I'm going to hand in my membership for the car club.
I haven't got around to pre-ordering it yet and with GTR2 out next week i'd like to get into that to start with.

Could I take your place?

My original request in the first thread about this game was overlooked

Cor! See that post about the size of the map?

Took someone 1hour 18mins to drive the Island Tour Challenge, driving at 220mph and having a few collisions! :eek:

That's some big gaming area to play with.

Was hoping it would take longer

Then again that chap must have been driving at full pelt too in his Audi TT.

Speaking of which. What do you all plan to do once you set foot on the island?

I think i'll familiarise myself with the interface/gps then just bomb around the island in my stock car

Road Trip!

Will probably try and find all of the major places including that mad motorway junction flyover thingy.

Oh yeah, that flyover looks quality!

Average report is coming back at around 15-20mins at full speed. That's in an almost straight line. Pretty good going.

Probably exactly what I did in the demo, go for a spin and pip a friendly "meep meep" at passers by!

Take in some sights, might have a picnic, would love to take a drive up on the mountain and see which property to buy (thinking of the city penthouse at the mo).

Magazine reviewer a while back said the coast takes up to an hour to get across i suppose will see when we get the game certainly huge map. Also i suppose it depends on what your driving and if you stick to the speed limits etc.

Also get a paper map with the game.
