Sliding under the dropping girder-stack is very tricky, you could blow up if you slide in too hard, timing is crucial. At the first 90deg corner (the first serious one), into the warehouses, it really pays off to cut this corner as much as you can, instead of sliding it in advance. Turn lightly, almost tapping if you can, it prevents the car from drifting. Try to keep track of "checkpoints" halfway to judge your performance: don't complete a detonator if you know you're 2 seconds behind on you best time.įor the S4 PowerPlant detonator (took me well over 70 tries), some specifics: Sometimes there are tricks that can save just the necessary 5/10ths of a second. You will need extreme attention to detail here, it's really repetition untill you know it in and out. Also don't brake or slow down excessively for corners, this can easily end up even slower than drifting. Ramon makes good points: NO DRIFTING! Unless there is no other way or the car just sucks too mush (cough ryback coyote). (I restart when I end up last halfway though) Unfortunately this race might just be a fair bit of luck, it took me more than 50 tries to come out as 1st. If you're ahead by more than 4 seconds, you're in the clear. If you're able to take out the majority of the cars in the first stretch, you might be able to stay ahead permanently. Take out the first guy as soon as you can, this has never mattered more than in the S12 Canyon race. Very hard because of the cliffsides you can drop off and since more than 75% of powerplays is almost impossible to avoid and leave debris. I've never been able to beat this race (2 laps) on higher difficulties without doing this. Then just drop the tower on everybody, and race as perfectly as you can.

That said, key strategy here is to be in last place at the end of the first lap, with full power.

The extreme series of 90 degree corners at the end is very tricky, you need to be able to take these really well, which means starting your drift in advance (timing requires practice).

The short cut is the most important thing in the race though, it can completely save your ass.

It's frequently worth it to drop back a few positions and bomb your opponents with this one, to prevent them from using it on you. PowerPlant: most dangerous area is the warehouses that completely collapse. Don't forgo a shortcut or the opportunity to take out the pole position cars just so you can use a route changer, remember that everybody will be able to use the altered route. NEVER USE RED POWERPLAYS, they're not worth their cost in power, ONLY ROUTECHANGERS are worth it and can work great to turn the tables. On the other hand, don't risk trying to go under one that is about to close, it almost never works. If you don't do it, the guy behind you will. The main reason for not winning a race is mostly that you're just not able to catch up with the first dudes, don't let that happen and put them down fast.ĪLWAYS USE SHORTCUTS. Do this in the first 30 or so seconds of a race. The main hint I can give is: TAKE OUT THE FIRST CAR(S) ASAP, before they get too much ahead of you and you can't use powerplays on them anymore. These were definitely the hardest for me, so I'll try to give some specific tips too.

A few general remarks from me regarding perfecting all races, adding on to Ramon's tips.įor me, the last ones I had to complete were Season 4's Detonator (Power Plant), Season 12's 2nd race (Dam), Air Revenge (Graveyard) and Elite Race.
