Comments: I've come close, but does anyone have any tips to improve this time further? I'd love to break the 1 minute barrier.

If you look at the format of the post, you can see that I received it as a times form. I wrote to Colin and told him that I'd post his question about DR, and I advised him to submit ALL of his times and join us!

Alright a new member. That's great

Anyway about the Death Race. Well alot is based on luck in this game. Since the cars are controlled by the computer. They are never in the same place twice. Making it difficult to come up with a strat for this.

However. Putting the view above your head so you can see better might help.

I'd recommend using a boost right at the beginning of the race and doing that between every car you kill. Then try to side attack if at all possible when cars are lined up two or three abreast.

Then once you're done dive off the track if you have the opportunity, as it's about a second or so faster than staying on the track (because the clock stops once you can't recover faster than it normally would after it detects the last death).

I think I might still have a tape of my 38.260 Death Race run lying around using that strategy...
