I've had a few goes, but kept crashing into the walls, so havent recorded the times yet....

That hairpin bend halfway through the course is a bit tricky....

You can get some decent times, its not hitting anything which is the problem, the essence of rallying is sliding it round corners, but obviously with this the occasional bump is expected!

Indeed. was more for the circuit tracks we werent counting times done with collisions etc, bouncing off of walls, just use your common sense, if you would have written the car off dont count the time, if you would have lost a bumper on a rally car, well, such is life and thats ok.

Spent an hour or so yesterday afternoon, is there any way to turn OFF the ghost car?

I find it distracting at times

very good time!

You can turn off the ghost car by pressing the "up" directional button

I reckon there is upto another second in the lap too, I just can't get the double hairpin right, end up hitting either an inside or outside wall, which slows the car massively, at which point the ghost car passes me .... rest of the track is fine.

Well, just sat and did about 20 laps there and my best time is 1:08.159, about to have a few shandies so doubt I'll better that before midnight, very impressive with the 1:06,

Stick a pick of the time up tonight and it looks like you'll be winning this one and picking next weeks track unless one of the others beats your time.
