mr-apples Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 My best time is about 1:40 after running two fairly solid laps. It seems to me that in order to shave off that much time to get down to 1:15 there must be some sort of shortcut or trick (or else they're expecting two *flawless* laps) I've seen a couple spots where you can use the speed rocket + ramps to do jumps, I'm guessing there's some sort of way to shortcut an area of the track perhaps. Anyone get this yet? If so how? I don't think it's just running the standard race because I've had runs where I got a bunch of unlucky weapon pickups instead of speed boosts. You would need a very good string of speed boosts and springs to do the whole thing straight up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xIIZombieIIx Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 One of those games with the really easy achievements and then that one achievement that makes you bang your head on the wall... I'll let you know if I get it and how... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infradude Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I got 1:26 as my best, but I never get those dam boost things. But if you haven't done this already change your car from light to sport and it will go much faster. Orginally, I thought the achievement was 1:30 or less and then after realizing it wasn't.........

TheLastSavior Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 if you use a boost on the first jump and aim it right, you can fly past the fan and shave a few seconds off your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imapimp420o Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Once Again i am here to help after 3 Hrs i figured out that you had to do this achievement In arcade!!! Then you have to make the settings on hard and change the car type to sport then when i did it the first time i got 1:25 kept at it and as long as you gave a little luck and pratice you should be able to do it my final time was 1:13:22 here are some tips Tip #1- If you dont get boosts at the start Restart Tip #2- know where to use your boost so you dont flip your car First at the loop de loop is the first boost second is right after the loop around the turn third boost is on the second ramp up not the first 4th boost is on the way to the table on the ramp then again on the table 6th only on the last lap unless your feeling lucky on the final straightaway because you will end up at the finish to shave a couple seconds if you need any more help let me kno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr-apples Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 I got freaking ZERO speed boosts on the second lap and still got 1:19... how dumb to have such a totally random luck element involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr-apples Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 Also, if you angle your car right during the first sequence of bonus boxes, you can pick up 2 of them, very useful when farming for speed boosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rand al Thor 19 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I finally got this a couple of days ago too and here are my tips: 1. get three rockets immeaditly at the beginning and boost(if not then restart) 2. boost at loop de loop 3. do not boost at long straightaway on the floor - go inbetween the table legs on the left side to get to the other side(saves rocket) 4. Boost on the second longer ramp going up(this is a must) 5. Boost again after 4 to jump the gap quicker if you have a rocket 6. Do not boost at the jump(more often then not you will flip) 7. Boost as soon as you land from the big jump 8 and finally boost around the corner to slingshot you to the finish line. I think my best time was 1:13 using this method Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Rush NL Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 So you didnt jump to the 1 checkpoint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my best time was 1:13 using this method Basically the same method I used to get it and I also was in the 1:13 area. So you didnt jump to the 1 checkpoint? I didn't. Not needed and it can be very easy to miss your jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Rush NL Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Yeah got it yesterday. 1:14.97 Did it on the same way but I jumped the first time. The jump was perfect. I used a boost at the chairs and drove good bitween it. Again a 200/200 @ Crash, I like the Forza 2gamebar btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killerc0P Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 This is ridiculous, I can't get under 1:20. Did anyone do that jump where you cut the corner ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montrossity Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 its stupid that an achievement relies on 90% luck in order to obtain it.....at least its not as bad as texas hold em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon49 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Well, after my 1,126th try at this I finally got a time of 1:14:27!!!!! Another 200/200 to add to my completed list ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e_bigworm Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Still giving me fits... Hadn't seen the "boost list" written here before, will give that one a try. Tried the jump method from the video in the other thread, and that one is too random to be relied upon. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e_bigworm Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Finally! 1:14.38 FTW! That was a tough one. Did it without the jump shortcut, too. If you're working this one, best advice I can give is boost, boost, boost. If you don't get a boost for that first powerup, go ahead and restart, you're not going to get there. Good luck, all!
