It finally happened, the elusive sub 22 for Exotica Mode NG. A week ago, I thought NG's cap was around 23:00 flat. I hadn't seriously put time into the game until just recently, when a group of friends who are top runners from various RARE games began to run Cruis'n Exotica on the side. This spurred a lot of healthy competition, and the WR began to drop, fast, every day. Once Inthedarkness5 hit 22:15, things began to get a bit harder, and crashes were much more unforgiving. Bit by bit, we lowered the time down, until today sub 22 finally happened. Just as a side note, the RNG mentioned at the intro is based on the starting positions of the cars. There is a 2/7 chance that the little red or blue car will start infront of you the the beginning of the race, and if one of them does, you can get a fast start saving 1s. In order to get a sub 22, you need ATLEAST 3 of these. Also, a single crash should kill the run (besides the crash in vegas which saves time over not taking the shortcut at all). All in all, this was a tough grind and I'm so happy I killed the sub 22 by over a second. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4u5gMwndK8
