Hi all,

I was wondering how to make your car faster in lr2. I saw ZooKetra's run, and despite doing the mini game and having the boost launch off the start line, his car appeared quicker than mine. Is there anything else I missed?

Well, apart from the Taxi powerup (or powerups in 100%) we don't think theres another way of making your car faster.

@Semmlbroesel

That's weird. I don't know how, but in ZooKetra's WR run, his car was a lot faster..... I don't know what he did...

I know Zook and if he did something intentionally he would tell me. We thought for a while that if your car has less pieces its faster, but after a bunch of runs we realized it doesn't seem to matter. There wasn't a lot of testing into this game though, so keep trying stuff out, you might find something.

You also have to realize that Zook played a lot and is just really good at it. Any particular point in the run where you think that so I can maybe tell you?

@Semmlbroesel

The very first race (Dig-A-Brick). On the first straight, my car only makes it up to 85mph, but he got 90+ mph (even though I take the exact same path)

I'm not being a sore loser, I'm just curious how I can get my car to go faster :)

do the minigame bonuses apply to time trail? i presumed they didn't but bookmucksylalzs had a higher top speed in TT

I can't get under 1:19:50, no matter how hard I try.....

Okay, just to clear this up Zioplys, bookmucksylalzs is me, I was trolling Zooketra. And no, minigame bonuses don't apply, I just must have done something better than you then. (and honestly, for most of them it took me like 3-4 real laps to beat the time, which is probably why it was so easy for you to beat it again :D )

And RR, it takes some grinding. Zook said again and again that he played this game too much

All good. Just 1 Minute off the WR

@Semmlbroesel My sum of best segments is now 1:19:33

okay i'm quite late on this but from what i've gathered the last few days, the frame of the car determines your speed, and the car frames from the dino island environment are the quickest but tend to spin out quite easily

This is definitely true in Time Trial mode but from what I can tell in Adventure mode your car frame does not effect your speed.

yeah i found that out too yesterday

Another thing that few people are aware of is that the boost you get from the starting line can be shorter/longer depending on when you start accelerating. If you compare my current __** PB __** with __** Rocket __**'s you can see that my boost ends at 5:40 seconds into the race while his ends at 4:40.

The optimal time to start accelerating is actually a little bit before the third red light appears.

zio, what do you consider the best model?
