A platinum medal in Need for Speed: The Run for the AEM challenge, "Raw Power".

Start off with some drafting. Whatever you can get. Dodge the ramp at 0:14. Keep boosting along whenever you can until the end of the straight. From there, preserve your boost and gather more in the shortcut. Once you turn out, boost until your meter is at about the second or third bar, a little more than I did. Take the turn at 0:51 aggressively and brake a little before it if you need to. From there, save up all your boost until it's nearly full and then boost down the final straight. If you stay in the middle, none of the oncoming cars will be able to hit you.

As far as I can tell, this is the fastest way to do this challenge. I could see it being possible to save a few seconds off with better turning and boosting that's closer to what I wrote than what I did, but it would be hard to do much more. Under 1:25 (or even 1:26) would be pretty insane. Plenty of time to spare, so it's no big deal. Have fun!
