I did the original race, and now I'm up to Head First 11. The description showed only 7 races, but not it's the original and 10 more. How many races are there in "No Escape"?

I tried to retire, but it lost all the stats. How can I end this event without losing all my stats?

This is getting rediculous, head start 20, and now I'm well over a lap of the leader (2:10) as of now. May continue to see what happens if I finish before they start.

If you can do this race faster than AI race will be endless. Just miss one mission target and race will be ended.

Thanks I finally figured that out, just skipped on the drift points. The stats really get messed up once you get over a 1 lap head start, it quickly jumps to 2 laps, then over 5 minutes, then 103 minutes.

I just restarted and only did 5 races.

However, now my career percentage shows 100%, but I still had over 30 races to go.

Yes, see it like becoming World Champion in the middle of the world series like Michael Schumacher did 2004
We set an amount of points as 100% and if you do better like in no escape you can earn 30% in one mission, but to tell the truth, you can't have done it without shorten the track and so on, can't you?

No shorcuts used. I've made videos of these, links are below. In the first qualifying race, I run about 1:15, so about 45 second head start. In the head start races, I run the first two laps about 1:10, getting drift points and having to slow up on the two drops near the end of the lap. On the last lap, I run about 1:05, so my lead should increase about 5 seconds, but instead it increases by 18 seconds (0:45 to 1:03) so there's some sort of stats bug or a bonus on your time. Even without the bug, my lead would increase by about 5 seconds every time.

Regarding the 100%, I run every race in each vertical list, getting all wins , successes, or gold medals.

I have version 1.33, and have the AI set to balanced. Manual shift and all the assists are off.

The AI on the dirt tracks are the easiest, on the race tracks they're difficult, and on the road courses almost impossible to win against. Takes me 1/2 hour to an hour to memorize a road course, and even then the AI are almost impossible. My strategy is to stay behind the pack for all but the last lap, minimizing my damage while they seem to bang each other up, then I go for it on the last lap, sometimes having to spin out the lead car.

really impressive

That's what me and others told long time before. The AI have to be stronger in that mission so you losing every race a bit time. Otherwise that mission is a fantastic Speedbuck paradise for good drivers

I think not everyone can do the mission in this way. If we improve the AI here, other will have insolvable problems.

I'm guessing that the AI strength is the same, regardless of the event. If so, then other events on the dirt tracks would be impossible for some to win if the AI strength on dirt tracks was increased. Based on this, I'd leave the AI strength as it is and cap the lead at 4 minutes to prevent a long delay after the event, then stopping after 10 races with something like "congatulations, you've won 10 in a row".

If it's not a lot of players, you could just leave it the way it is and add a item in support explaining to fail on one of the options (I choose drift points) to end the races.

Is there penalty factor applied to your total time? My lap time on the qualify was 1:15.02, but the number to the left shows 1:16.36. If so, what is the penalty based on: damage, discipline, ....?

My time for this event is about 3:25, since the Ai's best lap is 1:10, add one second for the first lap and assume AI's time is 3:31. I should gain about 8 seconds, but instead gain about 18 seconds the first time, and maybe a bit more the second time. If there's a damage penalty to total time, then the AI's damage factor is higher because they take the drops at full speed on all laps versus I only do this for one lap in order to stay just below 23% (usually around 21%).

The real bug occurs if you lap the AI, then the lead jumps up to huge amounts, 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 103 minutes (You'd have to wait 1 hour and 40 minutes for the AI to start and the race won't end until they start). To prevent this, I wait at the finish line for the first AI to go by before fiinishing to avoid lapping the AI to limit the lead. I restarted and only did 5 races, not lapping the AI and not getting any drift points on the 5th head start race to end this.
