Event: Coastline Pure, Abruzzo: Bridges. Nearly Impossible? Cheating AI?

[Optyk]

Just recently got this game and I have been doing ok. I am now on the event mentioned.

I am finding it nearly impossible to make it past 4th place on a good run.

What am i doing wrong? No matter how well I take the corners and how badly the AI slams into them, they seem to breeze past me.

Is the AI cheating? I didn't think the game had cheating AI but if it does its enough to put me off it.

Did a few runs on it to check, the AI dosen't give much slack on it but it is possible.
Tested with full-upgraded shps, with Sulha being the fastest one @2:15.568 (Mileage may vary, I'm not a pro by any means)

The track is quite open so go for straight-line speed, there's a few twists so remember to keep an eye on the pitch as the grinding the ground will cost a lot.
With the right angle the first-corner can be taken flat-out even on Sulha, if you miss the barrier, in some cases, pitching-up can get you back on track.

Redout has a huge emphasis on boost. They are probably using it better. AI dont cheat once you get good enough overlappong them all is quite easy. Sulha would be the beat choice on that track.

This. I constantly thought the AI had to be cheating when I started. My only advice is learn your ships and learn the tracks. I wasn’t even able to get out of last place in Class I in the beginning, only now I’m managing to win at Class II and overlapping in I.

The game is really hard, the first thing I did to improve was admitting to myself that I sucked and had to practice :p

I've had someone else that struggled with this event before. I can assure you the AI does not cheat - hopefully this helps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RvLlNRwHXE

Sulha is usually the best ship choice for pure, but I got asked to do it in a Buran. Any ship can do this though (Asera probably being the toughest).
