[b][i][color=\"gray\"][font=\"tahoma\"]Anyone who is a fan of motorsport, or drag racing, or is competitive might enjoy this game.
I've been playing this game on and off for the past 2 years, and have earnt myself quite a little account, am saving for a Mopar Drag Car in it, i have $200'000 and i've unlocked the car by finding the hidden nitto link on mopar.com, but i need $250'000 in total to buy it, so i'm $50'000 off.
The game is free, and downloadable from [url=\"http://www.nitto1320.com\"]http://www.nitto1320.com[/url] and is sponsored ofcourse by Nitto tyres. Any questions on how to play or anything else can most likely be sorted by the FAQ, make sure you UNZIP the .exe before running it, otherwise it will not connect with the server correctly and will tell you that you can't register.
My 2 users on the game are mobil1_oils and tommyvercetti4910, tommyvercetti4910 is my primary account, if you wish to race, please race that account, all races to mobil1_oils will be declined. [/b][/i][/color][/font]

The game is based around "Bracket Racing". What that is, is you work out how fast you run on average, and you set that as your bracket, then whoever races the closest to their bracket with the lowest reaction time (anything above 0.500 rt is a foul) wins that race. For example, my bracket in the Acura is set to 8.700, if i run 8.700 with 0.500 rt, that means i've run the very best that is possible. Say if i were to race another car with the bracket 10.000, if i run a 8.715 with 0.500 rt, and he runs a 10.010 with 0.500 rt, he wins that race, if he runs that with a 0.505 rt, we both draw, and if he runs the same with a 0.510 rt, he loses that race...
Sorry but thats the best i can explain it lol.
Another technique i always use is "Deep Staging". Staging your car as far back from the line as it will allow, then gunning it just before the green light comes on (experiment at what light to see how fast you can get). What this does is when you cross the line, the car is already moving at a reasonable speed, which means at the end of the run, you're going to run a better time, an extra .10 on the other car at the start will continue to create a bigger gap as the straight goes along. In my acura i can usually gun it as soon as the last yellow comes on and ill cross the green at close to 0.500. In my stock civic, usually about the 2nd last light, and in the hotted civic, i think somewhere between the two, it's been a while since i've raced the civics. [/b][/i][/color][/font]
