How to win a race

Overview

Some races are hard to win, l was stuck in one of them with a $HlTTY police car. l replayed the race and found a way to win. As this will spoil the gameplay for u, I’d recommend u to use it only in VERY DIFFICULT RACES. For hardcore gamers, ignore this guide.

Making a plan

Before a race, check the route on the map(Click on the race icon on the map). ln the first playthrough of the race, memorize the route, as much as u can. This is necessary as there are blockades placed in some parts of the route. After losing, quit the race and check the map for shortcuts to use and make your plan, you will have to make multiple plans because of the blockades.

Normally, one well planned shortcut would be sufficient to alter the race.

Executing the plan

After u hv a shortcut planned, start the race. Use the minimap during the race and keep track of the time limit given to return to the race. Don’t forget to adapt to the game and take another shortcut if anything goes wrong(blockades, other cars blocking, crashes etc).

Here’s a video of me taking a shortcut. Just watch the first 20 secs of the video if u dont want anything else.
Things did not work out the way I planned, I thought that the time limit is 10 secs and was about to continue down the road(at 0.12). I improvised and took a shorter route.

this is an exploit, dont expect it to work in every race as certain race routes are sealed properly by the devs.
