So that's it the end of one challenge and onto the next, last months was a doozy which a few of you took to it like a duck to water while others had setup and controller issues, never mind though it was all good fun and Warchild stole the top spot so huge Kudos to him but will he reign supreme this time?. I'm sorry but at the same time not sorry for this next challenge, the track is a nightmare rollercoaster but the car is fun as hell so lets see who can master our first sprint trial.

The rules are simple,

Use the car and track chosen for the challenge and post your times in the thread as a screen shot of the in game leader board, it's that simple. All valid times will be added to the main Lap Times board.

What a horrible track. Top 3 spots seem to have been using the clipping cheat so I'll claim top spot in 4th place as being Gold. Can easily improve on this by 1 second. This was a 5minute car tweak. Even then i hit a few barriers.

I get a invalid lap everytime i go near a barrier :D The corner just before the tunnel i have had my lap cancel 3-4 times without going off the track :mellow:

I had the same issue in that little dip before the tunnel. Frustrating!
 
clipping???

You can cut corners completely, even taking shortcuts by fooling the game into thinking that you made an effort to brake. No idea why I said "clipping" i meant to write cornering cheat.

Thats why you see some at least 10seconds ahead of everyone else.

Also is it just me that experiences a total spin out on 2 of the humps with a wheel? I have to unrealistically slam the steering far to the right otherwise I spin out to the left and hit the fences.

When i first tried this challenge every time i hit those humps i would veer violently left and hit barrier or wall and completely ruin lap. my solution was to apply quick jab of brakes just before the brow of each hump so that wheels never loose contact with tarmac. a much more cautious approach seems to be paying off. :). so from my experience its affecting controller users as well. EDIT: and the little right-left just before the 1st tunnel is a royal pain in the butt. ive only got to have the right or left wheels touch the EDGE of the track for time to be invalidated, im taking extra caution here now to make sure im steering between the edges of track. Weird as most rest of track allows you to touch the edge without getting penalised.

Yeah it's a pain. The humps are ok for me with a wheel but I have to either jab the brakes before the crest or back off slightly. I think it's about keeping the weight balanced. I also have to be careful how much I smash the throttle :D

My wheel twitched on its own while I had the pc running before work today. I think its on its way out already... ill try a resinstall of the drivers and firmware. Otherwise its gonna be an RMA and rule me out of this track for the rest of the month I guess.

Hope it's nothing major. I had a dodgy wheel (known wiring issue) in my first one but the replacement has been rock solid. It occasionally likes to recalibrate itself if I leave it plugged in and not gaming. Everything else has been fine.


New lap :)

I love this track and car combo, it's just hit the throttle and hope you're pointed in the right direction.
