Amazing time by Sp4ce!

Seems like the GTA is the car to have, I tried the Maserati, it should have been decent based on the specs but I couldn't get close to my own GTA time. Shame though.
You won't believe how stubborn I'm going to be trying to get that maserati go fast, just on a point of principle!

There have been times i've underestimated a car because i couldn't gel with it or tune it correctly only to then get smashed by someone else using it, so i have faith you can do good things with it.

Lol I wish you success, I will try again too and may try a few other cars through the week, and will use what time I have on Saturday to try and get higher up if I can

Anyone else had this problem? You beat your ghost but choose continue lapping, then it forgets your new time when you exit at the end. irked

Guess it means if you can do it again its not a fluke lap.

No but I have clicked restart by accident a few times in the past which is really annoying of you've managed a decent time!

Yup! Did that on the (Aston?) Cross Country round a few months ago

Currently got a new problem with my own ghost not showing - Usually chase myself rather then someone faster, but for some reason the last couple of days I can't see myself!

Other peoples ghosts are fine though.

That Aston one was the first challenge i joined in on. It was hard enough to set a clean lap without that issue.

The ghost thing is new to me, are you PC or console?

PC - Don't think it's been updated for a while though, keep cancelling it as it tries to download through the work VPN laugh

Haha, i take my laptop offshore with me so i can borrow some bandwidth when there's quiet time in the control van between jobs (sometimes hours/whole shifts) Thankfully the rig/ship always gives us our own private connection so i don't have to go through the business VPN.

What are people doing with the Alfa? My current time is power and sliding erratically down the dirt section hehe

Instead of the long setup spiel, have shared my tune.

The only issue I get on PC is the rewind not working on occasion.

Went with a different setup on the GTA and it's no longer an oversteery mess, and it's a bit quicker. I think I can get more out of it too, but not tonight.

Season 3
Round 10 of 16
Lakehurst Woodland Scramble (Dirt), Rare Classics, A730, Any Mods, Any Assists

As of 23:45:



Top ten above Blue line. Second to choose next week.

Maserati just didn't have the power. Still, I've rediscovered Horizon Zero Dawn today (which i stopped playing for some reason) and had forgot how good it is. Although this bit made me remember this weeks challenge:



Felt like I was having a conversation with the usual suspects hehe

fk me I’m in the top ten ! Won’t be there for long I don’t think. I did a dirty low 1.17 earlier but I couldn’t get close to it afterwards. This week is brilliant.

I second Sp4ce, get back in your Maserati! Lol.

I must confess I'm not sure where to find half a second to catch up with Sp4ce confused

The graphics on that game cutscene look excellent.
