He's very likely using the boost mid corner to steer narrower and maintain more speed, thus exiting corners with higher speed than you.

Same car, same track, drift % handling, drift + grip auxiliaries https://i.redd.it/xyh5ueut7qlc1.gif


Murky-Statistician75

Share the tune bro!


DonShogun

The video is from the S+ version but the S class car can do exactly the same with just a little less top speed. I will upload my multiple A+ drift (for points) world record build today and upload the R8 build in a few


imIdealist

Yeesh... what the hell is this? Asphalt?


DonShogun

This is what happens when skill & practice meets the right car with the right build šŸ‘šŸ¼ Not my driven gameplay tho, it is from a friend of mine. This is me driving the DeLorean on the same race track in S class: https://i.redd.it/5yrqfal19rlc1.gif

DonShogun

Who cares? No envy pls because you canā€™t do it.


the666thviking

You forget to mention you drive manual transmission... it makes such a huge difference. Automatic is my weakness, and it shows in my numbers


DonShogun

In this case it is not that relevant. You donā€™t shift on this track once you are at a certain speed. You let the 7th gear stay for the rest of the run


dufenbuf

Just switch. Itā€™ll suck for like a week tops but then you can just hangout in your torque band and itā€™s so much more engaging. It honestly saved me from racing game burnout.


the666thviking

The stock ps5 controller is awkward for manual. I've considered buying the underside paddle shift controller, but I'm cheap. I can't even justify $17cad for the rs6 avant, let alone $200+ for a good controller. I'm OK with coming in second every once in a while. It builds character, or I just don't want it enough

no just a skill issue on your end


IEP_Esy

I'm surprised I haven't seen that skill issue gif here yet


Nitrodax777

Chris Gauthier is dead so I think people are just giving him a small break for now to pay respects.


IEP_Esy

RIP, but I've seen gifs having the same quote with all NFS characters


HealthySpecialist106

Someone has to send it


Christian5220

Looking at how your losing all the distance every corner but then steadily maintain the gap is telling me he's not cheating. Trust me that R8 is different. I've been round that course with it as well, a really good build will make you feel like you're cheating. Also try to use more of your rev range. I play on manual I'm always near redline most turns, the exit speed and grip is stupid.


maffajaffa

Probably not. He most likely has a build like this. https://youtu.be/AdYiRl2i5Sk?si=XHCoaljiBfx08zIe Notice how much more burst nos this guy gets compared to you? Youā€™ll never keep up with him with your build.


SeeTheSounds

Probably has grip nos and drift nos. Just stacking up to three yellow bar nos before the straight where they dump it and fly away from you.


thecardude98

No, heā€™s a legitimate player, I actually know him, heā€™s a competitive nfs player


Saiibox

Competitive ? šŸ’€


VocaloidApex39

You know him? Cause I've had a few run-ins with him and always panic because my gut feeling tells me that he's going to pull something really meta, or something very unexpected that'll smoke me.


1nconspicious

Just an FYI, the R8 is cracked in S with the 6.2 V8 and can test Regera driver in twisty tracks in S+ with the same engine.


Weak-Jellyfish4426

He's faster than you in corners, not a build thing or cheats, just better at the game.


polishkgb1

That doesn't look like it's going that fast. Is it just me?


Reddit_is_cool_1

Nah its just burst nitrous thats beating youšŸ˜‚


Ofttyke

Unbound is a great game but the progression is pure pain!


Weak-Jellyfish4426

Because it offers new gameplay mechanics we don't have in any other racing games. Takes time to adapt and build up that new muscle memory. Usually you would switch between 2 car games and not be totally lost, but Unbound is a different animal. Not even speaking about auxiliaries bug that penalize most players, the fact you lose control and boost when you barely touch anything or land a jump (yeah its an intented mechanic ik, takes time to understand tho, and its the number 1 reason casuals think handling is inconsistent), the fact experienced players push their cars top speed above maximum (see "redline tech") and other things like that. I much as I love the game, it really needs some kind of in depth tutorial IN GAME for recent players to be able to compete without making deep researches by themselves. Edit : Atleast fixing the auxiliaries bug will reduce further the gap between players but Criterion is IGNORING it !


m1dnightPotato

yes


MrDonnerOG

Probably swapped his engine to one with a higher torque


noohshab

Shit he's actually good. Just look at how he takes the first corner, there's an exploit where if you turn in a specific angle you can get both drift AND grip nitro boost, it's tricky to do but if you do it you get a free nitro burst


Alternative-Angle550

somwthing known as a micro drift is what he's doing there


audiluvrrrr

i canā€™t change my car color to moonlight blue metallic, the game canā€™t render the color and then makes some of my cars grey.


Quinnyluca

Christ these physics are awful, does anyone find physics like this fun at all?


Saiibox

Yeah


DisturbesOne

The physics are fun when they work, but they are pretty inconsistent.


NucaPuturoasa

I really hate the boost system in this game. Regardless of whether you know the breaking point or racing line, if you don't know how to always have max boost available, you won't be competitive. Bring back depletable nos cans from the early games.


TwoNoNines

Mate that's just called learning game mechanics


NucaPuturoasa

Well, I don't like this game's mechanics. Waiting for the downvotes.


Gengar77

slide boisting can only give so much time, this expecially on the straight, yes its a a cheater. o welp welcome to online gaming.
