Drag racing

[RingLeader]

So I actually this game quite a bit. But this part of the game needs to be removed. It’s done very poorly. I’ve lost hundreds and not because of a skill issue.
I’ve done the practice for each racer and won, they dont even keep up, but then you start the race and somehow they’re magically a superstar racer. Just by pass you no matter what you do. It’s broken all to ♥♥♥♥

Hello! Have you visited the auto body shop that is across the street from the Logistics job and down the way a bit? That's where you can modify your drag racing vehicle to beat the competition in the drag racing location.

Well sorry to say, but it's a skill issue on your part OP. Now considering that I like the drag racing, then I'll be very upset if it gets removed.

How’s it a skill issue when I do the exact same thing in the real race as the practice? Whatever car you race against acts completely different in the practice then the real race. Making practice completely useless. Drag racing is broken.

i’m just not sure I want to waste money on it if the car I’m racing gets magically faster than me no matter what I do.

I understand what you're saying. However, I've yet to see someone win a drag race without modifying their vehicle(s). The nitro boost and enhanced acceleration will provide you with a significant speed boost that the computer opponent struggles to beat. You could always visit the auto body shop to enhance the brakes in your vehicle(s) for better performance while driving on the roads to and from wherever you're going and simply forgo drag racing if you choose.

I’ll give it a try, it’s just kind of disappointing that it isn’t possible to beat even the very first racer without modifications. I mean, it’s a beat up van lol

That's essentially the issue though. You'll never win in drag races if you don't modify your car. Doesn't matter what the AI is running, all of their vehicles are modified.

At the very least, you need a few of the performance parts, excluding nitrous.

I’ve played about every racing game out there, from test drive to forza to grid, it’s never been a requirement to buy at least one upgrade to win your very first race. That’s essentially the issue. You should be able to, at the very least, have a chance at the very first race with a ♥♥♥♥ van lol but there is zero chance

Actually now that I think about it, that might be where I’m going wrong. I went into this thinking “real racing” not drag racing. Essentially you can pump a bunch of ♥♥♥♥ into your car and as long as you push a button on time you can keep up or beat your opponent. But that’s pretty much the car racing for you. Not really skill oriented. It’s not actual racing. Thanks for the input guys. Got it now.
