For anyone struggling with this race, downgrade engine, ecu, turbo and nos to 2 and it will be totally beatable on hard difficulty. With all lvl3 upgrades and uniques, the bots go mad and warp through hyperspace so you can't catch them on straights using full nos.

"Repeat this track 7 times in a row with surgical precision or start over": The Race

The opponents will always catch up no matter what; even if you play at 'Easy', the difference will be small. Reduce your top speed, but keep your acceleration as high as possible by playing with the performance upgrades. In this way, the opponents won't catch up that easily anymore and it will make the race easier for you to win.

This race and race #95 are the fricking toughest races in the game....

I still have PTSD from this race on hard mode. Never forgot the name 'Enduro Street Circuit' to this day.

It was the toughest race in my underground career

i managed to get lap times down to 44-45 seconds on my miata; miata has by far the best handling in this game but yeah, essentially - you can drive a perfect 7 laps and still end up like 3rd, it's more about how many mistakes they make than your driving skill

I know the racebreaker feature wasn't a thing yet, but looking back at this race, THIS FUCKING RACE, I think the A.I. secretly had it while the player didn't. It would explain the massive rubber banding.

I will alweays remember this race, when 10 years ago, i played it on my ps2, all 7 laps 1st, and then the last corner before finish, screwed me. :D

I remember "Kurt's Killer Ride" took me literally months until I passed it. I don't know if maybe even a year. This one took me several weeks, but definitely not as much as "Kurt Killer Ride". Those were the hardest races in the game, no doubt.

This is indeed one of the hardest races in gaming ever, but one thing that people don't know is that it is much easier to win it using manual transmission rather than auto. Somehow it appears that bots start to make some racing mistakes when gears are switched by yourself. Another thing to consider here is that you should get the 1st place in about 20 seconds from the start and then don't let anyone get ahead of you, since in this case your chances to win will be close to 0, nitro gives a small hope.

"Who's Got Endurance?" is another frustrating race.. But not nearly as much as this one. This is likely the most difficult race ever in any NFS game.

13 years since i last played this race and still can't win

I couldn't beat "Kurt's Killer Ride" (Event 95) without downgrading my cars performance so I could finally pass it on hard. At this event I really really wanted to try and beat it without doing that but oh my fucking god that goddamn purple RX-7 tried to wreck me so many times. The AI in both these events were so rigged. They take corners at VERY high speed without braking, sometimes even hitting things but just bouncing off them without losing speed. Not to mention that because there so fast that once they get ahead, that's it, game over. Good luck catching them because if there passed you it ain't gonna happen. The only way I beat it was to lead right from the start of the race and stay ahead the entire time and block them so they dont pass and holy shit thats nerve wracking. I came SO close to losing it multiple times and bc its 7 damn laps there plently time for failure. The last lap the RX-7 was literally grazing my rear bumper and at every tap I nearly spun, constantly looking back to see what evasive action it would take next to try and zip around me. Finally during the beginning of the last lap it came right up beside me so I sent it sailing into a tunnel column. Bitch finished last >:D

When i played NFSU first time i almost uninstalled this game in rage mode after this fuckin race! Then i ve just placed 2lvl upgrades instead of 3rd and beat them up easily. On the second walkthrought I took Mazda MX-5 and won after first try.

god , i hated this race

Only now after many years of playing nfs i've been able to finish this race on 1st place on hard with all full upgrades, it was the race of my life to be honest PS: I used my lovely rx7

This race is on par with Kurts Killer Ride. They all get this random speed boost like Mario Kart 64, even on the easiest difficulty

Nice driving :) Its good to see a racing video showcasing skill.

Forget Kurt's Killer Ride. THIS was the hardest race in the game.

i found kurt's killer ride (#95 if i remember correctly) much more challenging because of the super heavy traffic

matt's such a lucky fucko 1:56 fucking remember how he passes this turn with 300+ kmh

I failed this race 10 times on hard with my Eclipse before I gave up. Then I switched to the RX-7 and barely won at first try.

This race was a living nightmare

A Honda Civic, I will trade it later in the game for a Nissan Skyline, though.

Win the 79th race "Enjoy The City Skyline".

Everyone keeps saying Kurt's Killer Ride is hard. Really it's not, that race is easy af on hard. Enduro Street Circuit is hard tho. The first two time's I played this game it wasn't as hard my third time playing now. That race is actually crazy hard and I hate it now

Strangely enough I had no major problem with race 95 at max upgrade and hard difficulty, thought I did feel the difficulty spike compare to other races. But race 103....eight letters: The first letter is "F", the second letter is "U", the third letter is "C", the fourth letter is "K", fifth letter is "M", the sixth letter is "A", the seven and final letter are both "T".

That fucking watermelon car

Yay Norris is back! :))

come from 2021 ✌️ i very love this racing games from nfs franchise ♥️

Patience and eagle eye concentration are the key to win this race believe me i also had alot of trouble in this race surprisingly I beat it with the Peugeot 206 by the way you drive like a total legend

Managed to win it on hard with stage 2 in most of the speed upgrades and the rx-7. Also i pushed Matt to that "shortcut" wall in the corner of the airport on lap 3. Absolutely the hardest race. Kurt's Killer Ride took me like 5 tries compared to this that took me like 16 tries

Чувак это нечто

FINALY FINALLLLLLY AFTER 15 YEARS I WON THIS RACE ON HARD YESTERDAY

I was almost sweating just watching you run this. Those a**holes always manage somehow to catch up to you and once they leave you behind, you stay there. I think it wouldn't be a problem in 3-4 lap race. I was ready to give up on this. Apparently you have to master handbrake even though you are required to use it only during drift. The game is very subtle about SHARP 90 degree turns, they are rare, but I had zero clue about how to make them. I was taught by the game that you push handbrake to make 180 and lose. Anyways I'm glad you managed to beat the race in your cool civic. =)

Peugeot is the car for this race lvl 2 on engine, ecu, turbo, nos and the rest could be level 3

I played this race 4 hours and straight still can't beat

I remember this race haha. Damn catchup...

Everybody This race was the hardest in NFS Underground . Earl from NFSMW "Are you challenging me?🤣🤣🤣🤣

this race is hell, it took me many times to easily pass the hardest race of the NFS Saga in my opinion, I with a skyline was suffocating in this race.

Te hardest should be called this race.

Tooks me 100 times to finish this race..

I win this race with miata in first try, the handling of miata is everything

Agreed totally; that was the first thought that came to my mind too the first time I played this race- that its the worst track possible... And then I had to play it about 100 times more before I could win it.

It is not just have driving skill to win this race, it also need blocking skill (block opponent's line or just smash them). That's the only way you can win this race. And lucky obviously

I never really got this far in this game. I'm playing it now and will see if I can beat this race.

This game and the 2005 MW were the only two NFS games where I could actually feel I'm going fast af. And it felt good. It felt so good. Good old arcade. Fck simulations.

took me like 6 attempts to finally beat this race, i switched my cars all the time due to this race

Should I have stability control on or off and use the stick or d pad for Steering

Ok so to beat this race your firstly gonna wanna downgrade your current car to number 2 engine, number 2 E.C.U, number 2 turbo and number 2 nitrous then your gonna wanna switch to a Mazda Mx-5 (even if you are currently using a skyline or rx-7 trust me this is the easiest way as the Mx-5 has the best handling in the game) then go into the race and get in frost ASAP then try your hardest to stay in 1st throughout as the AI is quite hard to catch the 350z and the s2000 will be your main competition and use your nitrous when you make a mistake I completed this race in 6 minutes 42 seconds so you want to aim for around 6 minutes 40 seconds and that’s it hope this helped 👍🏾

in this race, patience & concentration is indeed. :X men.! it costs me a several restarts x_x but when I try manual transmission, I've won at last :D I believe it's more reliable & fun compare to auto transmission. I used Nissan Skyline. B)

FC Kahuna Glitterball That song is Copyright Infringement and then Sound are lower

i was raging as well until i found out their weakness, they race like devils, right ? just get closer to them if you could and tap or bump or scratch their car, they will not be possessed for like 10 seconds i think and if they still catching up just block them (if ur infront of them), or make them touch ur car

I tried this race on medium. I came second with a total time of 5:57.44. How the hell did I come second! ATG won with 6 min!

If you choose easy or hard, it doesn't matter one small mistake can ruin whole race...the bots are able to catch you in full speed in a quarter of circuit... If I won in the past it was always because I played dirty against them.

o melhor carro para isto tudo sempre foi o r x 7. com ele eu zerei o jogo todo ,mas o civic também é pik . ótima corrida mas estra jogando o automatico .

Those 2 cars work better than the skyline? (playing on PS2)

It really worked (even on the PS2), when I temporarily changing the Integra, after this race I took again the Skyline, the races after this is much become easier than this fucking race.

honda and acura is cool in some races

I crutched it using rx7 and its op handling. If s2000 gets in first place it's quite literally impossible to beat lolol

There's a lot of tricks on this race to win, but i will use all the upgrades uniques for handling and see what happend, maybe that's the trick

So that's the problem with my Skyline when I do this race, this race I always have the most trouble, that race is really annoying.

Those days were better from now Alot

how do you get around courners so fast man, plz reply, this race is so hard

im stuck on race 95 kurts killer ride (hey that rymes, lol) but i got nissan skyline full upgrade all extreme upgrades and i still cant handle six laps :(

There's one time that i used a peugeot 206 in this race in hard, i usually get 42 or 41 per lap but..... The 3 cpu's where behind me all the race, they didn't crash in all the 7 laps, usually the third and the fourth place gets lost, but in this race they were all behind me, and i won.

Just beat this on hard with full mods. Only took 2 hours straight!

@AddictionToGaming hey adam bro, Hard mode? Remember anything?

i don't remember the bots giving this much leeway

This game has an obsession with making me suffer on this horrible terminal track. Even on "easy" difficulty, the a.i. is fucking unbeatable. They will always magically catch up as soon as I brake for a corner (as one should) and as soon as they pass you, there is no catching up with them unless you're lucky and they have an accident. I almost won the race but in the final corner of the final lap, the RX-7 of all cars zoomed past me OF COURSE

I didn't know there were struggles in this race. Luck, I think

It's a tiring race but I barely managed to win it on my MX-5 Miata.

1:11 *NATE ADAMS: Hahah! this is freaking easy!*

1:39 *NATE ADAMS: OH SHIT!* *WU: WHAT! DID NATE LIKE A CRAZY PERSON WITH HIS CAR!* *Wu insults nate* *MATT: DON'T RUN, NATE!!!*

got it first try on hard full upgrades. Just let Matt cheat for the first 6 laps. on the 7th he returns to a normal level of cheating where you can pass him. Maybe the problem for people is that they restart once matt gets incredibly far ahead?

This race here was one of the most annoying races I did in this game. The rubberbanding is crazy I had to constantly ram the AI and hog the inside line just to win

I still can't beat this fucking race! I'm using the Nissan 200sx which has pretty good acceleration but the computer catch me up taking the corners impossible fast

This race is fcking hard for me :( i have a Nissan Skyline with almost max acceleration and top speed but still they catch up

i recommend the acura integra for this race

The mitsubishi lancer its a good option?

That race must have been the last

Как же пройти эту гонку без аварий

7 laps on the worst map (in my opinion) am im using a skyline with all level 3 and some custom performance parts.

Very Easy Way=Simply Use Peugeot 206 with downgrade lv2 parts in engine, ecu, turbo and nos.

This and 95...

This fucking tunnel. How many times did I hit the wall at the entry?

gamepad or keyboard?

How the guy can beat me when I ahead 8 or 6 seconds ? Happened lap 7, Fuck the catch up engine function of nfs !

just beat it 5th try, 130% gamespeed, RX7 with no downgrades. get on my level

I could beat this race first round with S2000 with all unique TJ speed upgrade

I used to hate this race, took me hundred of tries but then my dumbass just needs to stop hitting the walls to go around corners and just use the handbreak and breaks Like a normal racer.. Lol

PIECE OF CAKE

I never beat this race. Never finished the game because of it. Nfsu2 came out before I ever won lmao

Hardest circuit race. It took me 50 tries to beat it and a skyline. Don't try it with a s2000

I can’t win this for shit I’ve used the Honda Civic the rx7 and the skyline fully maxed out

This game made me frustrated

Beating it on hard is easy, I wanna see you doing it on easy

am i missing something?....wheres the traffic..i SWEAR this race had traffic when i did it...sorry..completely failed for three weeks..it

can someone tell me how to beat this lol
