does this verdalith person own a 9 f and has it registered as their personnel car when entering these races, it's the only thing that I can come up with that could explain the luck they seam to have in getting them to spawn in when that group of cars is an option. I'm not saying they are cheating but that would be stacking the deck a little and gta does work that way with spawns tho. I've never tested the theory or even own a 9 f idk just a thought.
@@kaptainkmann7808 personal vehicles do not and have never influenced traffic spawns. broughy also owns a 9F but you don't see him get those often on PS5
watch any video on how to spawn custom varients and they prove your wrong then and now. also I didn't say owning one was enough. while they will not change the spawn set they will effect what you see around you if it's within the spawn set. always has.@@DiNmiTe
@@kaptainkmann7808 watching back his VOD, Verdilith has an Osiris has their personal vehicle and they were in said vehicle prior to starting the job, thus not influencing the traffic. BTW love the "I have this statement but its on _YOU_ to find the evidence to back it up" clever
learn to understand context kiddo I never made any statement of having evidence against anybody in fact I clearly pointed out I was not saying anyone was cheating LOL grow up@@DiNmiTe
Dunno... I think I'm part of neither crowd you mentioned... I was never able to find enjoyment in someone elses misery. But I also really don't need the absolute highs. I just enjoy content that's genuine and fun, which really is the reason why I stuck around here :)
Exactly the same here.🤝🤝🤝
"My bits in the middle are allright" - Broughy1322
Need to work on 3 areas - the start, the finish and a little bit in the middle... 😫
He could practice not crashing into oncoming traffic. Him talking about becoming so good he never loses was funny to me.
Maybe add a 4th, understanding what level means. That damn car was 45° sideways
Random GFREDs are a thing now. 😮 can’t wait to see one here
i was hoping for that too
Broughy doesn't need a break from Gfreds The man needs a full on hibernation
15:49 That's.............what she said.
Should just do a “training session “ stream with RBS coaching ya through it.
And alcohol
Sir, you must understand, in a very Shakespearean sorta way, your fails and the laughter the stems from them are the very reason sooo many of us watch these gfreds
I concur!
GG to Verdilith for the stream record! 🌟 And Broughy, I'm sorry to see that you are maybe not enjoying participating in Gfreds as much anymore. I don't care whether you win or not, it's always been just a fun race to watch, and it's sad seeing some of the Gfred spirit go away. I started watching other people stream Gfreds as well because they would play them often and I was happy to see my favourite type of race so frequently. It feels a bit unfair to complain about people playing this gamemode often because they enjoy it so much. I am happy for those that love it, whether to watch it or to just play it. It feels a bit sad to see your reaction to these Gfreds recently. In this video particularly it feels like you are pinning the lack of enjoyment on those that do well and it doesn't seem nice. As you said, maybe you will go back to OG line. Whatever feels fun for you, that's what's fun for most of the audience too, in my opinion. I hope you prioritise enjoying yourself, even if it means not necessarily doing Gfreds anymore. Or maybe creating a new race from scratch. Just hope you have fun! 💖 I hope I wasn't out of line with this comment. Hope you have a nice day!
Couldn't have said it better! I too enjoy daily doses of other streamers doing GFREDs (yes, those that are usually in the top tier, but also those that just have fun and have super funny commentary). I am sad to see Broughy get so salty about all of this.
You said it much better than I did. I was much harsher in my wording, but you're completely right. He's become tired of Gfreds and it shows, and now he's sucking the fun out of it for everyone else too, both players and viewers. Having to listen to the constant whining isn't fun. I could've just stayed married if that's what I wanted.
@diananahh YES!!! I share the same feeling and couldn't have explained it better!!!
I thought the record was fastest kill at the start. That's got to be a record too right?
It doesn’t have to take u 10h to get better at this. U just need practice the swim line - your run line to highway - new line up chiliad - new fast line down chiliad and u be in the mix. The rest is luck lol
He streams for a handful of hours 3 days a week, with regular breaks. Has other people edit his videos and all the content is made by other people (tracks / cars). There's just not enough time.
i still think "Big Rig Fred" idea from a little while back is worth considering, if you ever run out of fresh ideas and want to do something dumb.
What's a Big Rig Fred?
@@knudiinliverpoolit would have to be done on 5M, but basically if you change traffic to only include the Hauler, Packer and Phantom you get "Big Rig Fred". they are surprisingly powerful so they can climb Chilliad fine, but the sheer size is a problem, probably especially in a race situation. Broughy joked about it in one of his recent gfred where he started with a Hauler
Also bridges might be tough to get under in some vehicles
@@Andrew110the only real pinchpoint is the airport garage, since the big rigs cant make the jump and dont fit through the normal way
You were saying that you never want to get so good that you'll win every Gfred. I totally understand that and it's great showmanship too. There's another channel where the driver always wins. There's no suspense in that! Your shows are entertaining because nobody knows how it will turn out. 👍
I'm still enjoying the Gfreds a lot, but I think it's a good thing the off-season is just around the corner for you to get a well deserved break from it and some time to reconsider how it can be improved for your streams. Whether that be a handicapped version for the top performers, more variations to lessen the impact of the final result by making the actual driving more varied/interesting, an entirely new, semi-competitive, carnage filled final hooray for Sunday streams, or something different alltogether: I'm looking forward to what the future holds in store :) !
It's not about how you place, we just enjoy seeing you race:)
Belated GG to Verdelith ... that closing 'congrats, happy for ya' needs clipped and turned into a donation alert
By the way i'd love to see videos on "now to get better at gfred" by yourself or with someone giving tips
Psst, the Start: instead of doing your spiel on the island, focus on the race and do your spiel in the water/run. This does two things, gets you into the start of the pack and provides content in the "dry" section. Chiliad descent: It's all in the setup, just spend the five minutes to see one of RBS's videos where he does it. Then just consistently try it, once you get the initial lineup, the rest is managing the bounces from air control. Hail Mary: Don't change a thing. This is one of the major drama points of what made GFreds a "thing" even back before Sarah came up with the Hail Mary, the old parachute line could fail or gain positions depending, which is unlike other races where the one in the lead toward the end just wins and you might as well stop watching, here there's risk, it's all on the line and could go either way. Both groups, those of us who root for you to do better and those who like to see fails get an emotional "hit" when disaster strikes which is compelling.
Brough, remember how dreadful you used to be at the airport segment? Over the years you've really honed it in. I'm sure you can work on the rough patches!
One bit in the middle that could be improved is the start of the 'middle route/elevator' where others carry a lot more speed in the transition and get up the inclines a bit easier because of it... as well as faster. Regaining that momentum really takes time.
You go too far to the right on the Hail Mary. That’s why you keep fucking up!
Yep every race hes had where he died is all cos hes taking a poor line into it. You can actually go back and see his good jumps and he would always swing left after he hits the jump to get the distance. For whatever reason he goes right now which means he lacks distance and speed so the car is unpredictable and when he exits the car its usually still either going up or just starting to come down but he hasnt cleared the road so he just hits it. Theres a reason he has never died to his car before the recent attempts, when you swing left after the jump the angle and trajectory of your car is lower so when you exit it clears you and goes below you while you stay above as you open the chute. He used to do this all the time ive no idea why hes changed his method hahaha
that hail mary looked like pure bad luck. your jump was steady and level as I've ever seen one.
Gfred spirit. R.I.P.
I am happy either way you are amazing keep up the great entertainment
Can't win....change the rules! and whine about it the entire time 😁
Exactly what I was thinking
He's like a parent who wants their kid to get a medal for participating. When he was consistently doing well and other people wasn't taking it as serious or practicing it was all good but because others have taken it upon themselves to improve he know realises he actually sucks at it. If people didn't practice and find ways to improve then they'd still be doing it the original way and there'd be no hail Mary or new lines. He needs to accept where he is and stop acting like a baby and it's good so many people are calling him out over it
Broughy needs to experience the "boosted" gfreds
we need a dedicated 2 hours stream of broughy practicing for a hail mary fr
Imagine after all this anguish Broughy takes the stream record in the last Gfred of the season out of sheer spite.
jeez, the guy is really having a rough time of it these days. 😟 brough, im not the guy to be telling you what to do, but you either have to find the time somewhere to get better or stop caring about your results. i know you got a life outside of gfreds so im not going to shit on you but damn man you gotta pick a lane because we love you and we love your content and we want to see you happy and enjoying yourself.
Have you ever thought of making some more GFRED routes? Like different starting, finishing and checkpoint spots? Maybe have some of the loyal racers in the streams come up with some new ideas for new & challenging routes? I mean, if IndyCar just did a 500 mile race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway every week, the race would lose it's luster pretty quick. But there's only one Indy 500 each year. Everything else before & after that revolves around it. Maybe do this classic GFRED once per season (perhaps as a finale) and have another series of new GFRED's lead up to it. That would make this special race that much more special and, perhaps, you wouldn't feel as burned-out on it as you pretty clearly do these days. Just in idea that popped into my head. Always enjoy your content no matter what :)
If anything it'll make it worse because those who are naturally better in cannonballs will have an advantage, and those who want to run the game and learn the best routes will also get an unfair advantage -- he does do variations such as "OG-Fred" so you have to do the original routes but changing the job itself will make the pace disparity worse
@@DiNmiTe Listen here, Lech Wałęsa. Broughy is tired of Gfreds and the viewers are tired of Gfreds. So what if the grinders have an advantage? They do have one now. Break the status quo.
@@TufteMotorsport im literally repeating what broughy himself said. a new or a modified gfred route does not solve the problem broughy has
Happy birthday!🎉
I wholeheartedly agree with whatever new rules come into play to balance the game mode out. When the same 2 or 3 people win the races every time it takes a lot of joy out of watching, and participating im sure. We just want to see you do well and enjoy playing the game
I mean... at no point that Hail Mary was good enough to jump out XD Way too slow, and it was actually too low as well, you could've just retried it
He went too far right as usual. No idea why he started going so far right on the jump now, he used to be great at it. Man just needs to swing it a bit left as hes going up so he gets the distance.
@@Jockuptown Yeah he's taking the wrong line and the car's pointed straight up, it's why it keeps hitting him as it levels out.
@@Jockuptown Exactly. He always wants to get as high as possible, but it's not only the height which is important, it's also the speed. Actually I wonder if you'd be better off going too low but going really far than the opposite since you have a huge drop to get your back
I may have commented this or only thought about commenting in a past Gfred, it would be fun to have a race with 2 groups, one doing hotlaps and other doing only og lines
I think watching you do bad in more entertaining Brough! Always something different when it isnt going well
Yeah I think you may need to take a break.
I smell a burnout. But not the one you do with cars.
Simply making whoever wins a GFRED start ~20s later than everyone else, cumulatively, for the duration of any season is a good place to start. Yes the usual skilled individuals will win some GFREDs at the beginning of a season, but then it becomes interesting in it's own right to see from how far back they can keep repeating victories, as well as providing opportunities for newer faces to duke it out at the front. Banning anything or changing who is allow into which lobbies and when will only damage the community as a whole.
Records are broken The misery's compounded I can't even do a full seeeeend
RBS has perfected the Full Send. He's full on the gas to the left of the trail, then goes just left of the big rock to hit the launch point. That's what I will be practicing.
I'm wanting next season Or finding the reason I'm failing Hail Mary agaaaain
You really need to stop spoiling the race in the title. I dont care if i watch a race and you do badly but i dont care when i dont see it coming but if you basically confirm that youre going to have a horrible race in the title I see no point in watching
agreed
then dont watch it?
@@BrainRotProductionsim not going to theres literally no point i just hope my comment convinces him to stop spoiling the videos so i and many more people can happily watch his amazing videos
@@mk-en8ws Doesnt bother me, then again, if youre satisfied with "I lost the race" instead of watching and seeing what and how it happens ,who am I to judge you
When I watch the random all I don't look at the title as I know it's gonna give it away .
That hail mary line is really having a go at it with you lol
I don’t think anybody genuinely enjoys you doing bad in these races. It’s just the trolls doing the laughing emojis in chat but even those people want to see you do well.
that was a great run for stream record, 17:12 is and amazing time
Brouphy, you need a hug. You did fine, but you just got a little unlucky on the Hail Mary jump. Seriously, if we wanted to see GFREDs done well, we'd watch RBS's or Verdilith's channels. As far as the death at the beginning, the player landed on RBS in the chaos at the beginning and somehow died.
GG
GG's everyone! Definitely an entertaining one.
Dude’s no Brian O’Connor. More like Brian Spilner, straight buster. Just need to practice, no excuses.
Crazy how i somehow didin't know till now that there's a vehicle called "tipper" lol.
Q: is it quicker to do the parachute jump in a convertible car as opposed to a hard top?
I believe they're both the same speed since the exit animations are the same
no, they jumped out of the car just like you enter them.
If I propose another version of Gfred (different checkpoints), is there somewhere I could share that for your consideration?
If anything it'll make it worse because those who are naturally better in cannonballs will have an advantage, and those who want to run the game and learn the best routes will also get an unfair advantage
@@DiNmiTe So what solutions/alternatives do we have right now?
@@RolyMoes so far whats been mentioned by brough (he wants to brainstorm a bit more during his off-season) A) delayed start to previous winners of a season. i.e. lets say RBS won 2 Gfreds before, the next Gfred he joins he needs to wait 2 x 15seconds before starting his race B) limiting people to one platform per month (similar to how he does snowfreds) - unsure how this applies to something like 8th Gear but this way it ensures as varied a lobby as possible, and not the same 15% of people playing every week but overall he will take the April off-season to brainstorm ways to change up Gfred without making a new job because that does not solve the problem
@@DiNmiTe Right, I remember him mentioning these now. Thanks for the response.
no GFRED for old men
We’re still having fun watching GFRED. Have the spirit. 🛻🔥
he is losing it
I want to do better but I don't want to/have time. Pick a lane my guy. It doesn't take 10hrs at a time. Watch parts of the better racers vids on what you need to work on and a handful of time and you're good to go. It's really not that hard.
He literally does not have time tho, amongst editing, car testing, on top of taking care of a house, pets, a wife, and getting some time off, his time is very limited -- whenever he does what you suggest he still makes mistakes because it's not that simple
@@DiNmiTe I'm in the camp of not giving a shit about his finishing place or time, but he certainly does it seems. So at it's core, it's simple. Either devote some time to it or not care. Can't have it both ways. I've gotten much better and sliced time off of my PB by simply watching other, and I don't have hundreds of races under my belt. To sum it up, he either needs to shit or get off the pot in regards to his performance. There's always going to be shit in the comments. As a creator you simply have to have thick skin, make a decision which is best for you, and do that.
@@tackleboxyThe worst part isn't even that he's shit. As long as he'd be enjoying it, it would be fine, but he's not. He's become jaded and bored and all his constant complaining and whining is spoiling all the fun of watching these videos. And now on top of it he wants to give time penalties to the people who are better than him, or, even worse, stop them from joining, which is ridiculous at best. He's basically saying: "Let me win, or else."
@@DiNmiTe Aren't you editing some vids now too? You can leave the rest of that jazz out. Every mature adult more or less has the same life responsibilities, and works 40+ hours a week. Brough streams, almost verbatim, 9 or 13 hours a week. That leaves 31 or 27 hours to test and edit. I'm sure Brough gets quite busy, and puts in some real hours at times, but lets be for real for a moment, and get over ourselves if we think Brough plops down on his computer chair at 7am, and doesn't leave till 7pm every night.
@@95mushroom i only edit the randoms and gfred survival, broughy still edits majority of the videos, especially the more complex edits. ultimately if brough says he has a lot to do and does not have free time to play games then we have to take his word for it, what the average person does is irrelevant the one thing he has said tho is he is considering doing something during the offseason but that would also contradict the point of the offseason and stopping gfreds for that month but ye we take his word for it
I enjoy when u play good and when u play bad. U should just relax and play it with clear mind. Maybe thats why we like you, because u can do good but also very bad, so its allways uncertainity and feels great to not know whats coming. I even refuse to read the title and see the video time so i dont get spoiled :)
We need a Rumpo Fred
Its all good ..change it up! Chin up ! What can anyone do ... These guyz alarm clocks Goes Boemph BoEmph , BOemph BEOOMMM.... No disrespect to your editor in chief Verdilith an ive watched tons of RBSs viids . Them Guys are racers . Everyones got ro deal with it .
*He's out of the line but he's right* Meme.
You know in the interest of changing it up and making it more fair. You could try banning certain cars period from being used like the 9f and maybe the infernus even though they are so rare it might not be a big deal. Something to limit the guys who always finish top 5.
The always top 5 guys are there because they are better than the rest, not because for some odd reason they always get the best cars. The race is 100% fair.
Handicapping the good players because you can't compete is weak and lame in my opinion. You should have 2 leagues, one for the good players plus you and one for everyone else plus you.
You know what? That's the best solution i've seen so far. Ranked and Casual Gfreds as options based on past performance
3:52 What women say when they aren't ready for the full thing. 9:05 What women say when you give them the full thing.
why is the voltic avoided? in the og gta V it was one of my favourite fan cars and i thought it was almost as fast as the 9F, together with awd
The Voltic's top speed is abyssimal, unfortunately. It is a really fun car and climbs really well, I love it too. But it's simply the slowest car in the supers class and is even outclassed by sole sports and muscle cars because of its low top speed. :/
@@twinklesprinkle1318 also very fragile, they explode so easily. Which makes no sense since its electric :D
Thats quite literally why it makes perfect sense 😂@@flippy9133
Misery my fav😂
TIPPER? That thing is called Tipper? In my 10 years of playing i have never heard that name even once. To be frank I don't think I ever driven that truck at all 😂
You should watch more bloody squirrels videos that guy has some interesting lines and tactics. I've seen him do a few things different to how you do them 👍🏻
New meme car. Carbombizare.
The fact of the matter is things can only improve if he takes time to improve his start and chilliad decent. Handicapping people because they've had/taken the time is unfair. Broughy screws himself with his start then spends so much time bitching he makes mistakes. If he improved his start he would consistently finish better placed, he has no problem being trash in races so why's this different? Your boy has lost the plot dynmite and he ain't gonna suck you dry for defending his actions, until all his yes men tell him some home truths he'll always be this way
Glad I have a new fan simply from giving context to Broughy's situation :D
You're welcome 😘
So it was the start, chilliad decent and what was the last thing again??? 😁😁😁😁
The unforced errors are key, as it's always been. But seriously.. if every somebody needed a break from something Broughy.. take one. I am sure your supporters will understand!
Hello to all the happy people 👋
what you need to do is have a season standings where you have like 40-50 races per season and points are given based on positioning. if there's 30 people in a race, first gets 30 points, last gets 1 point. then at end of the season who ever has the most points wins. have a minimum of 10 races to even be considered top 10.
that wont totally make this more competitive and sweaty than it already is
Maybe consider making a new GFred layout? Might make for a better equalization than trying to implement rules.
The try hards will have mastered it in like a day.
GFRED should be: No scuba suit No brake boosting No bitching about being taken out by a 'lesser player' if you're one of the 'I've played 10,000 GFREDs to eke out a tenth' expected victors
Im not sold on the new changes coming to gfred. I'd personally rather see something like a change to the order of check-points in the middle of the race, or all of them if you want. Let some new lines be discovered rather than the same old stale race every week where you just hobble the people that took the time to get good at the one best available route possible.
Would just make it worse than before because those who have time or want to repeatedly run Gfred will naturally know the better routes and gain an advantage, moreso than now
@@DiNmiTe I get that and that may be true. But I'm just not the kind of person that likes the idea of holding someone back with a time penalty. I'd be more open to the idea of having winners being further limited on cars since that is already a rule thats been implemented before. Because like broughy said in the video, if you see certain people get into a 9F from the start you already know its over. That isnt fun to see. I appreciate your comment and point of view though. There may be no good option here and you cant please everyone.
11:49 Carbo-No-Aire
I'm watching this whilst eating pizza, suck it twitch chat 😎
Absolute Chad comment.
Another Fail Mary 🙈😂
I was right in front of you when you died at the hail mary.. I think you'd have beaten me if hadn't died.
It's not enough for you to simply bail when the car is level, you have to make sure it's not rotating. It needs to be stable and level, not unstable and level
Can we have a motorbike Fred but with death turned on?
I say if your wanting to mix it up a little, maybe change up the routes and call it Gfred II. Could start on Chiliad or in the city and mix up the check points or add new ones.
If anything it'll make it worse because those who are naturally better in cannonballs will have an advantage, and those who want to run the game and learn the best routes will also get an unfair advantage
@@DiNmiTeI understand that there are some that will have a natural advantage and there will be those out there that hot lap it but trying something and it not working is better then not trying nothing and getting totally burnt out. Whats the worse thing that can happen but to try?
@@radhazardcfm Brough has experience from doing communityfreds, he knows what happens, those who never seen the job before struggle like hell and those who _have_ gets a crazy advantage
@20:00 *likes the video out of pity and closes the window*
Ah man, that's a tough one. I don't like all this blaming on "pro" players just because they play Gfred a lot more than other people, this is just what happens with any competitive game ever. The main issue is that Brough seems to be seriously tired and possibly going through a burnout. Hope this off-season is enough for a well-deserved rest. Now, as for his performance, that was undeniably poor. Two car changes, settling for a below average Sultan, failing the Hail Mary. This has nothing to do with other people. I really hope Brough drops this "10 hours a day" narrative, practicing is unavoidable to iron out these mistakes. No one is demanding consistent record-breaking performance, just that he stops making so many mistakes on his own, which is perfectly possible with a few hours of practice, maybe counseling from other players. Denying this will only fuel the anger towards better racers. (Still, I'm not against some sort of handicap to even out the playing field against freakishly good players, or even doing more variations to make things less predictable)
So the solution for being bad at Gfred is giving the good players time penalties or inventing rules so they can't compete at all? Just because, as he said, he doesn't want to spend a lot of time getting better? How is that fair to the players who do spend time getting better? Put in time and you get punished? This is beyond childish. If you don't like Gfreds anymore, stop playing them. There are enough other people who will gladly take over the Gfred torch.
Yea it's one thing to let others get a chance to join, but it's another to gimp people because they're good
A few months ago Verd had to wait for someone to run again and he still won by either close to a minute or well over that
@@dwightschrute1047Those are the game rules, not some arbitrary time penalty because someone is faster than you. Noone should get punished because they're better at something than someone else. If you want to be the best, practice more. If you're not talented enough to be the best and that upsets you, go do something else.
As someone who's been watching and lurking since GFREDs were on the other channel; it's kinda sad to see the enjoyment going away from this race for Broughy; its always been a nice video to watch every week and I hope that it won't stop for a long time from now. As for what was said in the video; I don't disagree that GFRED is less fun and whimsical than it once was, but like every game, there will always be those who enjoy it enough or are competitive enough to get really good at it and you'll naturally just get better players; who will therefore be more likely to win and I don't think that's a bad thing; I like the idea of handicaps carrying through a season as you mentioned, but maybe something like +20 seconds for a first place finish, +10 seconds for a second place and +5 seconds for a third place would be a good system? perhaps you could gift subs or give a special tshirt to people who win a GFRED on stream, for winning a GFRED with a handicap above a certain length? I don't really know where I'm going with this; I just don't want to see it change too much, but I also don't like seeing Broughy lose the old GFRED spirit and burn out on the mode. To end with a positive/suggestion: any chance of ever getting project homecoming to make a random mode with a timer for vehicle changes instead of changing per lap? I'd love to see a GFRED with a car change every 45 seconds or so and I think a lot of people would also like to see something along those lines; it would add that element of luck from random all and would both lessen the frequency of the same few people like verdilith winning every race, while also changing up strategy: "you may be in an infernus now, but will you risk the hotlap line up chiliad when you could change into a tornado half way up?" and doing that without straight up handicapping other players. It would of course only be for PC GFREDs, but still, would be nice to see once a month or something if it could happen. and yes, I'm aware that plenty of people could have made the exact same suggestions already, I just want to say that you can count me among those who's like to see something like them if changes are needed to stop Broughy from burning out.
It honestly looked like lag
19:50 The guy in front of him does the right hail marry line right in front of him... he still fails the line. All Broughy had to do was follow the other guy.
GFred karma at its finest i reckon
Random painfred please :D
you have to bribe me a lot of money to ever consider that for PH traffic ;)
Salty Broughy is the best Broughy! 😆
That Hail Mary seemed quite unfortunate. I don't mind seeing the struggle though, from a viewer's pov I think it's fine if you have a bad season sometimes. But it becomes an issue once you personally complain about it too much, as while the complaints are somewhat understandable they just lessen the entertainment (imo). It would be way better if you could simply enjoy doing Gfreds regardless of your final position in the race - sure with ambition to do good, but as others have said: In that case, you'll need to invest some time and practice. Or don't practice, but then please only do Gfreds if they are fun for you (they are still lots of fun to watch).
20:01 So this is why I lost 67k channel points after leaving for work....
@Broghy1322 Wow! That was an sucky Hailmary... And no, you didn't do anything wrong, that was GTAV being GTAV.
Try changing the check points
If anything it'll make it worse because those who are naturally better in cannonballs will have an advantage, and those who want to run the game and learn the best routes will also get an unfair advantage
where is the job on social club?
see broughy.com/gfredlinks
You're just making excuses saying it would take 10 hours to learn the better routes in GFred. It would take 20mins to watch one of RBS's videos and take note of the routes he takes.
taking notes is one thing, actually doing it properly is another -- i've watched multiple RBS streams when he does the full send down chiliad but I still haven't been able to nail it myself despite playing more often.
I dont think there is anything you can do to improve your start when your host starting position is at the far left of the island where your prime route fast track down is blocked or slowed by a cliff cut. You will do a lot better by changing your host starting position to the middle or far right. I am not a big fan of punishing good players for being good but you could put Verdilith or RBS to the far left as they can still do the BMX jump boost to make up for that disadvantaged start. When you use the scuba suit you always go far down low to the ground which slows you down based on my observation and then you swim right behind other players legs which gets you to resurface. Highway luck nothing much more you can do really you have always been disadvantaged from your starting position so feeding on scraps there. 3 routes to Mt Chillard now decision based on weather/vehicle is good. You dont make mistakes there. Chilliad descent just stick with your current route down if you want top 5s or at least be competitive. I believe full senders should be rewarded for their efforts. Observatory transition has always been your strong point. Hill Mary execution can be inproved and you have shown previously you can execute it quite well so it is definitely something you can do. Otherwise the OG route finish can still work for you well for Top 5 placement if you want to focus on good results.
The people in mid pack need to improve
just create a new gfred, another random race with random checkpoints

I think you should embrace the fact that people love Gfred and have hot lapped it etc. It's a really cool thing that a track with randomly placed checkpoints became so competitive, you would struggle to ever recreate that hype, even in GTA 6. It would be sad to see handicaps placed on the top guys, it kind of ruins the Gfred spirit. I think it would kill the hype of the race in my opinion, sure maybe other people might start winning but I like the fact that people are forced to work hard to keep up with guys like RBS and Verdilith. At that point handicaps may as well be placed on guys like Lok when it comes to random alls and I don't think anyone would want to see that either. This is just my opinion anyway.
Brouphy forgot how to do hailmary
