Candice Swanapoeli - what kind of name is that? Well, as long as she is naked  My final attempt on this - did a terrible job on the highway, was ahead compared to my 2.25.44 time by 0.73 sec going onto the highway. I was too afraid of the traffic and lost a lot of time - not taking chances. I simply took the wrong way around them most of the time  Poul   2.25.17 - Grnkjr0 - Aston Martin One-77 - 0 Resets |

Here is the video of my 2.25.17 run. Hate the fact it should have been a high 2.24. with some more risk taking and not playing it safe.

I'll use VG's pics as I'm a lazy mo'fo. 2.26.47 - OTC_PriME - Aston Martin 0ne-77 - 0 Resets I would like to say well done to everyone who put up some amazing times, I really don't know how you guys have the patience for that track, the traffic drove me nuts, so a few attempts here or there would do for me. Once again well done to all  |

I would like to say well done to everyone who put up some amazing times, I really don't know how you guys have the patience for that track, the traffic drove me nuts, so a few attempts here or there would do for me. Once again well done to all I didnt! :S I dedicated a couple of hours... In that time I managed to maybe finish 2 times without crashing... If I didnt had anything else I wanted to do in this game, maybe I would have invested more, but it would just upset me and I need to relax. This game, for better or worse, its not only about driving. Its about luck with PC Cars, Traffic and NOS gathering. So its also a game of patience!  When I think about it, maybe this way is better, since it scrambles things and makes them more interesting. Cya all and well done! Rogério |

Cya all and well done! Rogério Woh!  calm down I'm not insinuating anything, I just past comment saying well done and how much patience people have with this game. You are right this game is about luck with the things you mentioned hence why you need the patience to put up the good time's people have posted. I could keep up with Poul right up until that 2nd to last corner where the traffic decides to go crazy and I couldn't keep my speed up, he get's through it I don't. So there is luck as well as skill involved, so fair play to him and well done for posting such a brilliant time and not excluding everyone else who took part. I accepted that as much as I tried I was not going to be obsessed with trying to beat everyone and accept that I'll win some and lose some but at least I know I'm racing against top drivers and posted a decent time that most people would be happy with. Anyhoo, when you gonna get back to multiplayer, as pops and I like racing online because of the unpredictability with all the crazy shizen that happens. Peace |

Hi! I was giving my point of view not based on what you said, but because it is what I think! I said those exact same things to Aaron a few days ago when he asked me if I would try to beat his 2m 25.57s. I really spent close to 2h trying and only finished 2 times at best without resets (in fact, now that I come to think about it, I dont really remember finishing any other race besides the one I post here without a reset). Basically, what I am trying to say is that, at least for me, this competition will not be as others before because I dont have the time to enable the patience required to achieve perfect runs, when there are so many variables you cant control. I will do my best while I have fun doing it, then I will stop and go try Online or another Challenge! ;P This game, the more I play it, the more I notive details from the Team behind it and the more I believe that this game is really much better then what we may think at first. Resets were not implemented because it was cool, they are really necessary... Too bad that sometimes they give advantage!  Rogério |

I spent many hours with this challenge, not because I got a reset with traffic, but because you need luck with the AI cars.
At first I had decided not to try to beat Aaron´s time, because it seemed to be too difficult. But because I did all those tests with why some people lose time in their videos - I found out how to be fast on the 1st part of the track - then I actually started believing I could beat Aaron´s time.
I then started analyzing what to do. It is important how the AI cars act in front of you and how fast they go - as well as being able to draft from start without using nos. If you use nos from the beginning of the race, you will not be able to build up speed on the 2nd shortcut before the jump. It is also important to drift around the 1st shortcut just slightly touching the barrels, to recharge even more nos and also luck with the traffic - getting close to them so you get near miss nos as well. In a perfect run I am sure a low 2.24 or even high 2.23 would be possible. I had many runs where i lost everything because I got around the traffic the wrong way and ended up in the pavement - losing speed - even hitting the signs to get pass. So this track is more about luck than any other PBRC I have raced I think - can not think of any other we did in the past that had so many factors in play achieving a good time.
