I got a 52.03 in the R500, sub 50 sec is out of the question I think

I would say the R500 has a lap of around 49.5 seconds in it, quicker again in the Noble as shown on the leaderboards.
Here's the updated table...

Really beats me how all of the best times have been set with the Noble, it doesn't seem to have enough grip.

I think it may be a little forgiving towards certain driving styles, I know I can lap quicker (atm) in the Q1 than the R500 (although that may change if I can get anywhere near the TV/Xbox over the next few days... The wii is proving too addictive!)

i found with the noble you have to be on the brakes a bit sooner, but its got good downforce to keep your speed up and then a slightly better acceleration to chuck you out of the corner. I havent used the Q1 since i set my fastest lap, there was absolutely no way i could have bettered it, im concentrating my efforts on other cars now, i know i can do a faster lap and m only 3 tenths off beating it but its proving tricky!

Yeah I've got to say it's an inspired choice of track. Takes a very long time to perfect the corners, that first corner can be a bitch. So frustrating when you cock up your lap so early and there's no retry option

Is there a way of turning the ghost off completely? I find it really frustrating.

And I think the tracking's out on my R500, all over the place. Feels like a woman's been practising parallel parking in it for hours next to a massive kerb.. biggrin

Pretty chuffed with my effort, although i'm sure i can go quicker. Initially i tried the Sledgehammer, then the M1 and even the Speed Triple but the Q1 appears to have the edge.

p.s - Don't forget to upload your ghosts!

Not online with my 360 still, but have been trying this anyway to see how I fare. I must say this track is extremely challenging, I find the corner at the top of the hill the worst, when you get it right it's awesome but a few mm out and your in the wall!!.

My best time so far is 52.48 in the R500, so not quite there yet. I am definately going to sort out my gold membership though so I can join in on the fun.

Mat, you only need silver to post times to the leaderboards, I'm not on gold myself..

Plug it in and away you go!

That table needs updating, I whacked in a 51.7 in the R500 last night after what seemed like hundreds of frustrating laps smile

I'd do it myself but don't know the easy way of checking everyones times.

As long as all of the participants are in your friends list, dive onto www.pgrnations.com

I'll be doing a fully updated sheet at close of the challenge on Sunday @ 2200
