Thanks to CATigerman for providing steps!
"When you wreck you pause the game, then quit, select new race and it will be glitched."
Also worth noting, it seems that have you have to lose a bit of your health before crashing for this to work, in other words don't just ram toward the wall the first you do.
check out what I just added to the guide.
If it's correctly done you will be stuck no matter what you do.
All you need to do is pause the game a second before you hit a wall. If done correctly you'll feel your controller rumble.
I'm able to replicate this 100% of the time.
I couldn't do it there method one time in 45 minutes.
No you don't need to take damage.
Exploit 1
As soon as the race starts head towards the wall and about 1 second before hitting the wall press Pause. If you have timed it right your controller vibrate.
Exploit 2
As soon as you start the first race, run over the obstacle to decrease your health then smash into the first wall.
Pause as your rider is mid air then Select Quit
Go to Start A New Race
If successful you will notice that the Count Down Timer is in now in slow motion and when the race begins you will automatically slam into the gates
If when you start the new race the count down timer is not in slow motion then the glitch hasn't worked.
Legitimate Way
Select a race, health potions are thrown from the crowd when your healths drops out of the green zone. in order for the track not to get littered with these potions keep your health as high as possible. Therefore instead of choosing one of the hectic short races, where everyone is smashing into each other. Select a longer race, stay out of fray as much as you can, and time your corners so you you aren't hitting the walls.
It will take a mixture of practice, luck and good timing.
Normally i do not condone using glitches, but when a game this bad is released the quicker it can be completed then the quicker it can be uninstalled and hidden from view forever
Start up the race. The first one being only 2 laps. I was keeping an even pace using the boost and passing the other chariots. By lap 2 in the last corner, mash the boost button and pass everyone for your 150G.
This is the same as "Mercury’s Touch," except for the fact that you can’t pick up any of the green health potions that appear on the track. As your health decreases, potions appear every few yards or so (whether you need them or not), so do your best to avoid them. Make sure you don’t accidentally pick one up as you are trying to destroy another chariot as it is common for you to be bumped all over the track when you’re hit. If you do, you can finish the race and try to unlock this in another race. This is easiest to do on the first race because it's limited to only two laps and there are fewer potions to avoid (provided you don’t take too much damage).
