Best Cars for Wreckless Runs + Driving Tips

##In short

* Derby: Roamer -> Blaster XL -> Switchblade
* Race: Mad Rash -> Lancea -> Lentus
* Street: Sparrowhawk -> Canyon (incl. Street Rural Cup) -> Road King
Because the Sparrowhawk is quite hard to handle, you should choose the Crusader for your first runs. It's almost as fast but much easier to drive and more reliable.

##Driving tips

* When using Nitrous, make sure you're in the highest gear possible. This will avoid losing acceleration by shifting.
* Some powerful cars, such as the Switchblade, have a rather wobbly handling in lower gears. Avoid losing control by shifting up, then give a short Nitrous blast to set your car straight.
* Some vehicles, such as the Switchblade (again), seem to handle differently, depending on the gear. For example: in 4th gear, it's much stiffer, so shift down to 3rd gear to slide through tight turns.
* Most cars, with the exception AWD cars, have no traction when starting in first gear. This results in lower handling and acceleration. Counter this by shifting up to second or even third gear at the start of the race. Make sure you rev high but stay below the redline.
* Light cars, such as the Lancea, don't take jumps very well. There is a risk of bouncing after landing, which often leads to losing control over your car. You can lower the risk by not accelerating up the ramp or while mid-air.

##Data

My car recommendations are based on the following race results. None of them are exceptionally good or bad, so they are a decent indicator on how each car performs on specific stages. All compared cars received the same tuning (basically maxed out, except strength tuning). The winning car from the previous stage is included in the next stage's ranking as well, in case it's good enough to keep up with these cars.

Derby Class [Wreckless]

Hello everyone!

Last month I successfully achieved my goal, Derby class wreckless under 1:30. In this guide I'll try to explain how I did it and possibly help you to get new PB.

#BEGINNING
Your start money is 5000 CR. I always preferred Malice as a start car. Believe me, you want to go with **Roamer**. Even if you save money with malice and spend them on upgrades before you start racing, you will lose time later. So, you have stock, heavy and slow 4x4 Roamer. Let's begin first cup.
#DRIVING, STRATEGY, TIPS
Your racing style should be **CLEAN** & **SMOOTH**. This means to use optimal driving line, less drifting and avoid props, which can slow you down. Obtaining nitro is another case. Cut corners and try not to lose speed on corner exits. Be very gentle while steering, especially if you just want to avoid something on track, simply avoid aggressive steering which results drift and losing momentum of your car. Avoid dangerous jumps (again, obtaining nitro is another case) which can slow you down. Prefer straight sections of track.

Nitro is another case, like I said. Use nitro if you lose momentum or while exiting sharp corner to gain speed on straight sections. You can also use nitro to destroy heavy structures such a gate or wood palettes which can slow you down or makes your car out of control. If you lack nitro, go ahead and try your luck on dangerous jumps, if you want. Most of time you'll obtain nitro for air time so if you have nitro, use it before you jump to have longer air time. Never use nitro, when you are achieved top speed of your car, use it to gain momentum. Some lightweight types of props are "nitro farms", for example glass, lines of cones and pipes in Water Canals, smash them if you can.

If you crash, overspin or just lose a lot of speed with momentum, hold brake and spam "reset" button to reset your car back to track with speed. Resetting your car may be faster than gaining momentum from scratch. You can also skip one corner in City Central 1, just enter the park and drive to the right, near the stone fence, then hold brakes and spam reset button to get successfully back on track with speed behind the corner exit.
#DERBY INTIATION CUP
This and Sunday Smash Derby cup is most important. Why? Because racing style is a little bit different than you can expect. You don't want to be clean and fastest, but **aggressive**. That's because you want more race rewards and smashing opponents is the only way you can earn additional money. That money will be used on upgrades. You should be able to overtake opponents by one lap so smash them from behind and farm money. Three main categories for upgrading: **Engine, Gearbox** and **Exhaust**.

So, we completed first race. Big question: How much money you have? Let's see what we have on shopping list :D :

**Roamer Upgrade Parts**
Engine:
Fuel & Filter Kit: 1200 CR
Nitro Kit: 1700 CR
Modified Tuning Kit: 1000 CR
Modified Turbo Kit: 1600 CR
--------
Gearbox:
Modified Gearbox: 800 CR
--------
Exhaust:
Modified Exhaust: 200 CR
Modified Manifold: 200 CR
--------
Full Engine Upgrades: **5500 CR**
Full Gearbox Upgrades: **800 CR**
Full Exhaust Upgrades: **400 CR**
Total: **6700 CR**
--------

While upgrading, choose that parts, to spend much money as you can. In case you have enough money for two parts under one section, go with two upgrades instead of one expensive. After first race, you will definitely spend money for an upgrade. For example: I have 1800 CR after first race so I'll go with **Nitro Kit [1700 CR]** and NOT with **Modified Tuning Kit [1000 CR]**. But if I have 2200 CR after first race, I'll go with **Fuel & Filter Kit [1200 CR]** and **Modified Tuning Kit [1000 CR]** because I can buy two parts instead of one. While upgrading with small amount of money, stay in one section and try to avoid crossing between two and more sections. In case you have enough money to buy all rest of parts, go for it.

So we spend money after first race. Let's use same strategy in second race. Be **aggressive** again and earn additional money. After second race, spend money for upgrades.

#SUNDAY SMASH DERBY
In this cup, be more **clean** & **smooth** than previous cup. Avoid time losing crashes and crash only when you have speed and opponent not. You'll have to get enough money to buy rest of parts from our shopping list. Try to upgrade car after you get enough money. After completing this cup you should have Roamer with all engine and gearbox upgrades.
#BAY AREA DERBY CUP, SPRING SMASH DERBY CUP, CANALS SPECIALS DERBY CUP
Use same strategy like in Sunday Smash Derby cup. Crash only in great situation, try to get additional race awards from smashing but keep in mind that you have to be fast.
#METAL SMASH DERBY CUP, TARMAC DERBY CUP, SPECIAL DERBY CUP
For these last three cups you will buy new car, which you just unlocked. I recommend to go with **Splitter** because it seems to be best choice in Handling/Speed/Money. For this car, the shopping list is more expensive than Roamer.

**Splitter Upgrade Parts**

Engine:
Port & Polish: 1600 CR
Fuel & Filter Kit: 1200 CR
Nitro Kit 1: 1700 CR (We don't want that one)
Nitro Kit 2: 5000 CR
Modified Tuning Kit: 1000 CR (We don't want that one)
Racing Tuning Kit: 3000 CR
Modified Turbo Kit: 1600 CR
--------
Gearbox:
Modified Gearbox: 800 CR
Clutch & Flywheel: 700 CR
--------
Exhaust:
Modified Exhaust: 200 CR (We don't that one)
Racing Exhaust: 700 CR
Modified Manifold: 200 CR
--------
Full Engine Upgrades: **12400 CR**
Full Gearbox Upgrades: **1500 CR**
Full Exhaust Upgrades: **900 CR**
Total: **14800CR**
[NOTE: We will NOT buy Nitro Kit 1, Modified Tuning Kit and Modified Exhaust, totals are without these parts.]
--------

So... buy new car first and then sell Roamer. If you have at this point **14800 CR**, congrats, buy full engine, gearbox and exhaust upgrades and complete the run. If not, then you will lose additional time on track and in menus, unfortunately... The magic is to have enough money for new car and all parts that we want. Selling upgraded Roamer will give us additional 5650 CR. Let's do some calculation:
**Incomes**
(1st) Derby Intiation Cup: 900 CR
(1st) Sunday Smash Derby: 1100 CR
Promote to Level 2 reward: 5000 CR
(1st) Bay Area Derby Cup: 1500 CR
(1st) Spring Smash Derby Cup: 1700 CR
(1st) Canals Special Derby Cup: 1600 CR
Promote to Level 3 reward: 7500 CR
Selling Roamer: 5850 CR
Incomes if you win all 5 cups and sell Roamer (No race rewards): **25150 CR**

**Expenses**
Roamer: 0 CR (Because we buy it from starting money)
Full Roamer Engine Upgrades: 5500 CR
Full Roamer Gearbox Upgrades: 800 CR
Full Roamer Exhaust Upgrades: 400 CR
Splitter: 12000 CR
Full Splitter Engine Upgrades: 12400 CR
Full Splitter Gearbox Upgrades: 1500 CR
Full Splitter Exhaust Upgrades: 900 CR
All expenses we have in this run: **33500 CR**

As you can see, you must get **8350 CR** in race rewards in your whole run. To be clear, Roamer will be upgraded after first two cups and you get 7000 CR only for winning cups and promote to level 2. Why to be aggressive first two races of our run and get rewards then? Because you have heavy car and slow AI. That's why you have to lose time in beginning and profit in last three cups. Last three cups are about speed and smooth driving. Having fully upgraded Splitter before starting last three cups is best scenario, which will boost your PB a lot because you have fast car and don't have to be in upgrade menus.

#ENDING
If you get to this point of guide, you should be able to get new PB immediately :D . Go for it. You have everything you need to achieve sub 1:30. Basically, all the magic really happen in first two cups, where you lose time to profit later (Because you have faster car and already did upgrades, you easily overtake yourself because of this later).

How to import save files for Race/Street class speedruns with Steam digital copy of the game

Did you ever wonder how to import the savefiles for speedrunning with steam into the game? Probably yes, since you clicked on this guide - don't worry, it's easy.

First of all, you need to open the SteamLibrary folder (in case you have more disks, it'll be located where you're saving your steam games/downloading them). Then follow this path:

SteamLibrary -> steamapps -> common -> Flatout2 -> Savegame

This is where are your saves stored. Import there the savefile you want (Race one will replace your 8th profile, Street one the 5th).

Hope this helped you and see you on the leaderboards!

I have a playlist of all the skips so far, I'm not done uploading them all so there is more than there is in this playlist. I will update it whenever I can.

Negative Money Glitch (NMG) Explained

The Negative Money Glitch or No Money Glitch was first discovered by TedGN. By getting your money balance into a negative value, you can purchase any car or upgrade for free, as long as the negative balance is kept up and the respective car has been unlocked.

You can set it up straight at the start of your run. 
1. You start off with 5000 CR. First, I recommend you buy the Malice to lower your balance to as close to 0 as possible. (-4000 CR left, 1000 CR remaining)
2. Go to the upgrade shop, select the 'Engine' category, and look for the Modified Tuning Kit (price: 1000 CR). 
3. Quickly tap left or right and then [ENTER] with a super short delay (like 0.1s). It worked if you selected the Turbo or Nitrous but not if you selected the Modified Tuning Kit. 
4. Purchase the upgrade and you’ll see that your money balance is negative (-600 CR if you went for the Turbo, -700 CR if you chose Nitrous). 

Now you can buy any car and upgrade for free.
**Remember to keep your balance negative, else you will need to set up the glitch once more.**

Using any car in the Finals

It's possible to use Street or Race class cars in the Derby Finals, and vice versa. The first race needs to be completed with the car of the respective class, such as Derby in Derby Finals. After the first race, go to your garage and select any car you like, including cars from other classes.

In speedruns, this allows you to use the Road King in the Derby and Race Finals and save a couple of minutes.
