snow mountain sprint in viv's story mode

[Toxi]

is anyone else roadblocked on this time trial? seriously I'm at least 2 seconds off by the time I reach the finish how do you even do this

[jett]

Yeah I don't understand what I'm doing wrong either. Do I have to drive a super perfect race or something? I feel like I'm missing something with the high tier cars.

I managed to 100% Viv's story so I'm pretty used to driving the Coda Chrono. I can get to 2:00[imgur.com] but it took me plenty of tries to even get this time.

What I do here is to light tap the throttle to initiate a low angle drift that preserves more speed on less tight corners and use the brakes during very tight corners, especially during the 5 consecutive hairpins. Generally, corners with warning lights and roads with red lines at the apex are indicators of where you should either tap or hold the brakes so you don't hit the wall/snow. Also, you should avoid braking too much, always hit the apex, and do a clean exit without much momentum loss.

In any case, it is very important to avoid any collisions that kills your momentum since that will effectively end your run because of the abysmal acceleration this car has (light wall graze should be fine). With more practice on the track, you will eventually pass it so good luck!

Been working at it and I've gotten to 2:04. At least it does feel like I'm making consistent progress.

That's good to hear. But yeah, Viv's story is insanely hard compared to the rest and it will only get harder from here.

I didn't realize the Coda sticks to its drift if you brake while on the throttle, that helped out a lot. This story is still bone crushing hard though. Now I'm just stuck trying to win the duel against sinead

Finally got it lol, maybe this could be useful for somebody:

Not gonna lie, I also just realize this when playing through Edward and Ada story since I do Ibba and Viv story first. If only I knew this during my previous runs with the Coda lol.

And yes, Sinead duel is a huge pain in the arse to deal with.

Thanks!

Thankfully you didn't need to win the rest of the races in her story lol. Weird how the game is like that sometimes.
