Asphalt 9: Legends
Asphalt 9: Legends
Car Simulator: Drive & Drift
In Asphalt 9, speed is victory—but there are plenty of ways to shave seconds off your time. Every track is packed with ramps, shortcuts, and nitro boosts to exploit.
We asked the experts at Gameloft Barcelona to show us how it’s done on one of our favorite courses: “The Path of the Wind,” from Career mode’s Class D Novice season. Principal game designer Antoine Cabrol answered the call, notching a blazing-fast time of 01:25:487.
Your challenge: Beat his time using the same car—a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution—upgraded to your heart’s content. Need help? Try these three strategies Cabrol employed in his record-setting run.
1. Fly early
Make sure you take the first ramp instead of charging past it on the left. The aerial route is definitely quicker here!
2. Play it straight
Don’t turn when you don’t have to: It’ll slow you down, adding needless milliseconds to your time. That’s why, as Cabrol approaches the bridge, he takes the left ramp (which he’s already angled toward), not the right.
3. Embrace caution
Though he’d usually take the track’s second ramp, Cabrol zooms past it on this run. Having just struck a rival car, he couldn’t hit the jump correctly. Sometimes, safer is better.
