I spent most of my time doing story mode and upgraded to full ex spec. When I do race other players, I always fall behind launching right off the starting line then catch up later in the course. But this may cause a problems with courses that hardly have any hairpins. Anyone have any tips? When to shift? Hold gas while timer counts down? Wait? Partially hold accelerator? Im driving a full ex spec s2000 if that makes any difference. [ Post made via Mobile Device ] This post has been edited by flipboi4o1 on Mar 28 2016, 06:15 AM |

I've only lost about 5 out of 65 races (a Trueno twice and an S13/S15 a few times) As far as 'off the line goes,' i'm beaten by all 3 of those cars almost every start. The s2000 Excels in 2nd and 3rd, but the start of 1 isn't as quick. Thats my view. Most people don't know, but in ID3, if you start the race in 5th or 6th gear you fire off the line! Then you drop down real fast. It was an awesome loophole |

Usually the only time you want to redshift is when you made a mistake in your cornering and you need to downshift in order to to help the car slow down to prevent the car from hitting the wall.
