Need For Speed (2015)

[Brend]

I'd say the key is to have a grip-based car that can be 'forced' into a slingshot at the hairpins, a lot of the time thats where I gained ground on him...also take the inside line away, even if that requires bumping him off a few times. Not worth trying to wreck him from my previous attempts, the car seems to have its own unique set of absorption physics.

Use the dirt on certain hairpins to your advantage, that's where I got a lot of ground. I saved my replay, could upload it for those who are still stuck. The car I used was:

Subaru BRZ - 525BHP, Grip Tyres and tuned for Grip as much as possible.

Has anybody noticed that certain songs don't come on after a while? There's a ton of songs I haven't heard since I got the game, even when you skip tracks they won't come up. Weird

 

[Losco]

Took forever for me to beat him.

I cheated as often as I could and took him out whenever he got close lol.

I tried one more time at lunch, same as he did before. I'll try to drive him out of the track... :/

I fell in love with the Liberty Walk kit for the 240z, wish I could own one myself.

With having everything unlocked, I've been modding cars to max and testing on my favorite race using the same settings on each car. I gotta say, the Focus RS is great, S2000 is solid as well. Aventador isn't also outstanding. M4, Viper, and GTR I do not like. '75 911 has been my go to for much of the story but I am still putting down better times with the RS. Love that car!

Each type of race has its own soundtrack. There's a playlist for race events, drift events, and cruising the open world

It might have been taken out of the game due to bugs, like with the brake calipers. They were in the beta but gone in the full release.

It will probably get added in a later update though.

Anyone know any other customization parts that were in the beta but were removed in the full release?

I beat Magnus in my 550hp RSR 911, same exact setup forthe compenents parts race I won with it. The tuning I did on it is great. I originally tried that Magnus race with my 800 hp F82 M4 and couldnt do it. For the record, I kinda hate how the M4 handles.

The m4 blows, what's your setup on the Porsche?

Drifting without assists in this game is pretty hard.

 

[iFuriousRacer]

Drifting without assists in this game is pretty hard.

I have the BMW M4 as drift and touge car and it's pretty good handling wise.
I have deactivated all the assists (for brake drifts, drift stability assist etc.) and I even manage to do two drifts without stopping to go sideways.
Of course I also struggle with locking wheels and sudden grip on the front tires sending me into the barriers but I think everyone struggles with this.

I like how some of your opponents are modeled after actual people's cars. I passed by this thing the other day:

I didn't notice that! Cool move, Ghost!

 

[Gerarghini]

Chairslayer appears in the game alongside his personal 180SX, as well as Fredric Aasbo in a Volvo.

*inb4 Chris Forsberg should be OP in drift contests*

And I wonder why they don't allow you to edit the playlists; I love the cruising playlist but don't feel the same way about the racing playlist (except drift events).

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Funny how Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Stephan Papadakis seem to switch between using an Exige. You'd think they'd be using a Mustang or Civic/Scion respectively

 

[iFuriousRacer]

Here are the handling settings of my two cars if anybody is interested:

The M3 E30 is my grip car:

Spoiler

The M4 is my drift and touge car:

Spoiler

Maybe this helps someone to be more confident with the handling ingame and drifting.

 

[ctmagic]

Yeah I'd be more interested to see more people's settings, my drift settings are quite different

Here's a second expanded map I've found on the game's Reddit. Be warned, though, it's a big image!

Please tell me that this is not fanmade!

 

[nick98]

Please tell me that this is not fanmade!

It is, unfortunately, but one can hope Ghost "copies" it.

 

[wvmgmidget]

It is unfortunately.
Edit: nick98 beat me to it.

 

[Nico_Ble99]

Damn. Anyway, should have known it, haha.

Looks like the fanmade map is starting to resemble Tri City mixed with Bayview's canyon roads.

I really hope that we get to see a map expansion to Ventura Bay with new Icons *I'm wondering who the new Icons could be with the expansion* new races and new additional cars with the expansion.

Does anyone know the name of the song with the whistling while out driving?

 

[nick98]

That song is "Destruction (KOPPS Remix)" by Joywave; that song is only heard during Drift events, though.

 

[pokemonfan58]

Is there one more race you have to do after you defeat all five icons before beating the game?

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Spoiler: There are

two races after each story is completed. The first one

Spoiler

is a race between your crew members

and the second is

Spoiler

a race between your crew and all the Icons at once.

I recall the dream team being the last race I done.

 

[lxmmy]

I was wondering what cars people actually love driving?
