Yeah I know you talk about this one. I just don't feel like I need it, even though it's free. I should have took this part, but anyway that won't change by much the final result.

You'll see later that I don't equip unique parts in the same time as you do, I'll probably equip them right after defeating Big Lou, equiping all at the same time. Then, I'll get another time the unique upgrades from #10 to #7, and equiping them to the Elise or Cayman, if I use one of them for the end of the run.

Part 2 is updated

It's totally possible, that considering a full run, brakes can make you gain a very little bit of time. The thing is that in my seg run, I brake as less as possible. And Sonny's Golf has already race brakes equiped. Yesterday I defeated Big Lou, and I think I did only 1 hard braking in the whole run atm. (During one Izzy's sprint).

So yeah, maybe there can be a 10 sec gain or something like that if you equip better brakes, and I might equip them during a RTA run, just in case of a problem.

I personnally find that modified brakes are useless in this game. (at least compared to the time it takes to equip better ones) Keeping the standard ones is enough. You nearly never brake hard in this game, and when I brake hard, I use as much as possible engine brake.

And as Ewil said, brakes are powerful enough to stop the car quickly if you need them.

1st part has been updated.

Are you 100% sure that the heat always drops to 1 after Kaze's 4th event? I don't remember that my heat dropped right at this point, but maybe I'm wrong.

So if it's always sure, then the route becomes pretty simple. As you said Kuru, Golf + Cayman is good (although I don't like Cayman :s), but we have to time exactly how much time it costs to buy the elise and tune it. If it takes less than 70-80 seconds, then it might be faster, still need to verify.

Moreover, in my routing I made the choice to keep the Golf to the end, because the times I get with it are similar to the Cayman, and if you do this it allows you to equip all your unique parts .

It depends only if you want to play safe or not. For a segmented I can take risks with cops, but in a RTA run, I think that it would be insane ^^

Count me in if you wanna make a skype group ;) I'd like to race too, tho I can't stream at the moment. I'm also on X360 but whatever, this is a long, long run.

Well that means that you're doing good :D (no I'm not promoting myself ^^)

Saw your message too late about the time you need to glitch the events. Anyway we know that 2 entries in the menu is too slow but we can glitch as much as we want in one shot. So the thing is just to know what can be glitched and most important, when. Working on it but it's quite long to do it.

BTW, the times you see aren't my segmented times. These are just times I did when I de-rusted on the game half a year ago. Most of the tracks are 10 secs faster. I'll upload this night my Intro/#15 segment, so you'll be able to compare much properly, but please note that my times aren't perfect. I just try to drive cleanly as much as possible.

Got a question : When I'll run MW on PC, I'll probably won't have U2 too, so I won't have any savefile. Which implies that I won't be able to get 10k extra cash. As it's quite unfair, is it possible to use 1 (really just one) in game code that gives 10k cash before starting the career, if and only if U2 savefile isn't used? Or maybe I don't need to possess the game, and just have a savefile on my PC to make it work, dunno.

Big Lou's 1v1 tracks are unlocked late too.

Yeah I didn't say that we shouldn't glitch these ones ofc ^^ But the only circuit in the requirements can't be glitched because it's time loss.

It's the same problem for Big Lou. You can't glitch both 1v1 circuits till you've done all requirements.

Wait, what? Why?

I won't restart another run just for that.

It depends on how many tracks you want to glitch. For 1 track count 35-40 seconds (on X360, PC should be faster due to loading, but by 5 secs max.) Then add 5-6 seconds for each more track you want to glitch.

If we play the 'Omega' circuit glitched, it's 15 seconds slower than doing the usual races (quickly timed that, might be slightly different, but you can't gain time, unless I messed up my calculations really hard.)

Yes. There is only 1 circuit, called 'Omega', on Izzy's requirements. You can glitch it as soon as you beat Vic. BUT, the circuit 'Diamond', on which you race 1v1 with Izzy, is unlocked when you've won 4 races + done the milestones....

And as it's a time loss to go in the menu more than once, we have to choose which race to glitch. And the choice is quickly done, as Diamond 1 lap time is close to 2 mins.

If I'd be an admin, I'd say : "As long as the run is visible in its full length, and does not contain suspicious editing, or anything strange, it's OK"

But I'm not an admin Kappa

But for the music I have to agree. I think it's normal that we should hear only the game's sound and not something else that can hide something suspicious.

To avoid any problems, the best thing to do is to glitch the tracks you want to play, when you need to glitch them. By doing that you have only one entry in the menu per blacklist member, and anyway, doing more than is ofc slower.

As far as I am atm (#12), every track is glitchable, but Izzy's 1v1 circuit can be glitched only when the 1v1 is possible, not before. This is the only exception and it means that 'Omega' circuit in her requirements is not glitchable because it would be a time loss.

I can add also that you can glitch #14 races ever easier, because you have to go in the safehouse to select the Golf. SO it's even faster.

I'm still continuing my run, and I'll inform you of which tracks can be glitched or not.

NFSU2 doesn't exist on 360. However Xbox version should be compatible on 360.

I think it might be the same for PS2/3 version, dunno it works too, I don't have a PS3.

And btw, today I noticed that the circuit 'Diamond' played on 1v1 vs Izzy can't be glitched until you've done all requirements, not before.

You can glitch every race you have unlocked. So for example, as soon as you've got access to the safehouse, you can go to the race menu and glitch all the circuits you need for #15. TO glitch #14 races, you need to have defeated Sonny at least.

I don't know if it's possible with another profile for NG+. All I know is that if you load a save in which you glitched before saving, the glitches won't work anymore. But this is not the same situation. If you can try, do it. I might be able to give it a shot tomorrow if needed.

@Ewil, yeah I already told about that previously. I tested it a bit some weeks ago, and I don't have enough data to say if it's faster to take the elise or not. I'll have a close look at it when I'll come back to Rockport.

All I know atm is that I can gain 2 seconds at a start of every race compared to the Golf.

If you talk about the fastlap glitch done with a second profile, you should forget it, because this is exactly the same glitch than the current one but longer to setup. And you can't glitch every race at once in a run because you have to unlock them.

Plus as you know this game is 100% RNG, and we don't have time to rest. So I think it's better to reduce the time it needs to be done, so we'll be able to do better times. This is just my opinion tho.
