Yes, sign me up
No thank you
Thanks Hammer! I did figure out how to do the rivals one in the end. I read the OP looking for clues as to how to get to the challenge, but is wasn't mentioned, probably because no one else is a newbie
I also didn't know about the no mods rule, so I'll have to remove the one mod I have on.
I have no idea how people are driving without TCS and STM on, I tried that and I missed the apex of every single corner and couldn't get speed out of the corner. I'm so gonna plug in my keyboard and race with that![]()
Just a quick thought about excluding Dirty Laps from our points leaderboard in an effort to keep folks interested.
From what I understand, the game will always rank dirty laps below clean laps, no matter what the time. A 2 min clean lap will automatically be ranked above a 1 min dirty lap.
If that's correct, why not include dirty laps posted in the challenge points? Like in the Week 2 board here (http://mygaming.co.za/forum/showthre...39#post1201039) Templar and Neon both have times on the board, but are dirty so presumably didn't score points. I don't know how much effort they put into those laps, but they did put up a time.
Sort of like in racing even if the car doesn't get to the finish line, if it's done enough it is still classified.
Just a thought.

It is true, dirty laps will always be ranked lower than clean laps, regardless of time. The objective of this is to ensure people do not get an unfair advantage from driving off of the track. There are many corners that it is possible to cut the corner and shave off large portions of your lap time, but it will mean you have to go outside of the borders of the track. The game will always mark anytime more than 50% of your car leaves the track as dirty. If you do this, you may run the risk of unfairly gaining time on other competitors. This is the reason why this rule has been set in every single track racing event around the world. You simply cannot cut corners, that's the rule.
I do hear what you are saying, but there is a very good reason why there is a distinction between clean and dirty laps. It's also the reason why we only take clean laps into consideration. If you are unable to keep within the confines of the track for a particular challenge, you cannot be judged higher than someone that managed to stay on the track.
Agreed. How will you distinguish between a guy that had cut a corner with the edge of his Tyre, and a guy that skipped a whole corner?
As in racing, when you get an by braking a rule on the track, you get black flagged. It is strange for me that they even post the dirty laps on the Leader boards at all.
Makes sense. I didn't figure on anyone purposely cutting every corner, using every available mod, etc. just to get to be the best of the dirty laps. Not that anyone here would do that I'm sure. Clean laps only it is.
