Still seeking my first win, have gotten second a couple of times. Hasn’t lessened my enjoyment though, easily been my most played game since it came out.
That's great, keep on getting those 2nd places because at some point that S+ driver will crash out in the last corner driving into a red bumper. That driver might be me... I've gotten this way a few freak wins, but I also threw away many wins...
A good way to get your first win is team battle. S+ drivers won't participate in those, as they want that S2 or S3 or higher ranking and team battle gives you no rivals. It's also good way to chill out.
If you really want your first win, then practice Silence. A lot of people choke on Silence and the front runners are usually chill because the championship is decided by that point. Practice getting clean laps on Silence, meaning always hitting that jump (and avoiding the mines), and not bouncing into the barrier (touching the barrier in corners is ok). Usually 3 practice runs on Silence is enough for the Grand Prix.
Finally got it! Switched things up and started using Goose, which has really clicked with my play style.
Big congrats! Your first win is also worth more because of the brutal competition nowadays!
Which track?
And next stop: Mini Prix!
The biggest of blues.
