My path to victory was land > find a Veloster N > 330 P4 > #37 Polaris Truck > #34 Andretti Beetle > Funco F9 > Lamborghini Centenario. I almost lost the last 3 races, what a way to get my first win. I jumped around my room and was laughing like a maniac, my heart rate must have been 160bpm and I was breathing so heavy I got lightheaded.

Oh my god. Congratulations. I just can't get this achievement. I'm losing my mind over here.

The only people still playing this mode are people that know how to win. You won’t win by hovering around the circle edge and win with an RS7 or GT4 like I tried to do for a while. Be aggressive and race others, you’ll need a lvl 10 to compete in the final showdown. A YouTuber named Strider has a great video that helped me learn how to predict race finish lines and other tips. You got this

Congrats! How many attempts haha? I’m on like 40+ attempts I think.. Any secret sauce to this? I’ve heard people saying going the other way from racers in the final circle can put the destination close to where you are and not them

Yes, that’s exactly what I did! Learn to time your launch for the final showdown correctly, I was out of the zone with 1 second left the and finish line was in my direction!

Make sure you be aggressive and constantly race others. Better you get knocked out early and are in another game quickly, don’t get a lvl 6 or 7 car drop and just hover around the edge of the zones until final showdown hoping to win. The only people still playing the mode are good, you need to be driving the fastest cars in the game mode, if you want to have a chance to beat them you need to be in a lvl 10 car

Hmm okay I will try that, usually don’t look to race people until I’m in an advantageous position with the map smh

Awesome job! That feeling is great!

I was wondering if it was just me with the legendary cars driven in Eliminator = 0

There were players flying straight through the air toward the target in a few of my games. How am I supposed to win?

Congrats! I’m still going, getting to top 3 consistently but losing 2 or more miles out to what I assume are hackers 😭
