You're right Zlatan. As I played more and more with my max pro Vulcan, I noticed the Hussaryas accelerate just a little bit faster at first and then the Vulcan starts accelerating faster at around 200km/h. The difference is barely noticeable so a triple boosted Hussarya can always cause you problems at the start. Thank God their nitro duration, their drifting radius and their top speed is much worse so if you can evade any problems at the start, they no longer pose a threat if you know the track well and if you follow an ideal line nailing the track.

But it could be that most good drivers have the Vulcan already so Hussarya users are mostly underdog drivers. I ran into ace-like drivers in a Hussarya doing ticketed races only a couple of times.

I went up from 1790 to 1950 ratings in just one and a half days! But then the max pro races got flooded with max pro MP4 31s and Arashes with guys with only 1300 ratings or so. I even ran into a max pro MP4 31 user with a 980 rating! So you lose points with the slightest mistake if you run into them. I lost 17 rating points coming second behind a 1200 rated MP4 31 user lol :D

So I started training to master each track with my Vulcan looking at youtube vids and doing solo races. I totally mastered 10 tracks so far, being able to consistently do the best run possible in them.

I found out that in max pro races, you have to race almost exclusively as you race in a time limited event, trying to nail the track as perfectly as possible. With my previous go to MP car, the 1234 Cobra, you had to fight with your opponents first to take them out and only then concentrate on nailing the track. But at max pro speeds it's imperative to concentrate on taking the fastest lines and start preparing the car for each turn in advance instead of fighting other drivers. I learned to fight them only if they block the racing line or if they leave me no choice. Even then I fight them if I have no other choice left. And I try to deliver a fatal blow coz, if you fail to knock them down being entangled into each other slows you down too much, even if you don't wreck outright.

In any case, max pro racing is extremely fun! I should be able to hit the Champion League when I'm done mastering each track with the Vulcan. I also noticed that mastering one track after another with the Vulcan also helps me greatly with the Vette! Even though my Vette is still one suspension upgrade shy of full max pro.

And the best thing about max pro is that there's no car rated above yours so it's totally down to your skill, except for the occasional cheaters and gangs.

Another thing I noticed, some clan members stop at the finish line, after they help their clan member who's doing a ticket race. For instance, one of them took me out in San Diego with a kamikaze attack when I was leading. We both wrecked. His team mate got the lead. The clan member who was doing a free race to bump his mate was second and I was following him closely. And then he slowed down at the finish line to let me pass. Interesting...
