    Survival Races...

    ... I've done 'em all but 2 which are impossible to do in a timely manner:

    hard survival, yes, let alone the wind shear (wingsuit) makes it hard to steer through all the rings let alone steering/moving the lame/slow mini hover chair?

    Anyone done these two races?

    You may find the wing suit works better if you do a down then up as soon as you start (otherwise may be unresponsive when you need in anger) and if still have issues try adjusting mouse acceleration.
    The buzzer will accelerate if you drop altitude as soon as possible after passing through the first hoop and just minimise control use as much as possible. to keep airspeed up.
    You could try getting more practice in with both and try road and water skimming with the buzzer; park up in the temple basement with it and fly through and onto the towers until you get more intuitive at flying it. Trying those challenges with little time flying either wing suit of buzzer might be the issue.
    As for Shangri La La and Yuma missions and the Willis wing suit return maybe those are something else for you to "enjoy' as they are much harder for me to do than many of the race challenges.
    The game gets easier and easier every play through.
    And "age is just a (big) number" so don't despair but persist........

    yes, I could do all this but my time is running out half way - no chance to make it with my gpu! funny all other races were time tight too but manageable

    There is little to study - your video does no show any wind shear - sidewinds blowing you slightly off and which can't be course adjusted - you hit the rock (last flying ring). Few times I am lucky to fly straight like you and meet the red soldiers at the lake but time is off anyway hence mission impossible to finish.

    Further your gpu is noticeably faster than mine making the video's motion/speed a little unreal - I time out about after switching vehicles




    OKay, finished today the last 2 races after about 10 failed attempts
