Casino Cruise: Gold

this race is complete aids

The hairpin turn they make you take toward the end of the race around the giant black metal goblin fountain is incredibly tight. You WILL skid out and go flying if you try and boost/drift that turn and blow your chance at Gold. (Probably Silver to.)

My best solution I found was using Pozzik Standard Engine, 22h Slicks Tires and Handcrank Turbo while boosting from the get go. You will need to cut every possible corner while slamming on the boost the second it comes off CD.

As soon as you go up the ramp towards the fountain you will need to start slowing and and then once the hairpin turn is complete you will need to immediately slam on the boost again and pray to RNG-esus that you don't crash on whatever random outcropping your are flying past.

You will just barely make it then by the skin of your teeth. I got 29.899 on the time. Good luck!

If you're like me and prefer to use your auto-run hotkey to go forward during races to focus primarily on turning and drifting, this method can get you to gold on every race except the Casino Cruise. You need to be able to slow down before the tight bend, which requires you to hold back on forward movements going into the turn, so be sure to move forward manually during this race. It may seem obvious to most, but I hope it helps someone out there. Good luck!
