I’m not sure which tracks or if it’s a certain type of sprint/point-to-point, but some of them are missing checkpoints completely so if the track isn’t roughly a straight line then you can just cut across and go directly to the end point.
There were a few of these in FH3, I hated them. So cheap.
Those races are intentionally designed like that. I think they’re called ‘Freeroam Races’ or something along those lines because they want players to find their own route to the finish line.
In my experience of racing the past few hours, most shortcuts are a high risk high reward. I decided to stay on the GPS path a few times and was able to get Top 3 without much trouble because many of the players wrecked or flipped.
I know what you mean though. Those races were fun the first few times, then I started getting tired of them and just wanted to have standard checkpoint races.
Ohhhhh that’s what that was. Okay i thought something it just kept fast travelling us to the next race and skipping the freeroam part for some reason.
Damn, yeah i wish it just got rid of them and was just real race after real race with no time wasted. But i guess it is unranked adventure, hopefully ranked doesn’t have them right! (bet it does though)
