@ TweakRacer

Those 90 degree turns are lethal. But don't let that stop you.

Patagonia, Iceland and Venice are the tracks you need to prepare for. So much room for skids there, but with your pre-emptive approach you should be fine!

@ FrankyThunder

Now's a good time to consider upgrading more to be on the safe side once you beat the Patagonia challenges. Keep working on your Drive Train first and crank it all the way up to 10, then work on your Tires.

Some of the sprint challenges give just enough time to beat on higher Tunings than your current one.

It also reduces the need for Extra Tanks when you upgrade, because a lot of the tracks have Nitro bottles spread so far apart and the X2 eats through Nitro like crazy!

I've managed to go back and complete all those Tours where I lost tires because of the bad runs. I have been watching YouTube videos to get the best idea of what to expect and the most ideal Tunings for each track.

Iceland went pretty well, save for a few close calls where the X2 bounced on a flat stretch of road and went straight into the walls.

This evening, Venice opened for me and it's not been too difficult so far. I've learned to control the car a little better and it skids a bit less, but still happens occasionally. I was even able to fully complete Iceland which I had been worried about before I did it.

Didn't have to change my sensitivity settings either, since I use the same one for every vehicle I've ever won.

I'm also aiming to get all the trophies so I can finally use my MP4-25. I know people are saying that the Rezvani will beat the MP4-25 on all tracks but that won't stop me from getting that car. I did some calculations before starting the Championship, and if all goes according to plan, I will have the X2 at 8-0-10-0 and the MP4-25 at 10-0-10-2.

This was with starting out having only 15 CREs before the Event

@ ZlatanS

I know, it's a tough choice between pre-emptive drifting or unpredictable skidding. It also ruins some of the Perfect Run sub-goals.

At least the X2 doesn't randomly explode like the IE!

@ SurfNSlide

Here's a good tactic to get those Perfect Runs : drive only at Stage 1 Nitro and drift a lot in the center of the road.

It tends to skid a lot less that way!
