Some others you can't actually get 1000 points, because there might be say 4 stops that each award 200 points, leading to an 800 point maximum.Īs someone else on here has suggested, use the general top scores others are achieving to let you know if you're in the right mark for the top scores. Scenarios produced before TS2014 are not always consistent, you'll find some will let you potentially exceed 1000 points (though they are capped to never exceed it) which means it's usually very easy to get 1000 points on those. There are no bonuses or penalties for early arrival - there used to be pre-2014 but these were removed as they were one of the main ways people cheated (get a massive early-score that outweighs a moderate overspeed penalty for example). if you got a 500 point penalty, you would be deducted 250 points after the bonus of 250 is taken in to account.īasically "timeliness penalty" means you aren't getting the full award, "timeliness bonus" means you're getting the full award.

If you were very late then it may be a negative, e.g. if the full "bonus" is 250 points, and you have effectively a 100 point penalty, you will be awarded a timeliness penalty of +150 points - so it's less than you could get (hence penalty) but still positive. If you arrive outside of that tolerance then there is a penalty on the bonus - so you get a "timeliness penalty" which may still be positive, depending on how late you are.Į.g. American sports cars.You get points for arriving at each timed stop in a career scenario, if you arrive within a tolerance of the posted time then you get a "timeliness bonus" containing the full amount.
