Burning Vehicle Race Strat?

[BadPing]

Hey all,

 

I'd like some advice on what to do after my vehicle starts burning while playing on race, considering there are no repairs around. I'm never sure what the best move is when this happens. I'll try to explain myself. Sometimes I would rush to the next CP and die a few seconds after I reach it but I would not respawn in the CP I just passed but on the previous one. Some other times I do respawn on the CP I just got. In the former situation, I guess killing myself as soon as my HP reaches 0 would be the best thing to do because I wouldn't waste time trying to reach the next CP. The problem is I can never tell in which CP I'm going to respawn so I can make the best choice (killing myself or going for one more CP). What I want to know is how your respawn position is determined by the game. Is it a matter of distance to the CP or maybe elapsed time since the last one? I tried to figure this out by myself but obviously I couldn't so it would be great if anyone could share their knowledge about how this works and what's the most efficient thing to do when your car is burning.

 

*CP = checkpoint (just in case)

I think there's a timer at each cp reach. If that timer runs out you spawn there.

I can't find the code atm so i can't tell you the specifics.

The checkpoint you reach will become a respawn point if you either live for five more seconds or if you reach the checkpoint after it.

Vehicles have 5 seconds of firetime, which makes it basically impossible.

 

So if you are on fire it's only worth going for the next checkpoint if you're sure that you can get two checkpoints.

 

There's also two perks in the shop that play with this, the respawn perk changes the time to live to one second and the respawn time to one second, the burning perk increases burning time

Nice!! I do have the longer burnup perk so I'll keep the 5 seconds rule in mind. Thanks!
