Even though its his challenge can someone through it out to us all with it set up right. It'll be a pain setting it up each time.
I'm still trying to improve on last challenge in dying mins

I managed to improve my time by .024 but was still in third. If Stormy sees this, he can go to create an event and just use the lap he done earlier as it lets you chose your earlier races/trials. I sent a 24 hour drift challenge to everyone for something different. In the pitch dark with storms

I've given up on the black hills one. Managed to improve into the 1:13s, but really struggling with the car. I see E5 is motoring up the leaderboard atm. ( now 4th )

Maybe there'll be more things to scroll down the page? There's a similar icon if you click triangle and a little icon to scroll left and right between the Notifications and Session.

Well I've set it up now. Otherwise if we wait then we've lost a day and his previous events might've erased themselves from the create challenge list depending on what he's done since then, as it doesn't store many.

I ran the previous challenge to the death. Wondered if it let you complete a flying lap of you were on it but just days expired so don't think it would count. Couldn't improve my time even though I managed .3 ahead of lisa through first sector. I clipped grass on next which slowed me down too much.

You can't set exact start and finish times, so when I opened it originally at gone half 9 the other day, the timer will run out exactly 72 hours after it was set.

Awesome. I stayed in 2nd. Shame. I could well have beaten Lisa if I had more time. I was quite often nearly a second ahead after the first sector but kept ballsing it up at the next corner. If I got that one down I would have nailed it.

Still, ifs and buts and all that. Well done Lisa. I might get a whirl on the new one on Friday. I look forward to it.

The only thing I'm wondering. I had sound too low to hear but are there water effects on the sound? Could also do with a slight rumble jolt if you hit a large puddle of water.

Oh ok. I didn't realise we were sticking religiously to the ingame challenge system already.

Apparently we do - it's all done via an algorithm rather than truly random so the weather pattern is the exact same for all of us on that specific challenge.

Went for a spin earlier & in the space of 10 minutes there were blue skies, sleet, snow, rain, hail, thunder & lightning and strong winds. No, I wasn't playing with the dynamic weather & time lapse x60, I just went a drive 5 miles up the road to get a Greggs! Gotta love the Scottish weather...

Ooh. Do you know whereabouts the region in the game is based on? Is it West Coast?

I know Wester Ross is an area in the north west but can't remember the names of the other tracks just now but I'd imagine they'd all be up there too. Opposite end of the country from me

Ah ok, I know Edinburgh and Fife fairly well, but thought it looked more west-ish so that makes sense.

I'm in Troon and it's pretty wild just now, thankfully high tide has passed without too much incident...

Location of Wester Ross for those interested

It's a beautiful place, much like the rest of the Scottish Highlands and Islands.

I've heard of the names but thought the actual routes or tracks were made up ?
