guide Racing

[Vorpaxis 7]

We've had a few people interested in racing, and I'm going to attempt to compile the finer beginner points into a guide. The guide referenced is here (RD_'s Racing Guide 2.0). This will help you get your merits quickly. If you want to pursue it long-term, check out the actual guide.

Preferred Car by Tier

E Class - Volvo 850
D Class - Toyota MR-2
C Class - Corvette Z06
B Class - Sierra Cosworth (Mustang if you're cheap)
A Class - Ferrarri 458

Upgrades

The only upgrades you're going to want are going to be those that increase multiple stats at once.

First: Aerodynamics
Second: Engine
Third: Tires
Fourth: Exhaust and Weight Reduction

Again you're only going to want to spend points on those increasing multiple stats. You're also not going to want to spend all of your points in each class. At the time I'm writing this I'm at 4.58 skill and have 226 points saved up (after two crashes with my Sierra Cosworth).

 

The only way to gain points are from placing first, second or third in an official race. However you can just custom races overnight that offer 100 laps and gain driving skill this way. It's also worth noting that the "races won" metric is only for placing first.
