Talk:Enduro Double Down/Falcon F7/@comment-27403942-20170813072503

This was the first Enduro where I went straight thru, doubling each time, and after the 50th race was rewarded with... no car. Back to the beginning to run thru the first two tiers again, then get the car.

I saw the nice chart (THANKS to the poster!) showing a finish with 73,880, but I didn't think GL would actually make people run thru the beginning races again after doing 1-50. What the heck was the point, GL?

For anyone still racing: it was much better to spend a few tokens along the way and go straight thru than to bail out and go back to the beginning prematurely. I spent 150 tokens (race 20, crashed in a flawless race, auto-passed), 25 (re-rolled challenge 39) and 150 (final Ace Race, crashed due to glare, paid to retry) for a total of 325 tokens spent.

Ch 36: 55.737

Ch 43: 1:15.042

Ch 50: 1:18.781  (I crashed, so failed)

Ch 50 retry: 1:18.804  (succeeded!)

CHALLENGE 50, Venice: Don't worry if the AI starts out ahead. You can pull a tighter turn and gain the lead on the near-360 turn. Don't force it thru the following tight spots or you may crash like I did the first time. I relaxed the second time, may have lost the lead momentarily going around the last turn before the straightaway, but if you're triple-boosted you should then easily beat the AI down the long straightaway, last curves, turn and final straight.

5555 5454 Challenge 50 was the only one I didn't win by at least three seconds. Because the Falcon seems better as a class king for TLEs than for MP, I nearly MaxProed it for the Enduro.
