djw180 7,005 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) I have decided to get my rank in R* Transform races as high as possible - PS5 update. I'll keep this updated with progress. I'd like top 20 in every transform race, non-contact, default number of laps. I will be taking full advantage of any HSW upgraded vehicles available, including resorting to the Weaponised Ignus on a couple where the Devest Eight was never going to get a top 20 time for me. Top 20 in all races non-contact, default number of lap achieved. Including my best times from the PS4 for comparison. Split Personality has no HSW modded vehicles in it. Splash Landing does, you choose a custom off-road, but I do fine in the Draguar without bothering to try an HSW-modded Monstrociti.

djw180 7,005 Posted April 20, 2022 Author Share Posted April 20, 2022 (edited) Making progress, now that I have all custom vehicles (that have performance modes) ever used in a Transform race. And now having to make a few visits to Cayo Perico to re-coup the millions spent. Also found there is new straight-line fastest motorbike, the Reaver. On proper tracks maybe not that fast, but on long straights where you can easily lean back all the time it is faster than the Bati. Not sure how many of these it works out best for, definitely Vinewood Thrills and Gauntlet II. I don't understand why my top ranked one is Maverick. Yes it has a Tyrus in it, which I of course now have a custom version of, but it doesn't make up that much of the race.

I just look at them in-game before the race, or just after (when you can press R1 to see hi-scores). They do, usually, update immediately, but then a faster time does not actually get put on the real high scores for a few days. The Inferno race is no longer there (thank God!) so no custom Vigalante required.

djw180 7,005 Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 Dockades of Fun ✅ Gauntlet II ✅ So Just Neon Mountain to go now. Gauntlet II has took by far the longest so far. There's multiple points in it where being very slightly wrong costs a second or more. Watching videos of the really fast times I think there is something random about the start of this as there is someone who is about 1s up on the best I can do at the first CP, and all you do is fly in a dead straight line from the start! Also I am now convinced that the customisations you can make to planes do nothing for the speed as I tried loads of combinations of the engine up grade and handling to try and get that 1s faster at CP1, and nothing made any difference. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/24132-djs-transformation/#findComment-239578 Share on other sites More sharing options...

djw180 7,005 Posted May 29, 2022 Author Share Posted May 29, 2022 Lack of updates probably already tells you I am struggling with the last race, Neon Mountain. I have go to about rank 240, but to get a top time you have to be able to do that leaning-all-the-way-back-flying-a-bike-upside-down thing. I can not get the hang of that. But I keep trying, just not very often. Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/24132-djs-transformation/#findComment-239955 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What with fewer players now and HSW upgrades, I think I need to aim higher than top 200, maybe top 50?
