Lol, I got through all of the model missions, all of the offline races, all of the speed camera and 3 away from all of the time trials before I needed to turn it on, not bad for me 
Just have to do the 2 long time trials and the dreaded Tantalus, then only the parcel delivery and male hitchhikers to complete all offline challenges.

LoL, I got my Ferrari Enzo Stage 3 for $1000! Was well chuffed!
Hmmm ... Atari might have a lawsuit against them soon 
Tantalus is driving me nuts, and several times the controller has gone flyng across the room, its just ridiculous
It seems you have to have a lot of luck with the way the traffic falls or you haven't a hope.
And why is it at times the briefest toch on the roadside will knock 15 pts off, when most times its just 1 or 2, likewise you squeeze between 2 cars, lightly knocking a mirror, and bang, -20 pts ... the same as a head-on
At this rate I will be supplying free beer for an evening to anyone that can come round and do it

Yep, remember that track. It took me a good 10 or so tries. mY only advice would be go for control and forget about speed. If you've lost half of your points before u get to the end of the hill, restart. once you get past the mountain bit/winding roads the course isn't that hard really.
I used the enzo and was constantly a good 5 seconds off the time required.
10 tries lol .. if only.
It doesn't work for me .. keep it all under control and way too slow.
I have found I have to take risks and hope nothings coming ... I tend just to restart if I collect more than -25 pts before I get off the mountain .. and need to hit the crossroads at the bottom of the mountains around 3.30 max.
I seem to do my best times with a stage 3 CCR, or the Merc DTM.
I tried most other things but they work best ... probably more consistant in the merc though.
I just seem to get screwed by the traffic most times
I did one run just 0.60 off gold with the CCR (and lotsa points off) ... I think it was the first run with the CCR, havent got that close since

Use the enzo stage 3 tuned. It has the best brakes in the game and comes near the top for handling/acceleration. This is car that worked best for me as i could accelerate into a corner and stop pretty much straight away. Don't hold acclerate for too long either as it is a powerful car, use short controller bursts and ALWAYS have you finger on the brake, as you need to use it loads on this monster of a course.
If you make it down to the bottom and only loose 25 pts i would considor that pretty good tbh. I wouldn't even look at the clock either, just concentrate on driving without losing points. The second half the course defo isn't as hard.
