tdu Favorite/least favorite race?

[Aenigma]

Hey, I'm not sure if it's the right forum, if not I'm sorry.

I'm curious about your favorite/least favorite race/mission in TDU and why.

Personally, I really like the island tour, the big challenge and beat the clock. All of these races are long, sort of challenging and let you see a lot of the island - also, all of them can be done in class B cars which I actually prefer because they are (sometimes) just as fast as the A class and easier to control - Jaguar XJ220 for example.

The races I really dislike are the car deliveries with the Trans AM and the Cobra's concept, cause they takes FOREVER and you don't end up with an even number (I got slight OCD). Also, I really hate the branchu loop as well as fatal at-track-tion because of its extremely narrow timeframe and difficult turns. My nemesis in TDU is the pass of good hope though, as it's lalalalalalalala hard - tight corners without much vision after the apex, narrow timeframe and, worst of all, lots of traffic.

 

Enough of my rant and praise, what about you?

This section is the right one for your topic! Please mine the language though.

 

Tantalus is one that is pretty hard to beat for both best and worst I think. :lol:

 

The Island Tour as you say is cool because of what it allows you to see of the environments and the roads that you may not have seen before or hardly venture into. The challenge that takes place on Keleoke (sp?) Pass I think it's called is pretty awesome with its high-speed run to the twisty section and then another high-speed final part to the finish.

 

I would have to look at the game again in order to pick less well-known examples and find those that I really enjoyed or hated with a passion, but those ones I have mentioned would be the easier choices, and the ones I fondly remember for different reasons.

Yep turn of island is very good, but the bots are not the bests in the races, it need to have the bests cars to do a best lap (like LaFerrari, 918, or Bugatti Supersport) but they are very rarely.

 

So I did a G category race near the crater and the bots were so fabulous: Ferrari 288, Bmw M1, Ferrari testarossa spider, ford rs200 etc etc it was really funny with original cars

 

PS: Il love to do it with B0 class too, the world record with no tuning in PC-Xbox 360 was 45'00min, with joypad and assists

 

edit : 45'28 with the CLK DTM (B0, max 310-316km/h), probably can really do better with the F50 max 337-340), I made it 6times with 3 cars, there is many traps in this (fabulous) race

update : 45'06 with the CLK DTM original (6secs to world record :cool: )
