin for fast times.. but for a 53 there is no trick, gear down appropriatly and hit the apex, gas out and try for around 138-140 exit for now.

2nd hairpin - there are alot of ways to take this hairpin.. 1st there is the natural feint way, i know i said no feint but its natural on this hairpin so u should try it, as soon as u pass the slight right curve and find yourself on the inside line of the next corner u should quickly throw u'r car to the right while braking + a downshift. When its time to turn to the inside let go of the brake and turn in quickly. At apex u should accel. This method is hard.. but if done right it lands u a easy 143-144 exit. 2nd, my old way, turn in very early into the right hander barely avoiding the gutter, if u do it right u should turn out to be on the right lane, shift down and brake quickly and aim your car into the apex, once u'r car is at the apex or a bit earlier turn in all the way and hit the gas shortly after, i found it to be pretty easy beginner manuver and can get u up to a 143 at exit.. in short.. aim for around 140 exit for this hairpin if u are aiming for a mid 53.

TARGET CP1 TIME - +/- (BIG minus, CP1 can be considerably lower) 41.9xx - 42.1xx

CP2

1st hairpin - For this hairpin shift down and brake earlier then u think u should because u are going faster and the hairpin is pretty tight, aim for a exit of around 137 clean + good line.

2nd hairpin - easy hairpin, tap break and turn, not hard.. around 131 exit is very easy here and is enough.

S turn - Full speed corner, gutters are useful but no nessecary, go full speed, take a good line and aim for 171+ at exit and make sure its clean.

RHOD - Akina's hardest hairpin imo. The gutter here can make a huge difference in you speeds. But for a 53, u dont have to use it. Start braking at the red lines on the road and let go a little before they end for a gutter turn. Its very crucial that u dont touch the wall on this turn wether outside on inside, w/ clean gutter 144+ is a good speed. Without gutter stop braking right before the red lines end and turn in, this way aim for around 140/141 exit speed.

TARGET CP2 TIME - +/- 44.0xx-44.2xx

CP3

1st hairpin - this isnt a hard turn, brake a little after the right curve and downshift to 4th. Make sure u take into account that there is a 3rd lane opening up and thats where u should exit. aim for around 146-148 exit.

2nd hairpin - u want to gutter all 4 of these, start braking between the last and second last set of red line, AIM your car into the apex and lock at apex, hopefully hitting the gutter. 132+ exit

3rd hairpin - u have to swing back fast to recover from the 1st hairpin, go quickly right after the 1st one and then quickly left hoepfullu u hit the apex and the gutter, around 130 exit is good.

4th hairpin - line up your car and go for the gutter, not very hard but this hairpin is tighter then the rest so take it a bit easier, around 128 is a nice exit speed w/ gutter.

5th hairpin - gutter can help alot on this one, very minor off throtle and aim turn in, if u hit the gutter smoothly gas it and u should have atleast 134 exit speed, 136 if u did it well. 137/8 with FAT RS.

TARGET CP3 TIME - +/- 43.4xx-43.6xxx

CP4

1st hairpin - a very normal hairpin, brake and turn, 135 exit is adequate.

2nd hairpin - this on is harder then the previous, on the outside small off thotle and make sure u go through the green area durring the turn (inside, sort of a line gutter i guess). 142/143 clean exit is very good.

3rd hairpin - off thotle and turn in, gas at apex.. all in 5th gear. 152-154 exit is not hard without feint, 155 is possible too but its really streching it.

Firework straight - just a reminder to stay as close to inside as u can, easy way to save some time.

last turn - tricky.. small natural feint, aim your car into the apex and lock earlier then apex. this way u can get 174 without gutter, with gutter 179 is possible as i've done it before and didnt even exit outside, very tricky gutter.

TARGET CP4 TIME - +/- 43.7xx - 44.0xx

TARGET AKINA TIME - 2'53.0 - 2'53.9

well i can get a 52 wif my 300k cappa so i dunn if that any good....

in cp1 why not upshift? then full right turn? wif the capp u should get at least 140+ on the big left turn before cp2. when u up shift to 5th dun feint... to me the cap dun need feint drift cos if got the driftyness... ;-)

after cp2 wat is speeds u do in first turn? should be able to get 140+ then the left after i think i can only enter at 139 but i know it can be alot faster. from wat i membr u should hv 160+ before the S turns. very nice RHOD 150+ is fast.. i even i can't gutter it all the time but then again im noob!

for cp3 the left i can get 148+ no wall contact! maybe try turning early? u should slide out after u get in the apex but on the right side after apex the road is bigger! if u get wat im talkin about? i think u take the 5 hairpins faster than me i dunno why u not gettin a faster time then 54? forgot my speeds of the 5 hairpins.

CP4: i think the first turn after cp3 the right turn is ok but the left turn after should be reached 148+ DO U LET GO GAS OR BREAK? cos u dun need it wif the cap! unless u go beyound 150+ try to eraser this turn! then on the firecracker turn (big right turn) u should get 150+ easy wif the cap no need to downshift! i can get 158 wif this turn but i read somewhere u can get 160+ i dunno how yet kakaka...
do u gutter the last turn? should go really fast 175+ i heard this turn can be done at 180+ i dunno never seen ask SPIKE! cos some1 said he could do it!

well thats my 5 cent! i wanna play ver2 now! only 1 place that still hv ver2
