    This will take you approximately 35 a 40 minutes. You can crash one or two times as long as you take as many extra seconds as you can. You can grab extra seconds by passing by cars really close. The closer you pass by the more seconds you gain. This varies from 1 to 3 seconds. So chase every car you see and grab those extra seconds.

    Tip: do use the brake (B) during the in between stage sections when overtaking the car in front of you seems to be difficult. You don’t want to crash.

    Nb: I completed it with the Penetrator 8086: the car you will win by beating the final race aka boss. With a lesser car this is maybe doable without crashes.

    FlopsyTheRabbitJust to add to this, you really need to pass as many cars as possible to score extra time, and the detection is really wonky. You can still get the bonus time even if you hit them as long as it isn't from behind, so a good technique is to come in from the side as you pass. Hitting them like this barely slows you down but be a bit more cautious of the lorries.

    You need to build up a time surplus in the earlier stages, the later stages are longer and will start to eat your time. Around stage 8/9/10 you'll start to see your time decreasing rather than increasing at the start of a stage. If you can peak at around 270 seconds you should have enough to get through the 15 stages.

    Johnny SinisterThis mode is so inconsistent. My first attempt, I didn't crash a single time and ran out of time about 2 seconds before finishing the 15th segment.

    Next attempt, I used the same car and pretty much same strategy to pass cars. I crashed 5 times and had over 4 minutes in the bank when unlocking the achievement.

    I am guessing the game is easier or harder based on the paths? Or luck determines the amount of cars to pass? A bit frustrated, honestly.

    Jagd Gray WolfTook me 35 minutes with 280 seconds left by the time I hit the 15th checkpoint. I also crashed over 8-12+ times on the turns but as long as you're able to bump into the cars and get constant 3-2 + times you should be fine. It was not too bad. Got it on my second try with the champions car. Thanks OP!
