FH5, Series 28, the HW Speed Zone

And the answer is…

Someone on the forums recommended a tune by aeqnx (share code 424 935 909) for the 1992 Honda NSX for the HW speed zone. AWD and a lot of power (max. speed about 391kmh). I used it to cheese the speed zone, bumping off a wall or two in the process, but the build had enough speed to complete the job.

Out of curiosity, I rebuilt the NSX to my specs (bodykit, AWD; max. speed 302kmh) to see how my times compared with the target time. To begin with, I was hitting 243kmh (6kmh short of the target) on average in both directions.

I switched to cockpit view (because that’s how I normally play FH4 and 5) and did the speed zone in the direction of the loop, passing the target speed with no real bother.

Was cockpit view the answer all along? It gave me a better view of the walls, a better sense of the line to take, and a better sense of speed, whereas chase cam seems to encourage manic speed, which undermines strategy.
