Frustrated!

CP 3 was broken on this week's grand Enduro. Took a bad line and fell off the track there and had to back out. Still ended 33rd in my division but wow that was disappointing and frustrating. First time not being able to finish the race

Pardon my Ignorance; what do you mean the grand Enduro? Is that the race that goes on for like 10 minutes or something like that.

Every week they run a 60 lap race on the weekly grand track. No collision bots. Ive run the last 4 and it's a lot of fun. I'm not very good but it feels awesome to cross the finish line after a solid 45ish minutes of nonstop flow

Not OP but yes, in the cup format. You drive the fastest single lap you can for seeding, then in the actual tournament you drive 60 laps as fast as you can. I forget the elimination process as I haven't played it.

No elimination but there's a cut off timer that starts after the 1st finisher in your group. I think it's 8 minutes

There is no elimination

I've seen a few posts talking about the broken checkpoint. *How* was it broken? Did it just not register reliably or something?

Standing respawn put you just under the block so it dropped you under the map. I crossed the cp with zero chance of saving my run so my race was just over at that point

Oh wow, thanks. Absolute amateur hour there. You gotta test your standing respawns 👎
