This race is making me crazy. I am wondering if something is amiss. I get the EO to race with, but no options for nitrous or anything else. I must need strategy or something. Any help or insight would be appreciated. I have almost every race done except the very last ones and all the RRGP, UFRA and all the other manufacturers trials. I even have the Namco at 100 percent. but that lonely Himmel 0 is irking me. I can't even get Himmel points with that weird looking Himmel I got. GRRRRR. help! Kenny

i had some problems with this for a while. i despised island circle for a long time. left ths trail for a while (no rhyme intented), did loads of other races, decided to come back to it. suddenly, since i had got a lot more experience with drifting and nitrous in the game i sailed through to first place on the first lap. if it's the track that's causing you problems, try learning the course using the arcade himmel EO category 2 on global time attack. if it's the car, just do the same thing! the best trick for this race is to just practice, practice, practice. oh, and slipstreaming a lot helps too!
