Yeah brilliant choice NIKAZ, certainly a lot different from the focus

Good about not being able to tune it.. looks like we all start out on the same foot.

hey there was nothing wrong with the Focus. That Focus got me 3rd place!!!

Wedge · 9 Nov 2009 at 13:45

^^ agreed Focus has been the most fun so far for me

danswan · 9 Nov 2009 at 13:50

I would agree that the Focus was the most fun - it was also the one I was worst at! Looking forward to having a go at this one tonight

Lol i meant speed comparision, didnt say anything about it not being fun... I also enjoyed the focus

Well I'd have probably picked a shorter variant as you lose 2 minutes of time on your first lap but hey ho.

The car is an absolute beast. Handles really nicely. Quick first lap post just to set the bar but can see maybe 5+ seconds off this by the end of the week.

Almost tempted to do a reinstall just to get the first lap to count

bit faster, can still see sub 1:40 though. Quick tip, if you "cheat" and drive through two of the corners where there is a run off on the first lap, you might, just might get 3 proper laps in rather than 2 as I tend to run out of time just before the start of the 4th lap. Another tip is to pull hard right on the controls at the start of the race otherwise the game will put you in the dirt.

I backed up the shift folder in My docs and re-installed, got fed up losing that first lap.

Marine Iguana · 9 Nov 2009 at 16:59

Ahh lovely not the fastest but we have all week don't we

lewdogga · 9 Nov 2009 at 17:19

My first attempt, quite scruffy, know where i can improve on most turns.. just trying to keep the car steady with one hand

zytok · 9 Nov 2009 at 17:36

Getting towards the limit, still need to perfect one or two corners though.

lewdogga · 9 Nov 2009 at 17:47

Much better, getting there:

Marine Iguana · 9 Nov 2009 at 17:51

Getting better im sure that there is more time to be had but this was a bloody good lap if i say so myself
