LOL, I feel you're pain brother I feel you're pain.... I won't be competing in this one either with my 2.00.xx and 2 resets... My nephew came over earlier with his game pad and beat my time on this track by 4 seconds and no resets..... so the 1.56.xx that shows up on the board wasn't done by me... and I can't accept it...... 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 Rogério

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 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. Eheheh! I understand you! Anyway, its important to say that my 1m 48.5s has 2 resets one without impact in the time, but the other with great impact, close to 2s faster then what it should be. Anyway, I have finishing my run here... I have a Race without resets I did a few hours ago... In the point you show in your picture I was 0.66s faster then my time... Unfortunately I had to take my foot of the accelerator when entering the straight before the dirt shortcut and on top of that I hit the logs exiting the dirt section... It should have been a 1m 49s something, but it was a 1m 50.1s... After this I decided to stop, because I couldnt stand it anymore! :S I will upload the video soon. Rogério

I too will not race this challenge anymore. I tried to set a decent time and I managed a 1.50.56 with 0 resets. I must point out that my time up until the straight before entering the shortcut was really good compared to Rogerio´s time - i was ahead by 1.80 sec at one time - but I think I made a mistake on the shortcut, because I clearly lost a lot compared to Rogerio´s time. It surdenly should had been a 1.49 and I know it´s possible for me to do so, but I will rather watch some Bluray´s I recently bought and restitute from Friday nights drinking. Video will follow... Poul 1.50.57 - Grnkjr0 - Mustang Boss 302 - 0 resets.

I won't be posting my time due to the reset, I can smash my time by at least a second and a half, but I was fed up with doing this over and over again so I just gave up. To add: I lose so much time in the last straight its not funny. I will be up on VG's time coming into the last check point and will lose over 3 seconds between the checkpoint to the finish line. I can't understand that in the final straight with perfect cornering, hitting no cars or walls and nosing down the final straight, the time just eats away like I'm standing still. I know about the exploit but you can keep up with the time coming into the final straight but after that the time slips away, like I said as if I'm standing still. Fair play to all you guys, again there are great time posted. Congrats to you guys. Pea Soup

I'm in full RAGE because of this game now! How the Hell am I supposed to beat my times, when there's no option to race my own shadow or even race against my own split times? The game does not even show me comparison times to closest friend or stage leader. I'm driving blind and the results are shit! Are you sure you want to RAGE QUIT? YES! Jussi PS. I'm gonna go play NFS World, it far more relaxing than this.

Hi! Poul and Prime, the answer to your questions is the same! Poul the reason why you are so up my times is because you burn all your NOS much before then I do... In fact, after seeing your video I am considering I did very bad use of NOS in the 1st third of the track! :S When you reach the straight before the dirt shortcut you are just 0.4s faster then me, which is not much if we consider I have most my NOS available... In fact I am just 0.4s faster then you in the end because I really f*** up the dirt exit! To both of you, the reason why you loose so much time to my 1m 48s time in the last part is because there a reset allows to gain up to 2s, which I won in that lap... I never thought I would say this, but I am going to try a few more runs now! LOL Rogério

If your time on this track is 1:50... 1 reset makes it 110 seconds x 1.01 = 111.1 seconds = 1:51.100 and... 2 resets make it 110 seconds x 1.02 = 112.2 seconds = 1:52.200 Are the resets a good strategy then? ...at least they can save some of those grey hairs. Jussi
