[SupineSugar7481]

Oh joy, another trial where your lovely fellow competitors ram you into the wall on the first 90 degree turn and at every opportunity thereafter, and when you do grind through 2 wins you don’t actually get credited with the points.

[tommyfon]

Got 107 meters in my Toyota T100 Baja Truck on the Metal Bird danger sign

[SpirantCrayon22]

nice, I aim to use the cheapest car possible for stunts and the Sera is the cheapest of all of them

[SpirantCrayon22]

didn’t notice but then I pay little attention to cars I receive these days!

[Bloomy]

Bad to the Blade doesn’t appear to count as a Hot Wheels car for the Ultimate Speed Boost daily.

[AAORTA]

@Bloomy

Bad to the Blade doesn’t appear to count as a Hot Wheels car for the Ultimate Speed Boost daily.

Weird - that was what I used and it worked fine.

[Bloomy]

I couldn’t get to 200 mph on the main expressway in Mexico with it, but went to the HW expansion. Got an Ultimate Speed skill on the big vertical drop approaching the HW outpost from the north, then again thanks to the boosters. Daily didn’t check off. Tried it again, no go. Switched to the Twin Mill, got it with the same approach.

[AAORTA]

I used the motorway on the main island in Mexico. Started from the east so I hit the speed zone to avoid traffic and it was done in just a few seconds.
No biggie.
It was already tuned to X class though so that might have been the difference.

[SpirantCrayon22]

weird

[PD_Top_Gun]

I just used the stock Twin Mill on the Mexico highway. That thing can’t turn to save its life but it can top 230 MPH in a straight line.

I think for all three Danger Signs I made my first attempt and was less than 10 feet away from the goal. Whole lot of “oh come on!” there.

[SpirantCrayon22]

yes, I often try Twin Mill for speed things; turning is awful, it has this weird thing where you can’t tell when it starts to drift/skid, there’s no real feedback to indicate that you’ve lost grip
