So i did time trial tonight , cadwell park

Loaded the world record as a ghost

i kept coming off a lot, then managed to get a time in or 2, not that great

put my gloves on, then i hit a 1:41 (my previous best)



Then i loaded a few other ghosts to try, i wasn't getting any better, but then i decided to load the ghost who was the person above me, it was a high 1:39 (no 1:40s)
and i beat it, i did a 1:39 !!
