Yeah It's a pain in the arris grinding laps out, then total joy when you bank a good clean lap.

I'm annoyed with myself, barely touched the wall on exit of the dirt hairpin and set a flagged time around 2 car lengths ahead of the current one.

The new electric car is in this weeks rivals challenge also. Handy way to get a pic. Cheers.
Yep and it's coming as a seasonal prize in the next few weeks too, I found it a real bugger to win the Peugeot 207 S2000 this week, tried an RS200, Fiesta and finally a Focus Hoonigan to win it, but I've never really enjoyed the Cross Country series.

Good call on using the super 7s. Bit gutted there's no real payback/prizes for maxing the photos out though.

I spent an hour trying to replicate your line through the first corner without smashing into the wall and failed rofl

Just managed to get on for half an hour & bagged the second quickest time. Haven’t been this high up on the leaderboard before at this stage of the week. Hopefully enough to secure a top10 as I won’t get on again this week!

Thats a beauty of a time. You're definitely safe for top 10, in fact probably way better than that.

I’m struggling to be consistent this week. I hit the barrier on the exit of turn 1 about 30% of the time laugh and on the laps where i get it right, i hit the wall on the dirt to road transition.

P.s. I made sure to ‘like’ your tune. Thought it was the least I could do after i lapped 0.002 secs faster than you yesterday afternoon laugh Don’t know how you managed it, but it drives much nicer than my efforts beer

Thats ace to hear, and killer time so far. This week is going to be close especially if there's any sandbagging going on. laugh

I've just done 45 minutes and got into the 17s, I can stay with speed12 until the hairpin and then he eeks away.
Don't know if I've got much left laugh and don't know if that'll be enough for a point, unlikely but I've given this week more of a go than most.

For those who play the game single player - The Trial this week involves the Goliath as the final circuit, so pray you've got a decent team alongside you.

Build a lotus that can stretch its legs, don't use the 340r, I used an elite but it didn't have the speed so I came 3rd but we'd already won the first two races anyway.

I'm in the 17s now, but tonight I've had the really annoying knack of getting a better time that's about 0.05 behind the next time and going again to try beating that one. Trying to go better again and I can't get in the 17s again, it must be a 1 lap in 50 thing for doing a decent time hehe .

Unless you've gone faster in the last half hour or so, I'm 0.05 behind you.

Can't get anywhere near my own time let alone improve. Just cannot seem to get the right set up with this one.
