....It appears not Tim, so you take the honours again. I will work out the points over the weekend and post up a table of rankings so far.
What car and track you choosing this week Tim?

Ok, this week we'll be driving round the Deep forest Raceway REVERSE
in a BMW M3 GTR (450bhp and 1215Kg after the quick tune)

just got back home so only done a few laps, best one was 1.22.928

not a particularly tricky one this time I think...

have fun!

Nice choice Tim but the idea is that you play without the memory card loaded and use the default tracks and cars. That way it's a level playing field as not everyone has won that car and track in arcade mode.

Choose one tonight and well run this one right round until next week. I have now finished fitting my kitchen and tiling it so I should be able to devote more time to Playstation chores!!! (It's not easy with a cranky pregnant wife you know!)

Ahh, dammit, I never noticed my time being beaten for the RUF as I have not had internet access due to the laptop being in the PC shop at the moment. Using the chance of jumping on my mums PC while I'm visiting lol.

I'll get the pic posted for my 2nd place spot in the RUF if required, it's on the camera just now and as soon as possible I'll log in and see what this weeks challenge is. I'm on holiday so will have plenty of time to practice lol.

ok,
The track is El Capitan (normal)
and the car is the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Rally car
Has around 415bhp after tuning, but only weighs about
850kg so its quite nippy

Best time after a few laps was 1.41.458

watch out for spinning backwards into the wall on the
right hander soon after the tunnel (I did the first 3 laps)

Hmm, apparently I have deleted the pic of my RUF time for 2nd place from the memory card in the camera.

If you don't want to award 2nd place due to the lack of pic for my time thats ok, no worries.

on with the pug challenge now then that I have internet access again lol

Well I'm happy for a time with no pic to be counted :-)

Just trying to find my one from last at the moment - I know its on my computer at work
somewhere...

What do you think of the peugeot? I was trying all sorts of cars on that circuit last night - Fiat Coupe Turbo, Mercedes E55 AMG, Clio V6, Jensen Interceptor. In the end I went for the peugeot because we havent had a 4wd so far
