General tips

----------- TURFS ----------


- Tutorial:

Always try to get a push by teammates when activated; try to devine when they will overtake you and wait for the push. Sara s one can save 5 sec.

- Marcus's Turf: Stock Lancer means no NOS and overtake some opponents could be not so easy without losing some time: Arjen and Glover however seem to have the best acceleration at the start (even than you) so it won't be any problems. However, PK likes to ram into you and his teammates so don't race near him or you risk to lose 10 sec (sbinnala confirm). Crunch is OK. Watch out also to Marcus Boss Race: don't overtake immediately the AIs on the right or you may have issues to pass them cleanly: often a traffic car spawns before the tunnel an AIs always break, so exploit this momento to pass them.
Like in tutorial, getting pushes help a to save time.

- Striker's Turf: nothing to mention here, only watch out to activate Dylan in the chicane of the first sprint cuz he likes to sbin his car. The rest is quite easy.

- Sly's Turf: The whole Eastside crew is easy to beat, exept for West (lol): that guy can rubberband you badly on twisty track (like Sly Boss race). One mention to East Tunnel: after the tunnel don't cut the turn on the left otherwise you will face a weird bug (the car will descrease to first or second gear and will stay there until you don't break) but pass on the right.

- Poorboy's Turf: Easy races and Lancer is enough upgrade to not have bad surprises.

- Layla 3's Turf: In the delivery race, go to the right after the first fork: GPS may be not so fast to say you to turn right.

- Layla 1's Turf: easy turf

- Steve's Turf: When appoaching the ring (Westside Sprint), activate one drafter to gain speed in exit corner. You may have some issues to knockdown Mega's crew cuz you race with Lancer: don't leave the highway or you won't be able to catch up them.

- Buddy's Turf: Easy turf with Elise

- Deamon's Turf: Opponents like to bug in the Highway Pillar, use this to kd some of them quickly. 

- Jenna's Turf: In the escape (final section) don't turn immediately in the narrow chicanes but turn on the 90 degrees turn: you will save much speed in this way.

- MK's Turf: Easy Turf

- Scotty's Turf: Everything is pretty easy, except the final Sprint (because you don't have your teammates): however there are 2 points when opponents breaks: first one is after the fork and the second one is before the 270 degrees turn: watch out to not being stucked in the mass because catch up the Lambo and SL65 is pretty impossible here.

- Clutch's Turf: the most difficult turf: not only because opponents are pretty fast compared to Scotty races but overall due the Junkyard Blitz KO. Rubberband is very strong and IAs goes very fast in the turns (for some stupid reasons). Here s some tips: At the start don't try to overtake them because you won't pass them easily and you risk to rip: Wait for the entry of the Junkyard: AIs tend to take the turn wide and break a lot. This is the only spot where you can overtake them easily and gain some advantages. The turn right before the tunnel is also crucial: don't wallride it or you risk to bug the car/sbin and bye bye your run. Take a straight line in order to exit at least at 210 km/h (IAs however exit faster than this) to have some chances to win. In the final straight, they tend to crash into traffic sings and lose some speed but not always. MTOMP (the Lambo opponent) is the faster AI in this race.

- EX and Giant Loop: With the SL65 full upgraded is very easy to win races.


-------------- Use of drafters --------------

First of all in Otc you can use 2 teammates: taking 2 drafters has a big advantages overall in Lancer's Turf. Here's some details.

1) Again, try always to get a push from them: drafters tend always to pass you at max speed and can save you much time than tutorial pushes.

2) Slipstream + N20 is a letal combo

3) Use them right after a turn or if you are in highways, when you don't have max speed.

4) DON'T use them when you run with the SL65 or, only when you are 100% sure that you will gain time. 
--> 2 problems: they have difficulty to overtake you and the game let them activate forever until they pass you again. This is a big problem because if they spawn near the end and overtake you, they might not have enough time to break and let you win the race (remind: you must win the race, even if teammates win the game consider a loss.)
The second issue is that they tend to bug a lot, break randomly, stop the slipstream in turns and so on. Plus with the SL65 you will have enough speed to win easily so don't use them.
