You're right, having to deal with the Vette, makes controlling the Vulcan easier lol :D

And I had said I wasn't sure the Vette could catch the Vulcan even in a 2 lap race in Barcelona. I was dead wrong! A really good Vette driver (he had a rating above 2300) overtook me near the end of the first lap in a 2 lap Barcelona Reverse race! I had done a perfect run, one that's really close to record Barcelona Reverse runs done in youtube! I regretted not knocking him down at the start lol :D

This Vette beast can defeat any ace Vulcan driver in a lot of tracks in 2 lap races if it is not knocked down at the start and if driven by an ace Vette driver.

On the other hand, I didn't have the time to play at all yesterday but today I reached 2072 ratings in 10 tickets with the Vulcan, sticking to the tracks I mastered. One of them was French Guyana 1 lap. And I started first place. When a Vulcan in pole position does a mastered ace one lap race there it just can't lose. And that's the main downfall of MP in Asphalt 8.

So I just went first from start to finish in one lap, triple nitro tapping and taking the fastest line all the way.

There are a lot of tracks in Asphalt where a triple boosted Vulcan in pole position just can't lose a one lap race if driven excellently. The guy at the second place might be the best ace and triple boosted but he won't catch the guy in the pole position.

In two lap races it's a different story though. You have to guess how the guy behind you is spending his nitro. If he's saving a little bit and your spending it as fast as possible, he'll catch you. On the other hand, if you try to save some nitro for the second lap (i.e. not spend all your nitro right before the finish line of the first lap) he might spend his nitro all the way and still catch you before the end of the first lap.

Interesting dynamics.
