[PS3] The Great Race

[tsouryavong13]

If you've played any of the midnight club series, there are races in those games that give you a start and a finish point, and you can take any route you want to get to the finish line. That's what this race is. There are 2 points, a start and a finish. You can take any way you want to take to get to the finish line.

Awesome idea, I actually made one called Pointless (a Cp on every furthest compass point) thing is everyone will quit after 5 mins as they do not understand the concept, add that to the fact if they respawn they are f*cked it won't get much love from the wider community, but if you have a niche crew you should have lots of fun

I made something similar, with four checkpoints (at each LS Customs only). It's a real shame you have to go to them in the correct order.

 

I had people not understand it at all, people who rage quit after crashing and re-spawning back at the start. And there wasn't much competition even amongst those who got it, because the best routes between the far-flung checkpoints weren't that hard to work out. It's a decent concept though.

That's why I made a start and finish, and the fact that you can take basically any route you want to the finish.

Having no intermediate checkpoints is certainly an improvement over mine.

 

But just looking at the map I can see the obvious quickest route; from the start, take the road leading away at 1 o'clock and it continues to become the freeway, then get off the freeway opposite the casino/racetrack and follow the reverse of Dipping In. No need to slow down, and there is a break in the central reservation of the freeway in a convenient place to avoid the junction. No need to brake at all!

Or if you choose offroading, you can go offroading to the checkpoint. But be careful, you could blow up.
