The gymkhana one is unlocked throughout the game. It’s been a seasonal reward a few times it seems. I can’t even remember getting it. This is the first time I’ve used it, was just trying things that’d seem pointy and no an understeering van/pickup in S1.

Thanks, and apologies, I wasn't criticising, but having had a quick look at the stats online, it's handling of 8.2? On such a tight circuit, is likely to be why it appears a little faster, I'm not great at this track I'll admit, but I'm currently the fastest in the RX43 and I'm only 7th, everyone above is in the hoonigan, with the top runners a second faster.

Those without the hoonigan are unlikely to be able to compete for the top positions.

Equally, I accept that I'm rubbish at this track so it could just be me!

Mass Effect, the greatest gaming trilogy ever made.

Think Speed12 is right on this one. Going to be difficult for those of us stuck with the GRC as our only choice to compete unfortunately. Will keep trying though as I was doing well until everyone found the faster car!

Ah yes, I've not played it myself but my friend has always spoken very highly of it.

Perhaps I should look into it.

I played all 3 games as Femshep (voiced by the excellent Jennifer Hale) in one go relatively spoiler free; easily the best gaming experience I've had. Hence I decided to redo it as it's been a few years.

Although I'm obviously playing the first one with a load of texture mods, as it came out in 2007.

It also has the benefit of the choices you make, whilst being difficult, seemingly easier than choosing a car for a Forza challenge.

Thanks, unfortunately I only have Xbox so it may be a bit of an issue playing the original. Although a completely different proposition I played RDR2 last year which was my first go at a major story/free roam type of game and got completely engrossed (think the game timer suggested I'd spent 18 full days overall!).

Traditionally I've been a massive halo fan and have played all several times through, it's helped that Microsoft have launched the master chief edition with improved graphics of course.

Glad you also don't count the 4th one (Andromeda) as part of the proper Mass Effect franchise - what a pile poo that was. Almost as bad as Fallout 76.

from where are people getting the Hoonigan Gymkhana 10 2017 Fiesta? O the auction house I can't find any, only a Hoonigan Gymkhana 10 Focus... it's not that right? Is it just the case that there are none on the auction house? (I can't even find it as a listed model to search for in the auction house...). Getting bit fed up with the other one (not the one that costs £15) just watching the other car going ever so slightly faster through every apex!

Yeah, that game suffered from development hell and creative bankruptcy / scared of their own community in continuing on from 3. Shame really as there were a few good ideas in there.

I don't think I will be investing much more time in this weeks challenge, I had a quick go during my lunch break today and I'm sorry but even with rewinds etc that RX43 just cannot compete with the Hoonigan car, if the Hoonigan car has stock handling of 8.2 (vs 7.9 for the RX43) then what is it when its been modified up to 885? This track is very grip dependant, I lose so much time on the final last right hander.

Appreciate it is for fun and the points are worthless but I do like to be competitive., at this rate I'll be lucky to stay in the top 10.

I have to be honest I never look at any of the stats so I’ve got no idea, just jumped in and went straight to the event.
I think in future the only thing we can do is try and ensure we can all access the cars that aren’t locked away or previous prizes that are no longer attainable.

I don't have the Hoonigan Fiesta mad

Guess it'll be frowned upon to upgrade the RX43 to have the same handing stats?
