Glad to hear it Aaron, looks like we will see a Muscle car on top. Here is my video, notice my time at one point was 1.2 sec ahead of Rogerio´s, so a 1.51 can be done. Poul Eheh! Awesome video! How much luck do you need to finish this track? See this video! Rogério

Here is an entry that perhaps not is my fastest possible, but I am not sure that I am going to try to improve further with this car. I saw a thread about this challenge in EA forum, where someone linked a 1.49.xx video using the Mustang Boss, so the Focus RS is assumingly not the fastest on this track. I however find that Boss car too damn heavy and it will take me quite some time to be able to make a clean run on this one. But those who favor heavy muscle cars... Poul 1.52.50 - Grnkjr0 - Ford Focus RS - 0 Resets Poul as far as I am concerned your run compared to the 1m49 run deserves the kudos. You may be off that time but let me give you some statistics here. The 1m49 run had A total of just 37 vehicles including 1 bus and 2 caravans. Your 1m52.50 run had a total of 46 vehicles including 7 buses and 9 caravans. Those 9 vehicles make the world of difference as far as keeping a fast line and speed up. So in my book right now you take the WR hands down. So far any run I have done has had a minimum of 48 vehicles and I think it has to do with the difficulty that you have completed The Run itself on.

Brian I never heard that finishing career on extreme should mean more traffic? I did finish career on normal and extreme, but do we know if it makes a difference in Challenge Series?
I too was surprised to see how little traffic there was in that 1.49 video, but I just thought he had the luck that it was not rush hour. In all my runs I see this many vehicles.
I was very unlucky with the traffic just before the last shortcut - lost a lot of speed bouncing off and because I ended up outside of the main road. Usually the speed before entering that last shortcut is a lot higher and with more nos.

Yeah, I notice that... You would have done under 1m 52s without that... But until that point you have like 4 near crashes! I saw my video... I had only 42 cars... Rogério

Usually the speed before entering that last shortcut is a lot higher and with more nos. Poul No my speculation was incorrect. I did a quick career run through on easy and it made no difference at all to the challenges as far as traffic goes. I still get anywhere between 42 to 48 cars. It would be a dream run with just 37 cars and I am sure you could do a low 1m49 or even a high 1m48. I did a 1m51.37 and will upload vid in the morning and you will see me being pushed wide of the last dirt corner cut which I recon is worth a 50th sec and then clipped a log exiting the last shortcut for most probably 20th sec so 1m49 is quite achievable. That was with 42 cars in the way and it only took two........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................hundred or so runs. No just kidding more like 20. B

I also take the opportunity to ask Jussi what is his criteria to choose the tracks! I mean, in this Challenge Series I believe the McLaren one would be more fair and less frustrating. I wanted to use it, but since the track was the one that was criticized in our very first race, I wanted to choose a different one. If you guys have suggestions for future events please let me know, but remember that I rather pick the ones with minimal car choices. Jussi

I am sorry that I do not have the speed wall result in the video but you can see I left the recorder running way after the time result. The Run seems to freeze up constantly these days in between challenge screens, after finishing a stage in The Run, at the results screen and just randomly. It is driving me nuts because every time it does I battle to get the wheel to work again. Sometimes having to restart the game multiple times before it will work it sucks. 1m51.37 - Wizard70 - Ford Mustang BOSS 302 - 0 resets

Hi!
Jussi, thanks to you I have a few more white hairs and my PC is only still breathing because I cant buy another one... Unfortunately for me I decided to make a video of this track without resets... Which I still was unable to do with a time I consider good enough (< 1m 50.5s). I fear I will not be able to do it... Its incredible the amount of factors that have to work together for it to be possible... I have 1m 49.0s with one reset, but that reset allowed me to gain some time, so its not real... Still I already was up to 1s faster then that lap by the middle, but crashed always...
The only good thing about this is that, believe it or not, I was not aware that going on the wrong lane (against traffic) would earn us NOS... Had never notice it before! LOL
Today will try some more, but if I dont manage it, f*** it! :S The problem is that sometimes the only thing to do is to brake and drive slowly... All routes are blocked and we cant do s***! :S

Here is a thread on how to upload pics using Photobucket - isrc2.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=199

All routes are blocked and we cant do s***! :S Rogério I have alot more gray hair from this challenge! I had to stop playing last night because the anger takes the fun out of it. So many races like this one - ahead of Rogerios 1:48 on the straight before the last corner with no resets and of course, trying to pass the car on the right, i bounce off the rock walls and back into the car i wass passing, which killed my time... after i finally made it around the tight corner going onto the straight! 9 out of 10 times there is a car or bus or both, in that corner that is in my way! Getting ready to try a few more runs, i think i have some patience this morning.
