How about we call it a 3 way tie Claymore and gillyallen ???

I kid. Ian won the week anyway so it doesn't matter too much where we placed.

Yeah I'm not bothered just hopefully the servers improve

Hmm I'm not so hot on this new challenge. It's a very small track, and my problems lies at the first turn I think. Ian is already a second up on me by the first checkpoint, which is only 12 seconds into the race (or 11 for him). I don't think I'm carrying enough speed out of the final corners as when I pass the finish line, the ghosts are instantly zooming past.

I'm going to spend a lot of time on this one.

It'll come good yufie it always does. All at work so yet to try myself

I had a couple of laps this morning before work. The trick to the first corner seemed to be for me (thanks to Lisa's ghost!) to brake early and maintain speed through corners with just a slight dab of the brakes if required with harder acceleration for the final corner. In theory this should (!) work...

Not keen on this car, but definitely a challenge and I like the fact that a short track so at least if I muck up not long to come back around!

Hopefully spend some time on it later this evening.

December now and no word of the PS+ edition. How broke is this game if we're still waiting on it.

It's working well. Missing in-game challenges and dynamic weather from the expected launch, but sure they will be here sooner or later. Multiplayer is working, although tweaks needed to match making to get it quicker and more stable.

Overall, the dynamics of the cars, and sheer fun factor are spot on, the game engine works well, just needs some extra features including private lobbies to make it really fly.

Unfortunately it seems to be acceptable to software companies to release unfinished products just now, GTA 5 being a good example. Hopefully this will cease soon as fed up patching games with a very slow connection!

As above, the game is working pretty well overall.

But, releasing the PS+ version will open the floodgates to millions of potential new players signing in. They aren't going to do that until they are certain the servers will cope. They can't afford to piss off us paying customers all over again.

Ouch tried the new challenge via ps vita on remote play. Too hard for me that way. Need to wait till they all bugger off the tv to get on proper.

Well done Ian. I was watching a film on Movietube (lone survivor) but before turning off I loaded up leaderboards and see you've claimed no.1 from some random. Nice one.

I've def got more time in me but amazed how consistent some of you are.

I'll be able to give this a right go tomorrow. Currently watching Frozen on movie tube. It's actually pretty good. Ahem ... Anyway .... I'll kick some ass tomoro.

I keep losing a couple 100ths of a second in the second part, the large yellow corner

Thanks for that!

It was the result of 5 or 6 good laps in a row, sounds corny but you get into a rhythm.

Good luck! There is definitely some more time in that track

Got to add, can't wait for the Club Challenges and Private Lobbies, how much fun are we all going to have racing in the same race at the same time

No dogems now!!

Hopefully they'll all come along with the weather update which can only be couple of weeks away now

Mwa hah hah hah.

The only tactic I have is to smash you, Lisa, and E5onAmp off the road. Then I'm gonna smack Claymore just for the fun of it.

Got to catch us first Yuffie!

So much for friendly racing! Guess I'll just have to put you into a wall first Yuffie!

Based on what we've been doing, this is what I'd like to see in the challenges:
- pick an event and vehicle
- set an end time
- set a time limit - practice as much as you want, but once you start the challenge you've only got ( say) 2 hours to set your best time
- notifications if your time is beaten
- notification of results
- tournaments - collection of events with points and tournament leaderboards

I'm hoping for some extreme challenges. Worst weather possible and see how we go.

I like the idea of a time limit. They should give the option to implement a 'hot lap' where you have one go at beating a time. It would be interesting to see how good people are under pressure. I'm pretty sure I'd be rubbish 😳

Nope. You'll slow down on the first corner and I won't. I may take myself out on the first corner but I won't go alone.

I kid. I'll play nice .... Maybe ....

Got the final star I needed to complete the photo finish tour 😄

Good thing with this short challenge track is there's a lot of xp to pick up.

The driftiness of the car adds a lot to the xp too.

I dont get how it moves the face offs around. I came back on to beat an average time on a particular corner and this time it wasn't there. It was mainly diving line this time. Suppose it adds a bit of variety but I wanted to do that other one.

Anyway. Added another 192000 to the club while failing to gain anything on Denzil
