I love this game, I just wanted to say that for the life of me I can't get past the third track (the highway one at night) in the Original gamemode, on hard difficulty. I maintain top speed and upgraded different parts each run to see what's more effective but both the timer and the rival seem impossible to beat. Any tips?
Hard difficulty! Very courageous. 😉
- What car are you using? Maybe the difficulty is too tight.
- Do you run out of time on the highway section, or the 2 stages after the highway?
The transmission upgrade gives you an extra gear so you can reach a higher top speed and the engine upgrade raises the max rpm, which also gives you a higher stop speed. I believe the transmission upgrade is the better choice. You can use the turbo to maintain top speed. Braking is forbidden of course.
You can also take advantage of slipstreaming to gain a small speed boost. Get behind another car to reduce air resistance and squeeze out a few extra km/h.
