    Overall the main bottleneck is acceleration upgrades. 1331313 might be more time efficient for most people (assuming you'd buy more upgrades in a future 50% discount). 1331311 is a great middle ground I'd recommend.
    4.3 is the first hard race. it is doable with 1111111. At first I wasted some time on RNG by hitting the wall at lap 0/3 when aiming for 394kph. I realized later on you can easily do it with drafting on laps 1/3,2/3 and 3/3 and hitting 3rd is more than easy.
    5.1 is where you hope singh spawn in with a veyron or a ccx and it is almost easy at 1111111
    5.2 is barely possible at 1131111. had to do 1131311-it will cost way too much retries otherwise
    5.3 bots are too slow. aim 1st position to hit the avg speed target. its not likely that you can hit the target in a lower position.
    5.4 1131313 is just enough yet still hard. 1131311 doesn't work even with the perfect draft.

    @larrybeavens7580 6 месяцев назад +2

    If anyone is wondering, this event is pretty easy with all 3’s. Race 5-4 is a strange one; a lot depends on what kind of cars you have in front of you, and they’re different every time you run the race. The challenge is to hit 170 mph each time you cross the finish line, but with all 3’s you can do it without help from another car. Fun event, and a really nice car.

    • @ME7_RR3

      Yup, tell them that from the viewpoint of a long-time mediocre Group C driver, this event was right on the money with all 3’S. Race 5-4 was a challenge, as it should be, but I always knew I could win it with a good run. This was a fun one; I really enjoyed it.

    0:01 honestly me7 that sounded more like a bark 😂
    as for race 3.3, I noticed that your timer doesn't start until you cross the finish line, so what I did is parked myself by putting my right tires on that black ground you see at the start of it so that all the cars can overtake me safely. Then once all the cars went away, I went in the opposite direction to that last part of hockenheimring that isn't off track(I'm sure you know which section I'm referring to). Then I park myself in such a way that my camera is directed towards the track in chase view(basically put my camera to the left of the car so that I can look towards the right of it and thus the track). Once I see a car, I go and do the race as per usual. This does not help in placing anywhere below 1st because in this race, placements vary on lap times. But I found that this helped in the aspect that there was absolutely no car in my way throughout the whole race and getting 1:15 with proper braking points was easy.
    That's how far I've made it. My tablet needed charge so had to put it in.

Never fails for me though. I always hit a point where it just gets too hard for me to push on in these challenges. I enjoy your videos regardless of my attempts to get some of these cars.

    I did this with 1331111 but 5.4 was almost impossible for me. I am currently writing this at 1 am and I have just earned the car. I thought I wouldn't earn the car, but with 14% battery charge, I gave it another shot and sure enough, I dominated 5.4. I felt the feeling of dominance and victory when I got it. My day started bad with my mom scolding me and then a heated argument between my parents. That was resolved and I got this car. I have learned today that with hardship comes ease, and God had proven this to me in the most unprecedented way possible. I know it's long, but writing this brought out all my feelings and now my feelings have gotten even stronger. Again, kudos to you.

    I've won mine with 3331313, only leaving Suspension and Brakes on 1s, upgrading the rest that increase top speed and acceleration to 3s. Managed to win it fairly ok with that. Burned out my 3 hours by 5.4, but it was very late at night by then and I was tired so next morning I was easily able to finish 5.4 on a few tries. I am not as skilled as you so immediately upgraded more then you did so I won't stress myself too much if I could afford it.

    Finished the event with 1331313 which cost (345-100) = 245GC.
    Pretty easy event; the first ever Recommended PR event in my 4 month career which didn't need any skips. :)
    In 4.3, using the wall as brakes really helped.
    In 3.3, I first let everyone go ahead, then waited at start line till saw the first car coming up at me and then started the two laps.
    For 5.4, actually easy stage but requires consistency to get up to 170mph. I found my upgrades let me get to the requirement without any problem.
    At last, finished 5.5 with a completely damaged car by using off track cuts.
    Hope this helps 👍

      It actually is attached to the steering column on both Jesko’s. I showed this one on one of my videos. You have to go into the garage and then use the special view that lets you go right into the car. Since it’s attached to the steering column, it doesn’t rotate when you turn the steering wheel, which actually makes sense. Who wants their gauge rotating all the time when they’re turning corners?

    • @ME7_RR3
      @ME7_RR3  6 месяцев назад

      It’s pretty hard to drift in this game actually. That’s part of why I like it, it’s not intended. First you have to know the proper braking points. Then you drive just a little bit past them and use a combination of brakes and feathering the throttle to keep that drift going. Generally speaking in this particular game all wheel drive or four-wheel-drive cars drift better. It’s a little bit easier to get the car in the sweet spot and hold it. For some reason this mustang also was pretty good. But I was making a lot of adjustments in each corner to keep the drift going. It’s a lot of trial and error.

      If you touch the grass with the tires, you increase the braking distance. What you see on screen for braking as a good 1 to 2 car lengths after I have actually applied brakes. I do take tires off track to increase the race line, but you have to plan that out through trial and error.

    • @ME7_RR3
      @ME7_RR3  6 месяцев назад +2

      I get asked this a lot so I have an answer ready to go. The short answer to how I have so much currency is that I’ve played since 2015, I play a lot and I spend my currency carefully. Also The introduction of M$ currency meant even less things to spend R$ on. M$ isn’t hard to get, 20 days of maximum daily limit gets you there. Bonus amounts take you over 5 million. The long answer is next.
      I used to race like crazy. At least an hour a day for several years. I would race the highest paying races I would and make full use of bonus fame days. I once earned over 2.57 million fame and over R$ 3.9 million in one 600 lap race!
      One race, one HUGE payout!!
      ruclips.net/video/ACnGd6Ekq4A/видео.html
      The best use of bonus fame and bonus R$ days is endless endurance racing. It requires a good amount of skill and practice to get the hang of it. You also have to be comfortable with no assist racing. I’ve got a playlist here with many many races and different cars and on different tracks. ruclips.net/p/PLVM3eGpc-d9PN6_ekdOp0UrAdA_ADWCVh
      I first finished this game back in May 2016. Since then I earn 99% of cars with just upgrades. I don’t have to buy them AND upgrade them. I finished the game 9 times in total.
      Mid 2019 I gave up on finishing the game because I was starting to run out of gold. Now I only upgrade when I have to, if I really want to or if there’s a sale. My gold balance went up a lot because of that. I’ve even started skipping certain cars that I just don’t like.
      I win special event cars with low upgrades. I’ve been driving with no assists for 6 years which makes it cheaper.
      I get a group B finish in Weekly Time Trials most weeks, sometimes group A. I can sometimes still get Group B finishes when I have cars with less than full upgrades because I learned how to drive with no assists and put in a lot of effort.
      So that’s the longer answer on how I have so much currency.

      Yes, that can be a good idea. I actually was going to do that and then I forgot once I got going. I did a little bit of quit & retry on an earlier race and it was lowering the difficulty. But then I remembered that it can sometimes make things worse. As it was, at the timed race at COTA I had a good 1 km lead. Then that boosts the difficulty again. It seemed to work out for me pretty good.

      This is the video with less gold upgrades. If you went with recommended PR it would be 610 gold. I saw some people who were better than me that actually spent more gold. I think you could get away with a little less R$, but not less gold. 5.4 is so difficult when you have to hit that specific speed at the line 3 times. You can get lucky once by having the perfect bot with you the slipstream but getting lucky three times is extremely unlikely.

      You’ve got to start accelerating pretty far back in the last turn. That means slowing down even more than usual for the second last turn. That’s the turn at the end of the really long speed run. So picture yourself going down that long speed run. Get on the brakes about two or three car lengths early. is approaching the very last turn, start the turn a little bit early. Then get on the gas and you should be fine once you sort it out. You have to really relax as you’re heading to that last.

      Maybe if you get super aggressive with wall braking like you see me doing a little bit. However, you need more upgrades for at least 2 races in stage 5. Skipping both of those gets quite expensive. Some people finish the event with a different upgrade path than me that’s cheaper. That is taking drivetrain and body up to level 3 upgrades.

In those cases I was able to get a nice tow to the line and hit speed with lower upgrades.

      ​​@@ME7_RR3 I'm not talking about everyone, but about you. I'm mostly in group B. I've been playing for 10 years already. I've never been in group A. I've stopped at 5.2 at 1131111 for now. Although it seems to me that in Panorama, where you need to gain speed 3 times, it was possible without gold upgrades,but I'm not sure. After all, you brake against the wall very quickly there. I passed that race without problems. I installed the 3rd case there after watching your video. I didn't think of braking against the wall myself. But I think you would have passed with 2 gold ups. I don't know what races are next though. When I complete Dark Matter, I'll write how many upgrades I installed.

      @Replay3000 I ended up needing 1131313 but it can be fully completely with different upgrades. I think I get it now. It was 2 gold upgrade minimum to finish the entire event. And I think it needs to be different ones than what I used. I know the people who run the wiki so whatever they’re saying would be correct.

      ​@ME7_RR3 have you tried 1331111? If you had installed a gearbox instead of an output, you wouldn't need tires. I think so. It's 10 gold more expensive than 1131311, but a little faster. What didn't work for you that you had to install tires as well?

      ​​@@ME7_RR3For 5.4 you need acceleration to pass 273.5 every lap. With your ups 1131313 acceleration is 1.77, and with 1331111 it is already 1.76 and cheaper and faster, but slightly worse grip. You just rushed to install exhaust 3.

    3:10 that was countach and this car pronounced as " Jeemera " , not " Gamera "

    • @StormBendor
      @StormBendor 6 месяцев назад

      According to English grammer rule, you are right but everyone calls it Gamera. I have also watched some popular youtubers pronouncing it as Gemera. So it must be Gamera and not Jamera

      @StormBendor just watch a video of its founder /CEO pronounces

      @manthandihora5732 6 месяцев назад

      @StormBendor i guess we have different pronounciation for 'J' and 'G', I'm an Indian, so we stick to pronounce the way it's actually pronounced

      Oops, I forgot about that. If you go watch an official video from Christian hon Koenigsegg, he does say it with a J sound. However, most of the people seem to do it the other way.😅

    5.2 is impossible for me. I can do it within 18 seconds, but the fastest I get is about 192mph and I have to exceed 194mph. and I have a lot of upgrades.

    Stage 1 and 2 are easy
    Stage 3 is balanced
    Stage 4 and 5 are difficult

      Sometimes that happens. Usually, it kicks in after the first race. If not, just force close the game and reopen it. That will usually work. Maybe you have to be online but I’m not sure.
