It's just annoying, not impossible; even nearly, I found that the last three blacklist races with all their race win requirements were cakewaks...first time around took only three times to pass the final pursuit too. Hardest races were somewhere in the middle.
Its not just because its tough..its because its unrealistic and not fair

drags with traffic has its good and bad points a good point is that if you make a vid you can see some spectacular crashes on the other hand drags with traffic can get very frustrating IMO

AI cars are built like brickwalls there very difficult to spin out but they can spin u out pretty easily, and also howcome theres always one AI car that slams its brakes on wen ur just about to go thru a speedtrap :evil:

Lol, Dr@g0n R@g3, I totally know what you mean, they'll put the wrong pedal to the metal... :lol:

Edit: And that's not to mention when the AI cars are driving like civilian cars and following the lines, so when u try to take a shortcut they'll be in your way and bring you along with them the long way....

okay another catchup problem. or maybe just a game bug... you hang back from the AI drivers to on the speed trap runs to stop them from spinning you just before the speed trap, you blast past them on NOS and you record the SLOWEST time through the trap? WTF?!

Sorry for the four year old bump but I have to ask. :lol:

Does that catch-up-fix still work that is on page 2? Was thinking about re-installing MW today.

Thank you.

Since the game hasn't been patched or otherwise changed since that, one would assume...yes.

This needed some getting used to. In Underground driving behind an AI car was beneficial because it gave nitrous. However, occasionally a competitor will brake for no reason, and let the player pass. :twisted:

I installed this mod (change four 1s to 0s), but can't tell for certain that there is no more catch up, because it's not so predictable in MW. How do I verify that the mod has an effect?

Hey Arushan, did you ever release that Mod loader thing you mentioned here?
I know that it's literally a decade old, but the game still has no real fix except for yours.
