RByers Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) Hey all, Anyone having a heck of a time getting first on this race? You can do it with either the Bugatti Super Sport with a target of 155mph or the Koenigsegg Agera at 150mph. I'm not bragging by any means but I consider myself a pretty good racer but this is the only race I've came across so far that I come up short 5mph+ every time and I have probably done it 2 dozen times. Anyone else? Edited November 8, 2012 by RByers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinngo Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Difficult race but not impossible. I did all races on 1st place. Keep practicing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shatulance Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Did mine in the veyron. Don't think I had too much trouble...just make sure you got right mods on and don't always think that the GPS is showing you the quickest route Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopp-E Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 yeh i had a little trouble with that one too i did it in the koenigsegg agera R in the end as it only needed 150mph for 1st. just complete the other races so you get the pro upgrades then you'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RByers Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Fun fun. Thanks for the responses. Atleast I know it can be done. Lol. It's one of the few races the 8 or so friends I have don't have a score on as we'll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Couldn't do it for shit in Veyron easy as piss in the Koenigsegg though, as its easier to control and pretty much is as fast because you won't be maxing top speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zztoluca Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Use your brake and tap e-brake slowing down is faster then crashing and respawning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donzie75 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Use your brake and tap e-brake slowing down is faster then crashing and respawning This is good advice u don't need to be full on boosting all the time to beat this, also make sure u go thru the garage just before the left turn into the airfield to refill ur nitrous and use it going thru there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggdude Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I also had trouble with this but, once I got pro off-road tires, I was able to do it. Just work on getting pro for the mods you use and you should have an easier time with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RByers Posted November 7, 2012 Author Share Posted November 7, 2012 I ended up beating it with both cars. Just took a lot of practice on my end. A lot of times it just pissed me off because sometimes it would start me at 80mph and yet another at 180mph. That and cops are so random, that from the start you couldn't escape a head on take down.

DeividHasselhoff Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I ended up getting up to 163 mph on my third try with Veyron. I did have pro track tires, pro burn nitrous and pro long gears equipped though as i thought it would be really hard. If you use a mod or few it's actually quite easy, i had nowhere near perfect run and even wrecked once. One of the critical points is the dip after you have visited the airfield and turned back where you came from, around 1-2 km before finish. If you dont break before the dip on the road, you will end up onto bottom of the canyon and this will cost about 5-10 mph average speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattybell2117 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) I'm not one to fudge the numbers like a prick and say I got it on my first couple tries or something. I got gold with a time of exactly 155mph on my 12th try, although 6 of those I was taken down by a flying SUV coming straight down the road at me :/  I used pro nitrous, pro off road tires, pro long gears, pro light chassis. It really isn't a brutally difficult challenge, I'd suggest watching a video or something for it. I crashed once too and slowed down to a crawl while hitting the turn for the airfield. The airfield really doesn't slow you down all that much if you have off road tires. You can go hard then slam on the brakes going into the airfield, go hard then slam on the brakes and e-brake coming out of the airfield, then hit the nitrous, you really only lose like 20mph and you can more than make that back on the highway after the airfield. I had more problems with speed runs that were rated easy tbh. Maybe I'm a bit biased because I platinumed and 100%'d NFS The Run which was a bitch and a half with those challenges. So far no challenge in this game has even touched the tougher challenges in The Run. My nerves were frazzled going into this race and my hands were shaking like crazy. This is why I regret reading up about this challenge and finding out how tough it was before I started. I psyched myself out majorly and a couple of my failures were because I was shaking like it was 40 below. Adrenaline rush/frazzled nerves I guess. Only racers give me this kind of rush. Makes me feel awesome if I beat it but it takes me a lot longer because I keep crashing stupidly. Edited November 9, 2012 by mattybell2117 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFoot74205 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 No problems here. I thought it was fairly easy with the right setup (I was using the Veyron SS). I think I got it in less than 10 tries with an average speed of above 160mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeJayLeigh Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 make sure u go thru the garage just before the left turn into the airfield to refill ur nitrous HAHA I never noticed a run thru a garage refilled nitrous b4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kneal2005 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Def the toughest challenge I have had in the game but was rewarding getting it, still to do the Koniegzegg one. Pro mods are very useful here as I crashed twice, going in and out of the airfield and still got 157mph. I used the track tire pro rather that the offroad pro as you are on tarmac for 90% of the race but its really a matter of preference. My Reason being you can go through a garage just before the airfield to get a max boost through it (best way is to be positioned on the incoming road on last corner just before the garage and swerve over right and through the garage and round left into airfield for maximum speed, easier to see than type out).

adello25 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Got it on my 10th or so try with the Koenigsegg @ 164mph. Once you get a feel for the course, it isn't bad. But like other people have said, unlock all the pro mods! Also, I suggest using the Short Gears over the Long Gears. You only need to have a 150 or 155mph average. The short gears give you a higher acceleration which is useful for when you come out of corners etc. Having a slightly higher top speed isn't as helpful here.

runtothehills Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 It took me 28 tries to get it. Used Bugatti with track tires and short gears transmission, which is different from what others have recommended. Probably just getting a clean run with any setup can work.

ftwrthtx Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Did it with the Agera R on the Vita and PS3. The Vita seemed easier and I got it after only a couple of run throughs. The PS3 took me more than 10 runs to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The007JiM Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) 45 tries yesterday, 56 today. I can't finish first. I will continue tomorrow. You are not alone. Edited November 12, 2012 by The007JiM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalky83 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I got it on my 59th attempt! Most of those attempts were very short though due that damn Police car that sometimes comes at you head on on the first corner! This was the last event I tried and every other event was so easy so this one was a surprise!

The007JiM Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Lol, i did it!! after writing the previoust post. this is what i use: Bugatti: tires: 4x4 pro nitro: normal chasis: normal car: aerodinamic short gears pro (focus in acceleration, not in maximum speed) 3 critic points for me: -Enter the airport. (Slow down the speed before turn) -Exit the airport (slow down the speed before take the turn) -the last part. slow down the speed and in the last turn push all the nitro u got) Good Luck.

Kneal2005 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Your car setup can make all the difference on this one, checked on auto log and it took me 25 attempts to get it first time. Practice is key along with luck but my first successful run I crashed twice and got 157mph so just setup long gears and personaly I used track tires as you are on road a lot more so just use the garage before the airport so you can boost over the dirt.
