In theory sounds good, but i don't think it'd work because we don't have the same number of players in each challenge.

e.g. You win a challenge in one where there are 22 players, then you get 22 points.

Say I beat you in a challenge (unlikely I know, but bear with me) that there are only 6 players in - then I only get 6 points? no thanks - if anyone manages to beat one of your times they shouldn't be penalised purely due to the number of players in that challenge.

I think something like OMTT's suggestion, but maybe scoring points down to 15th place?
Hmm yeah good point! I was trying to think of a way to minimise the backmarker F1 maths with who's the best of the zeros Caterham/Marussia style.

What if the top 25 people gets points. That should include everyone, and in the event there was only 6 participants, the winner still gets what they deserve.
This gets my vote.

I put Minecraft on when the times and leaderboards were having problems at the weekend... Big mistake

Hopefully the next challenge will draw me back to the game.

I think that sounds the best idea so far.

You could play a handicap system where I get -10 on Lisa and Ian.

Seriously though. Wish they'd introduce the next person above you ghost in the challenges. Gives you something to chase down. I understand why it's best as that's the challenge but still....

We'll all get -10 on Lisa

I'd like those ghosts too. The one directly in front of you on the leaderboard would be the best.

Yeah, 3 days. Easiest way is to send it to anyone on your list who's not showing as level 1, but anyone that doesn't get it will soon ask so don't worry if you miss someone. Just post on here so that we all know it's been sent.

Looking forward to it.

My dodgy colour schemes are great. I'm sure the others in DS3 are glad I'm not in charge though.

Japan DLC drops tomorrow. Maybe there'll be a new livery I like that I can put my 'unique' twist on.

The new tours are now available. Still to get all stars in the previous 2 though

Thanks, I'll give a try just now.

I tried to play an event on the new Apex Tour. It used the Enzo Ferrarri, which is included in the DLC but when I try the event, it's telling me that I need to purchase it from the store. I click ok to take me to the store but it's already bought

It's a known issue and is to do with the PS Store. They are working in it.

I've had this happen to me before. IIRC it worked after turning the console off and then booting up again.

Won't make any difference. As I said above, it's an issue with the EU PS Store. They are aware of the issue and working to fix it.

Interesting challenge this one.

It's a very complex track, but the car handles really good. There's still plenty of corners where time can be lost (or gained). It's taken me a nice few tries to get a respectable lap in (and by that I mean a 4th place lap).
