That list of tracks and times is unmanageable IMO. There's leaderboards in the game, why replicate?
Yeah, good point, don’t suppose people will fill in a table on here if everything is already on game leaderboards, so probably not worth doing...shame you can’t set up a ‘team’ (in the same context as GTA crews) so that there’s not a reliance on everyone being on each other’s friends lists. Don’t think the community functionality works in that way

The repetition of "make you look bad" was weird.

I also like the fact the AI ignores the content of these videos.

After doing about half the driving school tests and completing the brands hatch experience I spotted the videos which are really good and useful. Its all about control, being smooth and not over the top.

So far I am enjoying sport mode in the races I have done no one has been out to wreck each other as you always had at least one idiot per server in asset who would be out to spoil. However the races seem short and as every on the console there are very little good lucks, good race pleasant type chat just everyone quitting and on to the next thing.

I really struggled to point and steer the civic to any sort of passable time on brands hope I can make other FWD cars work.
I agree definitely watch the videos, I've finding the difficultly of the driving tests pretty variable rather than progressively increasing difficulty. On a few I get gold in first couple of run, others it's taking 10/20/30 attempts. Shaving a few tenths of each run. The low speed corners in a low speed car, where it is all about minimising the scrub off of speed are the ones I'm finding hardest.

I've scatter gunned the rest of game and these are the things I've discovered, your mileage may vary.

Arcade races with a slow car to get the feel of the controls and earn various money and experience bonus that can be spent opening options.
The campaign challenges, driving school, races, missions; I found these didn't really give me the chance to get into the zone.

The bonus Car for all Gold on the Beginners Driving lessons was a second Evo, I already had one from elsewhere in from bonus pack.

Do a few novice races after doing the Beginners Driving lessons.

Custom races are a good way to get practice time and you earn mileage bonus.

Perhaps the way to do this, is quasi news style. If somebody breaks a track record, they get bragging rights to post the new track record here along with the details and a car picture.

That's all well and good once the limits have been near enough explored, otherwise people will be posting pics all day long.
Personally I will only use the in game league tables, there's no point trying to keep one up to date on here too.

A couple of design challenges.

1) Custom Piston Heads logos in game ready SVG. We can use them as decals when that becomes possible.
2) A full Piston Heads themed livery, bonus bragging rights if you can work in whoosh parrot or other PH memes into the theme.

Who's going to do a lawn mower museum sponsored livery? laugh

This is my latest effort, a quick ten minute mess around after the racing last night turned into 3 hours....
I wanted to try to create a nice clean uncluttered classic style Beetle, and came up with the Surf's Up! edition.
The top stripe was an absolute nightmare on the front wings

There are already PH logos in SVG/Vector format, a quick google finds them (It was the first thing I did when I read about the SVG uploader!)
I will be trying to make a PH livery of some sort, but most likely will put some subtle PH logos on other liveries.
A Birds custard one should be pretty straight forward I would have thought, I'll give one a go

Picked this up today and i'm enjoying the cleaner racing with randoms which annoyed me in other titles where if you were quicker they would just ram you.

What's peoples thoughts on this with the VR headset ?

I had a quick look through the posts but didn't see anyone mention it.

I may opt for a PS4 pro plus the VR bundle including GT sport if it gets the thumbs up.

Sounds like its a 1 on 1 for a few laps with the AI.

Decided not to buy anymore cars as the last two 'daily' cars have been two of only 3 I've bought and you can't sell them, only discard them.

And has anyone been given that stupidly insane electric Chaparell concept thing, when the loading screen came on I thought the game had developed an audio fault, reminded me of an old escort I had when the bottom end went.

Don’t seem to be able to create a lobby - it tries to load it, and then goes back to main menu - there are other lobbies available to join on the main menu so other people must be able to create them....this game is weird at times. Also when searching the pheads liveries I get a different list each time, dunno why it doesn’t just show them all...

I screen grab then as they are 'exposing', share them to Facebook with settings to me only and save from there. So much quicker.
