  • New York HC race can be enough to complete, if no traffic glitch does not kicks in.
  • No need to risk it and gets very close. around 1meter is enough to trigger the condition, test it out on freeroam.
• Just a push
  • Intentionally follows someone rear, bumping is not a problem.
• Frontflip combo
  • They never mention win, so yeah just repeat front flip on the same event and lose it.

The Ricer Pt.2 – (Racer)

• The street race wizard
  • Just delete nitro button dude.
• The drift wizard
  • If you know, you know.
  • Spend more on hothead and slippery to handle the high ace drift score.
  • Pick easy track like Airport terminal D/Miami race track skid.
  • The rest you need after all that is git gud.
• The hypercar wizard
  • Just remove brakes since normal player doesn’t use one
• The hovercraft wizard
  • Any sort of contact are considered failed, including destroyable props like small fence.
  • Except wild animal because this is not PETA simulator.
  • Play on normal difficulty, reserve nitro to pass bots on straight safely, and try to keep it safe on middle of track.
  • Some track has small fence that are hard to dodge, avoid those. Glacier Park Tiger Tonic event works for me.
• The air wizard
  • spend more points on perfectionist, and then git gud.
• The open wheeler wizard
  • Just stop wallriding for once please.
  • Proto Alpha Mk.X has insane grip, but can be tricky to use. Try Alpha MK.2 in that case or any.

• Perfect run
  • Need to do 3 perfect run with all perfect starts and shifts.
  • Using stock car at normal difficulty is easier to manage.
  • Retrying any of the 3 runs are not allowed.
  • [unsure]May only need to win 1 of the 3 run, so on another 2 run, let go of throttle after perfect launch to gain grip first, and also let go of throttle after overrev to get perfect shifts easier.

• Win by a (H)air
  • Use stock AB with no bonus score affixes to keep is as close as possible.
  • Try to avoid freetime when close to score, skip playlist and get just enough points, then land till events over.
• Touring car turbulence
  • Just stay at 2nd place and slipstream before closing to goal.

• Top dog
  • Play-A-Lot and also gain lead quickly, which should never be an issue?
  • Reduce difficulty if somehow you still struggles.

• Drift for all and all for drift
  • As usual just get the hothead and slippery affix to get easy score, but 100K is so trivial.
• Squadron win
  • Formation gives a lot of points too, just stay closer to each other while tricking.
• Monsters (Trucks) INC.
  • Formation and halfpipe rotation spam is easy.

  PvP stuff is not something I can predict, do it in a crew may help.

• By a thread
• Easy peasy
• Rivalry street racing
  • [Unsure]Has to be events, not skills, and rivals refer to Tio, Tucker, Sofia, Clarence.
• Rivalry offroad

  • Podium are for top 3, doesn’t matter with lobby size.
  • The first playlist is the street race, referring to this.
