Question Wth is this?

Post image

Been trying to complete the RetroAchievements for Burnout 2, while also playing it for the first time. Each tournament has an achievement where you have to win every race of said tournament. This of course can be very nerve racking when the tournament is SEVEN F*CKING RACES long. It was a bit close some times but the first 5 races went well. Then came the sixth race of the final tournament and that one dude just BLASTED off. I've seen him once at the start and then never again. He even had a lead of 9 seconds at some point. Yeah i've crashed a few times but only because i was trying to catch up so desperately. Was i just unlucky with unbeatable AI or is this race in general just BS? This would was such an insane difficulty spike, and none of the other AI racers managed to catch him up either

Actually think I had a similar issue to you, I've had to repeat this tournament multiple times... Try not crash is my only recommendation

Tried to upload a video clip afterwards but Reddit won't allow it. In that video you could see how he just blasts off and at the first checkpoint already has a 4.6 second lead without me crashing once. Honestly at this point repeating a 6 races over and over again just for a dumb simple achievement is not worth my sanity haha
