Grand Prix is literally unfair. The computers move faster than the player and they always target you. Most of the tracks in the game are too small. It feels like the game constantly punishes you no matter how far behind you are. It's like they DON'T want you to play the game! The difficulty NEEDS to be nerfed because the newcomers are gonna stop playing the game because of its brutal difficulty.

CPUs move faster than you and target you specifically to make the race more competitive you know (it is called rubber banding)

If you can survive the first turn you are a legend

Yes, exactly! I was playing a custom multicup and even with one CPU I still lost.

So I'm supposed to just pray for the best? 'Cause I've been playing MKPC for almost 5 years.

Yep. There's a lot of luck involved.

Best I can tell you is to make sure that you win the first 3 races every time so that you shuld be able to win while only doing moderately on the Rainbow Road. And to just don't drift on the Rainbow Roads either.

Thats kinda the problem though no? The fact that THAT much luck is involved and the best strategy is to just hope you get first in 3/4 races so that 1 won't impact the score as much. It's not something you would call fairly designed.

I mean, if you put in the effort getting 1st in 3/4 races is still more skill than luck. Just make sure you clutch up on Rainbow Road and you'll be fine.

The first 3 races in both cups are free

For the 4th race just don't drift at all

It works. Just do it.
