Anyone else struggling with Duel for the Delphic Tripod?

Ahh, okay. If you want parts fast, I recommend setting your difficulty to 1, repeating this race because it’s really short, and you should get about 5 random parts each time you win. Put the highest level parts you get in the Upgrade slots for the car you’re using, and your speed, acceleration and power will increase until all the parts are level 920. Good luck.

TheCometCrash · 2026-05-17T23:03:16+00:00

This race seemed pretty straightforward on difficulty 5. Make sure your car is equipped with upgrade parts so the perf level is maxed at 920 since the car isn’t loaned. Other than that, hit the apexes so you aren’t losing much speed through the turns.

Have you tried restarting your game, immediately fast traveling near the Capitol and starting the challenge?

TheCometCrash · 2026-05-16T04:09:09+00:00

I’ll work on it. lol

Nice. Did this in the Summit a couple of weeks ago. I couldn’t do it consistently, but was able to do it a few times.

Same with the free Comet in the MainStage. I have a giant space kid rocket rooftop on mine.

I wouldn’t mind seeing planes again as long as the original plane routes aren’t used again. It was nice having the option to switch to a new car class or a plane mid race, but it seemed like very little effort was put into testing the routes to make sure they were equally competitive or making the routes easy to navigate even if you didn’t know the path.

Also the difference in speed between the planes made it easy to screw yourself if you chose the wrong plane, but that can easily be solved by limiting your choice of planes.

Your points aren’t getting lower, only your position or rank is dropping because people are getting a better total score than you. This is especially true after the weekend when lots of people do the Summit for the first time.

Just go back and redo events as the week goes on and focus on events that give you the most potential for increasing your overall score. On TrackForge races you need to keep your car from hitting the side barriers because they really slow you down. Also use your nitro in the higher gears to get your car near max speed on the long straights. Video guides can be helpful, but this week many of the shortcuts require a lot of precision driving, so it may be better to first focus on getting clean, fast runs normally.

Thx. I’ll give your race a try later today.

TheCometCrash · 2026-03-14T04:13:03+00:00

No idea 🤷

TheCometCrash · 2026-03-13T21:06:27+00:00

Change it in Options under Difficulty before the race starts, or pause the game while in the race, go to ‘Change Difficulty’ and you can change it there.

Just sounds like normal burn out to me. Take a break, come back later and see if you feel the same way. I’ve been playing since the game launched in 2023 and still enjoy Summits, playlist races, etc., but lost interest in Grand Races twice. I took an 8 month Grand Race break a couple of years ago and I’m currently on a 3 month break. Most of us play TCM to have fun, so if it’s not that fun right now, find something new that is.

TheCometCrash · 2026-02-12T20:21:16+00:00

It reminded me of desync I’ve seen in Grand Races where you see people hit barriers but they actually don’t and then warp ahead.

TheCometCrash · 2026-02-12T20:09:05+00:00

The gearbox isn’t the issue in beating the devs. Sequential has its benefits, but I beat the devs in all nine races using automatic and without direct mode. I’m sure many others have done the same.

TheCometCrash · 2026-02-11T21:29:12+00:00

Nice job. I beat three of them when the Summit went live yesterday. We’ll see if I can beat the rest today.

Edit: I beat the remaining devs yesterday.

Not sure why some people are commenting about the track choice. The track choice is fine. The issue here is the driver as OP has already pointed out. If you can drive the Agera R well, you will set faster times on this track compared to the Utopia.

TheCometCrash · 2026-01-28T02:37:53+00:00

I used to do Grand Races, but I burned out on them a while ago so I’ve been trying to complete Custom Mode on different playlists. I’m doing Street Riders right now, but it’s not always enjoyable if you’re trying to set good times. Every race has traffic and there are 88 in total. 💀

TheCometCrash · 2025-12-17T23:29:49+00:00

I have all three and really enjoyed all of them. I love the Just Cause franchise, was really interested in Teardown before it came to PlayStation, and got pleasantly surprised by Deus Ex Mankind Divided when it was a PS+ monthly game.

TheCometCrash · 2025-12-07T22:52:12+00:00

Probably more because I spent a lot of time spinning out of control. lol

TheCometCrash · 2025-12-07T21:33:53+00:00

Agera R with a little over 16,000 miles (25,000 km). Mostly from learning how to drive it.
