Found this video explaining how to unlock each vehicle without using the cheat code

Hey everyone,

Can we please add in Individual Time Trial tracks for each course, direction and category? I will be running and recording these.

I've started with a couple tracks:

Thanks

Thinking of changing the timing method to clear confusion; I've done some calculations based on only track finish time added from rewatching the runs and here are my results:

Whitzwolf: 2.30.20 1.56.65 2.15.01 2.24.63 2.04.43 2.35.75 2.32.01 - 2.34.63 (As I skipped the leaderboard too fast to see my time I will use the slowest time) 2.01.09 2.10.29 2.46.47 2.20.87 2.50.74

23.325.576 23.330.76 Final time: 28m30s76ms

mcilrain: 2.28.32 - 2.28.99 (leaderboard not clear) avg = 2.28.65 1.55.90 2.09.81 2.20.25 2.06.21 2.32.67 2.30.72 1.59.21 - 2.03.34 (leaderboard not clear) avg = 2.01.27 2.11.26 2.35.44 - 2.39.19 (leaderboard not clear) avg = 2.37.31 2.16.14 - 2.17.67 (leaderboard not clear) avg = 2.16.90 1.24.14 + 1.21.20 = (no leader board but from the laps at race end) 2.45.34

avg : 23.290.629 avg : 23.296.29 Final avg time: 27m56s29ms

fast : 22.346.527 fast : 22.351.27 Final fastest time: 27m51s27ms

slow : 23.295.635 slow : 23.301.35 Final slowest time: 28m01s35ms

I haven't been able to accurately do Jck's time due to how fast he skips through lol

My only gripe with this is if we do only calculate this method then it kind of removes a little the spirit of speed running as inbetween menus would not count. It does however very easily simplify how fast we all are. I'm not sure if time is tied to FPS however.

Thoughts on this?

I've been running with 12 only

I tested each vehicle on Mali Desert Normal as its more flat than Sahara and doesn't have restrictions unlike the circuit courses so I could test the top speed of each car, truck and bike in Dakar 2 at their longest gear ratio.

Settings used (for Mali Desert) : Tyre Compound: Hard MAX Tyre Pressure: Low MAX Gear Ratio: Long MAX Suspension: Hard MAX and Manual gearbox

My results for top speed, lowest to highest:

Cars: Mitsubishi Pajero: 110 Mitsubishi L200 Straker: 111 Toyota Hilux: 113 Ford Ranger Protruck: 118 Nissan Pickup: 119 Nissan Patrol GR: 120 Mitsubishi Pajero Evo: 121 Aixam Mega Desert: 124

Trucks: Hino: 99-100 Tatra: 104-105 MAN: 110 Kamaz: 115-116

Motorbikes: BMW 650: 93-94 Honda 400: 94-95 KTM Rally 660: 97 Kawasaki KLR660: 103-104 BMW 900RR: 111-112 KTM LC8: 112-113

What's your opinion on best car?

I tend to go with Nissan Patrol or the Ford pickup although Hilux and Axim seem to be really fast on desert stages
