Drag Racing

U have a great car. Driving each car is different. If we have the same app then there is a setting called "Vibrations" turn it on. It will help u feel ur car out a lil better. The above responder stated that u should "start" in second gear. In the app its not possible to switch Metrofaxhttp://www.metrofax.com/ gears before the lil chick drops the flag, so here is what u do...

1.) When starting, rev your engine to the point where the tachometer (Shift light) turns green. Hold it there until the race starts, u will start off with an extra boost.

2.) With the Koenigsegg Agera R, as soon as u "Go!" off the starting line, immediately shift up to 3rd gear. This will give u an additional boost, as the engine RPM'swill match better with the higher gear. (Note: Better tires, and a lighter weight car give u better grip at all shift points, thus, better acceleration).

3.) After shifting to 3rd gear, allow the RPM gage "catch up" and wait for the tachometer to light up in blue (Good shift). As soon as u shift into 4th gear, Hit the Nitrous. This is the final boost to your engine in the acceleration, and it will push u to ur max speed faster.

4.) After you hit the nitrous in 4th gear, try to perfect shift the rest of the way to 7th gear. It will help with the acceleration of the car as well.

Summary: Let the gear shifting attribute to the acceleration of the car in the initial launch as it will allow for the nitrous to act as a secondary booster toward the middle of the drag strip allowing the car to push to its max speed at a much faster rate than it would if used in the beginning of the race.

Good luck. Hope this helps.

Good tips. I just picked up this game after reading this thread. Looks fun...but I should really wait until after work to test it out :)

stage 6: lambo 1/4
stage 7:eek:bviously the 599 1/2

I have been having trouble with ranking. Everytime i start to get high in the rankings i cant connect and lose my rankings. They said they fixed with new update but now everytime i go to pro league,(random) it starts to load and then sends me back. Now i cant even get in. Anyone else haVing same issues.

This is from DragRacings FB page.

We had to temporarily disable random races in Pro League until the server upgrade is completed. We apologize for this inconvenience and work hard to get the new and faster servers up and running and restore full functionality ASAP

MY OPINION!!! when i look to buy a new car ( im a quarter mile racer... ) i look for power to grip ratio... you dont want the most powerful car if it dont have the grip to handle it... in a quarter mile if your spinning out through more than half your 2nd gear... your screwd... find a car thats grip is atleast CLOSE to the power. and if there is a lil more power... just make sure to buy tires before losing weight.. losing weight will make you them extra 10ths or 100ths of a second faster.. but if u lose to much u start to lose grip... like i said... try and get it to not spin out longer than half way through 2nd... upgrade your car... test it.. if your spinnin out to much buy some tires... if you have GREAT grip... upgrade more power or lose some weight... til u start to lose grip... then get tires n so on... grip is VERY important.. just as important as raw power

Hi All, I'm running a level 8 Audi R8 V10 MTM Biturbo - my best for the quarter mile is 8.127 (consistently running under 8.2 and half mile 12.443) This is with NO tuning and using the strategy set out below. I dont care much for the half mile as i top out at 211 mph but seem to win 9/10 of every race with this. My strategy is start at idle, shift up at 5k, 7k, 7.5k nos, then perfect shifts the rest (8k)
It is maxed out apart from the weight which i have only at level 1 - the car has 1125bhp and 335NOS and i think it gets the power down much heavier with the weight kept high. Weight is 2858lbs and grip 17194. If i sell the car i get 1.45mill and i have 750k in the bank so im basically going to save up 2 mill over the next few days and then upgrade to the Veyron SS and tune it up. Basically the more powerful the car keep it heavy as you can and you will see all that power transferred to low times.

I am racing in the pro league random and I keep having connection lost issues when I race! This is very frustrating because I finish the race and then when results go to POP up it says connection lost. I don't receive any money, but my standing in the league drops. This just started recently. I was ranked around 2500 and was moving up quickly now I am down to like 1600. Anyone else having this issue

I have an awesome tune, but for some reason the program seems to be locking my gears in first and second. I have looked at other people's youtube videos and everyone seems to be running fine. I was just wondering if anyone else out there is having a problem with what seems like a program problem. During launch, it revs at whatever rpm you are at when the flag drops, stays at that rpm for a few seconds before it revs past, and by then you're screwed. I've tried other tunes, and it does the same thing. I've tried launching from 1st, 2nd, and third, revved all the way and just on green. Please let me know how to fix this.

Got my NR 599 GTB down to 8.601 on the 1/4 and 12.420 on the 1/2 mile now, i really wanna get below 600 on the 1/4 and 420 on the 1/2mile, got my gear ration tuned good i believe after reading around on this tread and my shifting and NOS use is ok too, only maybe some have better times on both runs and wanna share so i can get better times :D

Also got the Hennessey Venom GT that I'm tuning now and using the 599 to make money to tune :p

My RX8 is stored away now in my garage and i only use it sometimes for fun :D
