Mission 6 - Roadsters at Tsukuba

Discuss Mission 6

I found this one difficult because it was difficult to avoid losing speed through tire slippage in those esses.

I should try it again sometime. I actually semi-cheated when I passed it the first time. I hit the car for a five second penalty, but knocked it far enough off the track that I won anyway. I'm not sure I ever passed it cleanly.

Maybe I should try A-spec'ing the Roadster Endurance for practice?

Well, I didn't actually A-spec the Roadster Endurance Race, but I did pass this one cleanly (twice) last weekend.

I gradually found how to avoid losing speed so as to catch the other cars, and eventually carried just enough speed to get inside the other car in the last corner without getting a five-second penalty.

The first time I tapped the other car on the rear fender; not really clean since it moved it, but it wasn't hard enough a tap to trigger the penalty.

The second time I managed more of a door-handle-to-door-handle thing, once again gentle enough to get no penalty.

Prior to that I had discovered a different way to cheat even worse. I watched my old replay and I'd got first by slamming the AI car hard enough to send it off the track, so that it couldn't catch me even with my five second penalty.

But the other way to cheat is to simply head across the grass as soon as you see there's no barrier in the way. You end up on the other side going rather slowly, so you need to block vigorously to keep first, but it can be done. But why do that, really? (Except to demonstrate the foibles of the game). It is possible to get inside the other car thoroughly enough to get past without hitting it hard enough to incur a penatly.

I also redid Mission 10, so now I own my Delorean legitimately.

As likely my last flirtation with video-gaming, I bought a DFP. I tried this test, and the car seems to exhibit horrible oversteer which didn't seem to be present with the DS2. I couldn't even reliably get the car to the end of the run, let alone catch and pass the opponent. And yet, I did B5 (Tsukuba guide lap in a new Mini), and did about as well as before. (Was getting awfully sleepy, so had to call it a morning). I.e. the Mini didn't exhibit the same problems on the same corners.

I still don't know how you avoid losing speed so much in that demo run.

Maybe it's a glitch in the game that no one else knows about.

All i did on this mission was to slam into the front of the other car but getting a penalty but then as you are slowing down block the A.I's car path and race to the finish line i did this on a number of missions and it works perfectly for a driver that is very aggresive when it comes to racing

on the first corner, try to make sure your rear tires don't touch the grass at all, that makes it much easier to get close to the AI
