What do you think would be the fastest possible time for the First Credits Category? Like Would sub 31 be possible? I plan on running this game around April or May, but as of now just trying to figure some random things out.
I think sub 31 is definitely possible, WR right now has quite a bit of crashes and mistakes. I almost feel like sub 30 is also possible if played perfectly with close no crashes, but this would be very difficult. I haven't done any runs but I've been playing this game a lot, will hopefully have the equipment to stream soon.
Sub-30 is definitely possible. It goes without saying that minimizing crashes (especially with a car with poor acceleration like the Caddy Car) and knowing when and when not to drift are vital to the run. However, even if you practice each track hundreds of times you will still have to deal with the RNG of the other racers.
Getting caught in an opening clusterfuck (the start of the race where there are about 5-6 racers) will lose you so much time and even the ones that are ahead tend to meet you at bottle neck points.
I guess improvisation is key during these circumstances, but there are just some situations where you can't NOT hit someone.
But yeah, if you're a decent driver with incredible luck you can definitely get sub-30. My best is a 30:11 (emulator) on automatic which I've heard is slower than manual by a few seconds.
