Thecheats in LEGO Racers 1, not unlike in many other games, were put in solely for the purpose of messing around. They can only be used in single races, so they can't be used to progress through the game (which is good, since you shouldn't need cheats to beat the game ). I've had a lot of fun with these and mashing up different combinations for some hilarious results. The way they all work is by creating a racer with a certain name, the name itself is the cheat code, the actual make of the racer and his car doesn't matter (I like to make a racer that matches the cheat, but that's just me). Simply making the racer will turn on the cheat (for that time you are playing the game at least). To deactivate the cheat and reactivate it again, simply edit the license (you don't have to make any changes). Certain cheats will overwrite others, but certain ones can be used simultaneously.
While I was merrily on my way in Nar Shadda, I made the slightest of mistakes - when T3 was cornered by the HK droids, I decided discretion was the better part of valor and ran away, off screen. C'mon, one little droid vs. 3 Assasins? This sounded even more unfair than Atton vs. the Twi'leks. So, I ran.
As T3M4, you can easily beat the HK droids by first using your best droid shield, and then simply using the droid shock arm, which can inflict a decent amount of damage (1-6 per level), and automatically hits each time.
I know that theres a droid part vendor on Dantooine who also sells some HK-assasin parts. He's located just to the NW of the Administrator's HQ. You can also get him to join the militia defense if you are going for the LS.
I've played... erm... 12 times :"> and I have never, ever found the chassis for sale anywhere. The chassis and the vocabulator are unique parts and can only be scavenged off of HK-50s, IME. The control cluster and the processor are available from droid merchants.
I've done Nar Shadaa last before and next to last before (and first, and second, and part first and part whatever...), and only ever found the chassis on the HKs. It is a UNIQUE part. Of course, only someone willing to look at the code could confirm this either way.
It seems to me that if you take Newey out of the equation the field would be much closer together. Is it that I haven't really followed this field or is there no one that can challenge Newey? It seems to me that he has been on the top for so long.
I agree, and to add to it, how do so few of his proteges have similar success? Fallows may be the first. Are we so busy thinking its aero genius when it happens to be management genius? I just don't get how the tricks don't spread.
The16 year old fan in me didn't think Alonso's off track excursion was so violent to warrant the attention given to the floor. I thought there must some detail of obvious importance near the throat or floor edge. In this regard, I wonder if Fallows has an aero secret.
For Mercedes, it wasn't just the engines. It was also the chassis and more specifically the rear suspension. Newey spend a fair amount of years getting beat by that combination. Whatever Mercedes was doing with the droopy rear suspension, that they got to work to perfection in the last half of 2021 again, Newey didnt crack it.

Ferrari was right there with the Newey Red Bull in 2022 until it all seemed to fall apart after the technical directives.
Isn't Newey like the only current aero guy with (substantial) ground effect experience? That would also explain why/how Dan Fallows might have boosted Aston Martin this season too seeing as Fallows has been Newey's understudy recently.
There is no doubt that Newey is talented but I think it's very overstated. Red Bull won no titles between 2014 and 2020 and it wasn't just the engine.
Also, Perez, Gasly and Albon are 3 talented drivers that haven't been able to do much with the car.
While Newey is talented, I think the real cheat code is Max Verstappen. He's an absolute freak. Him, Newey and the whole team together are very strong.
It's the combination of the two, as it is always I guess. Brilliant driver and dito car, both unbeatable at the moment. FOr me also having now seen a few floors of the different cars. The RBR machine looks so much more advanced.
As great as Newey is I've always been uncomfortable with the idea that all a driver needs to win a WDC is having him design the car. There's no doubt he's been top of his field for a long time, but the RB aero team consists of more than just him.
I'd also argue it's also nice to get the tyre supplier to have secret tests with you that supposedly do nothing but magically produce tyres that fix your tyre eating suspension problems but I forgot, we don't talk about this and it never happened
Yeah, but it would be stupid to think a single tyre test in 2013 was relevant to years beyond. Maybe if you add 'secret' it makes it more significant, even though it wasn't, but I'm not so sure on that.
Newey is the greatest, but as others have pointed out, there's no way he does it alone. Let's also remember that he has an individual way of working, being more "hands on" and less enamoured of the management part of the role, than is conventional at this level. This led to fall-outs at Williams and McLaren.
Christian Horner is almost certainly a major contributor to success. He's found ways to adapt the organisation to play to the strengths and foibles of Newey (and presumably others). This is no mean achievement, as anyone who has ever managed a handful of techies in a humble office environment could testify.

I think it's because he 's one of the few designers left that have a holistic view of the car. Engineering has become so complex now (and science in general) that it's difficult for an engineer (or a scientist) to have a good understanding of areas outside their areas of expertise even when they are closely related. Newey begun his career at about the point where this need for specialisation was about to start so he's experienced this evolution and he seems to be able to appreciate and understand the complexity of different aspects of the car. It helps that he is by all accounts extremely curious and loves exploring new areas and concepts (and has the brain power to support those endeavours).
But you would think that after so long time that someone new would be there that could challenge him. Surely others and also newcomers see how powerful such an holistic view of the car is. Yet nobody can challenge him. Maybe I haven't followed it close enough but to me it seems like there is so little fresh blood at the top of designers.
Drivers come and go and many are super in Newey cars. So I think it is less the driver. Nothing against the drivers by the way. To me Max is already one of the greatest drivers on this Earth ever, Vettel was outstanding, etc... But the link is often Newey.
