Talk:Renault Alpine Celebration (Research & Development)/@comment-1.23.148.125-20170205063533

Completed the challenge successfully. Yippee!!!!

Though it took me 8 tries, Had 12 hrs left. :D.

My major observation in my failures were, I was not utilizing the nitrous to its maximum potential. And I was not able to pick up all the nitro bottles. I knew the best path by playing all those MP races. If you don't know that path, just watch the videos (posted below).

Some important tips:

1. 1st, watch all the videos, and you will find all take the same path. 1st baby step.

2. Use all three boosters.

3. Practice the map in MP, before hitting the race (preferably a similar rank/attribute car)

Anyway, here are some important actions to perform at various points in the race:

1. Start the race with triple Nitro(tap nitro 3 times quickly)

2. After falling off the ledge, triple nitro again. Or you may loose speed.

3. Then do a barrel roll. Preferably a low 1 barrel roll.

4. On the two inclined ramps, just before the high drop, do a low barrel roll. It's important that you do a low barrel roll because if you go up in the air, it will take more time to land.

5. In the high drop its preferable to land on the left side of the road, then right side, as the left side gives you a better angle into the turn, without much speed loss. Check ReV.Tamer's video (posted below)

6. After the U-turn, do try to take all the bottles till the cave exit, (where rocks fall in front). Just after the cave exit, you will be given a perfect run.

7. After the cave exit, there is a bend, and then a ramp. As soon as you enter the bend, start turning your car left, and try to hug the left border. Now hit the ramp

8. Hit the ramp doing a flat spin. Here AI may overtake you. Do not panic. :D

9. Take the next bottle, and again continue hugging the left wall. You may skip taking the next nitro bottle in the middle of the uphill path.

10. Enter the Ice cave, via ramps. Here AI will do a flat spin. So if you were lagging behind, this is the time to redeem yourself & take over. Also from here on always be on triple nitro. Do not forget to take the bottle (it will be in dead front of you)

11. Exit the Ice cave, and take the nitro bottle (again in front of you). Be on triple nitro.

12. Finish the damn race and exhausting lab. Grab the rewards. Post about your winning here!!

All these tips are taken from various videos posted on youtube. These have been mentioned, because sometimes the actions are not very apparent. Especially to the beginners.

This car has 15 mastery licenses, 3 Nitro started in challenge 5, and 275 tokens in challenge 10. Season 9 race is set on Crystal lake

There are other videos too!

As far as the experience of this TLE goes, it was manageable. But man GL could do with some less No Wrecks challenges, and "implanting the ramps with explosives and asking to do barrel roll off them". :D
