by far the hardest thing i've done in this game so far. it's only a gold medal, and i only got it by like a tenth of a second. three perfect laps and my fastest one wasn't a perfect one lmao, if i drove perfectly on the last lap i wouldn't have got the gold.
a perfect lap just means not smacking into anything, not necessarily taking the best line or hitting all of the boosts. it took a solid 30+ minutes of grinding this track to get this. i think the platinum is about 2 seconds faster.
i stopped playing the game last time around halfway through the campaign because the AI just started getting ridiculously good. however i noticed that there is a way to turn off the rubber banding now, or it was always there and i just never noticed. with that turned off i'm absolutely smoking them in the earlier tracks and getting better times than ever.
my goal is to get gold on everything i've already played, and then at least silver on everything beyond that.
