Gather all ye digital racers, and let The Hammer clear up all confusion
The additional challenge each week is a strictly optional one. As challenger, you have the option of adding something extra, or just keep it simple. The object is not to confuse or make admin harder, it's to keep things interesting and keeps the challenges from stagnating. The last thing I want is that week after week we just take the same cars or the fastest cars and race. It has its merits, but I want this to be fun.
So, the bonus challenge (I like that name more than Hard Mode, thanks [MENTION=385]diabolus[/MENTION]) will be absolutely optional. The leaderboard times are the only ones we will base any and all points on. So, at the end of the week, if your fastest time is set within the parameters of the bonus challenge, you will get 5 additional points. If you do a better time with another car based on the week's normal challenge, you will get the normal points. It's not to confuse or make things more complicated. The fastest time for the track for the class will still be the one you are awarded points on.
