The Street Scene race near Moorhead Wind Farm on the map, I think it's just below and to the right of the big letters. I'm not on the Xbox now and can't find a map image with the Street Scene races highlighted.

I’ve even set the filter on the map to only show the Street Scene races and I can’t see one on there which matches the name of this weeks challenge. Could it be that it might need to be unlocked? I haven’t done many Street Scene races.

Cracking time in the Mustang Hardware. I switched to the Vantage last night which seems to have slightly better legs than the viper but it can't match the Mustang, you pull ahead from the moment I get into 2nd gear but the gap then stays reasonably constant throughout.

I tried more power at the cost of Weight but it didn't seem to make any difference, just made my corner speeds a bit worse.

Thanks, so despite playing with the wrong car last night (not sure how I managed that) I really enjoyed the new race style and course. Think i'll try to find some more time to play this week. Seem to have fallen into a routine of play one session, get disheartened at my lousy time and don't bother again until theres a new challenge.

It’s by far one of the most fun cars in the game no matter what the power!

On a separate note this is a really fun week but also the most stressful week! Think I did about 30 attempts before getting a clean lap without a car appearing in the racing line in a corner

It's certainly not as bad as I feared, I normally hate Street racing on single player but that's generally because the unbeatable AI are pretty aggressive and often the lead car disappears, traffic seems worse in a real race too and there is often the weather to contend with too. I don't know why they can't do day time Street races sometimes as it would be a better experience.

Daytime street races would be a brilliant addition.

Appreciate the compliment - I tried a multitude of cars and for a laugh I thought I'd try the hot wheels mustang, turns out its really good!

I reckon there is another car on par with it but I haven't had the time to fine tune it yet, that is the E46 M3 GTR.

I've done the V8 engine swap (found the V10 way too nose heavy), 4WD conversion, race tyres, weight reduction, all the handling goodies and a tune to 888hp works well. It rinses the Mustang on the long straights but doesn't have the cornering finese, but I think a tweak on the diff and suspension would net a great time.

I'll have a proper go at the weekend with it but as I've said I'm taking a few days off from games as my work load has gone mental this week and I don't fancy staring at a screen getting frustrated by the traffic biggrin

Well if I don't get on this evening (not looking likely) I won't be on until Saturday night at the earliest so I'm not expecting I'll improve much ahead of Sunday.

I must say that the Porsches that I've tried have all been a bit disappointing.

ETA apparently an update is needed, which despite an excellent internet speed means I won't be on the game tonight. Why on earth are the update speeds so slow...

Ooh, I've got both of those so may give them a try, me, like others, are struggling for time this week and I'm way down after only doing two runs on auto laugh

Finally got on for an hour this evening with the BAC Mono. What a cracking bit of kit. It does lack a bit on the straights but still very enjoyable. I’m going to give this a go and also maybe try the Clio FE.
