Actually had the highway zone near the street festival once; I was setting up towards the west but we had an other manipulator who pulled the race to the completely opposite direction! I wasn’t able to overtake him but I nevertheless finished 2nd out of 5…😅👍🏻
no, on tuesday I finished second, also with an rs200. I believe that the uncontrolled dissemination of manipulations on TH-cam is harming the game. Many players only wait for the FS to win and do not eliminate other players during the 15 minutes in the arena.
@@ALVSPAULO I will often go for maximum eliminations, unless I'm doing some kind of a challenge or it's a very slow game. I'm not against trying to pull the finish line like what happened in this video; it adds another layer of surprise but the tradeoff is the manipulator will usually have a slower car than most of the other opponents
I also did not expect the FS I just had. What a crazy round!!! Started next to Street Scene outpost as you do next to Lvl 4 Mini drop. I thought oooh, gross but start of game I'll take it. Lucky for me someone else spawned right next to me and beat me to it so I hightailed it out of there in the opposite direction. I was just checking my stats before this round and wondering why I have only ever seen one golden drop in 800+ games....Well I must have been due because there it was, the holy grail. The Hoonigan RS200. Gingerly round the building I go so I don't miss it as another Tsuru comes flying in out of nowhere! I got there just in time. Now the fun begins! 5 elimination later (not up to your standards, I know but sometimes you just can't get a race) and we are on to the FS. 5 players left. There's me in my RS200, I saw a Brocky and a Focus RSRX, not sure what the other 2 were. Started just SW of the pyramids drag strip and the race went north towards Guanajuato. At one point I was running 2nd or 3rd and got huge air and landed in a massive barrel roll...only to come out of it in 1st!!!! Lost too much speed though so didn't last long. OK where are we going? Oh no, the pin is on that hairpin on the SW side where you have to drop over the cliff to land on the road below. Got to make up time, full sending up the hill but hitting too many bumps. Get it back under control, back off and get just the right speed over the hill to clear the cliff. Barrel roll down on to the road and land on my wheels facing the pin. Gun it. All 5 dots on the mini map so close but I think I've got it. Can't see anyone else closer.....2nd...Damn!!!! But what a race. Can't believe all 5 of us where so close at the end. Was a chaotic Final Showdown but definitely got the blood pumping!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Two top drivers shredding it up! Even with the manipulator you still got 1st and 2nd 👍💪🏆 Nickel always gets such a good start! Player Brain damage gave you a good run 😲 Excellent driving GGs
Thank you for the kind words bud; I'm glad you enjoyed it! I should have gotten onto the highway at the FS start and driven lower around the base of the mountain, but sometimes you forget things like that in the heat of the moment. Still, I'm glad we got that 1-2 finish and congrats to NickelColt on that well deserved victory 😎
We were lucky, experienced drivers would have taken the chance even with bad cars. One of them had chosen the straight route over the mountain. He must have had a lot of fun :)
@StriderZYT I also feel like Nickel’s kindness towards you paid off by him getting that car drop, I once gifted a car and never expected someone to do it to me. Then this Audi gives me his car (lvl 6) a few weeks later…
GG both!💪 lovely direction BTW! 😂 Recently had one from the final circle south of the pyramids expecting the FR going somewhere north but lmao what a surprise!! It went to South East part of the map...😂 Never saw that one happening in 2 years of playing. Didn't win btw lol😅
@@StriderZYT Eh short? Not really...lol... I went north ofcourse as usuall and had to adjust my route and came close but short final race? Nah..will upload that round in time. 👍
@dennisbijl23 got it. Sometimes when the FS starts south and ends South, the race distance can be quite short. I think my shortest FS had something similar happen
Have you ever won a Final Showdown where the finish line was in the opposite direction you were going?

Wow, congrats on your great comeback and finishing first and second :D
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀
Great edit with the full games throughout. You did well to make a close 2nd place with the rough route! GG both of you :)
Thank you bud! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀

Yah I can only imagine how that must've gone 😅 Thanks for sharing your POV bud; congrats on the win!
@@StriderZYT Thx, but with 9 eliminations you were the "Eliminator" in this session 😎
@mestorone5766 yes I crossed the finish line 9 times before my opponents, but you got the Final one; it was a great game for both of us 😎
Great video and congratulations to both of you! Always nice to see you both in a video! 👍😎
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😀
Even manipulators can’t stop the Eliminator Duo
(Trio when Hesitated is present…)
It was a great game; thankfully we were able to still finish 1st and 2nd 😀

@@StriderZYT Sometimes game can be very surprising! Keeps it fresh and fruity.. 😹
@@dennisbijl23 yup that's right 👍
Nickel is a beast! GGWP
Thank you! Yes he's a very good player 😎
Chellenge: play 6 races with 8 point
You mean 8 eliminations in 6 different races?
