Lol, I learned about the shortcuts. (ramps though the billboards)
I didnt hit the ramps though, just went under the billboards to the shortcut to maintain speed. Going though them slows you down to about 160. Also on the third race (heads up with one other car) I found it was faster to only take the 2nd shortcut and not the first. You dont cover much ground with the first one and you can gain more speed if you stay on the pavement. Used the x5 for all the races except the first (so short so the z4 was a second quicker for me)

Oh, and dont use the handbrake (space bar) at all. Balls to the wall the whole way though! the x5 is stable enough to handle the turns, the z4 would spin out sometimes in a slow-motion shot and screw me up.

Nice... I'll try that next time. When doing the highway fast one (the one with all the obstacles) do use the Z4....it's top speed is faster than the X5's and you'll be at it for awhile...

I did it with both, but it was a couple days ago. The times were very close between the x5 and the z4 but I forget which was quicker. I messed around on that course for awhile though, and even poped over the median to drive on the wrong side (was not faster and cant go for long)
