you can just hit start and then restart.

i had to turn on the skid recovery thing. helped a lot. also for anyone that doesn't know, the ghost in that is Loeb driving. i had always wondered what that ghost was.

Oh I beat the Loeb challenge with Gold's pretty easily. The first race I won Gold the first time. The other ones took 2 or 3 tries to complete it with Gold. That was with the controller. I'm talking about the rally school you enter at level 20. The third branch of the early Rally. 8 stages!!! I don't have time for 8 stages. It takes too long to complete. When I have the time, I'll do it. It took me over 40 minutes to complete the Dirt/Gravel leg and a total time of about an hour by the time I got my car from the garage, entered the race and then collected my money. I normally have barely an hour to play at a time and those times are spaced way out. Hard to race with a 9 month old that wants to come in and play with the treadmill while I'm racing.

The license tests will just be more fun with the wheel. I don't feel like going through them now getting either silver or Bronze just to go back and redo them for Gold. Would rather just get Gold's now and get it over with.

The only Gold's I really haven't gotten are the AMG challenges. I don't like that they don't give you enough split times to know if you are going faster than before or not on the Ring. Or where you are losing more time at. I have a hard time judging it. But I'll be smoother with a wheel (hopefully) and I'll go back and try again.

the lack of split times **** me off too. i attempt to remember the sector times. not going for gold on those, just too time consuming and i lack the ability needed to get gold as well.

Eh, they need to fix the co-driver. I just did a rally challenge and he was off his pace notes and missed a couple or was late in his calls. Messed me up.

It's best if you just ignore him and watch the map and shift indicator instead. Co-driver is borked.

For those looking for them, The GT-R, KPGC10 and 110 are up for sale after the update in the online dealership. 56,000 for the 10 and 70,000 for the 110. The downside is they are listed as standard models.

no way the shift indicator is a gear too slow

Pace notes have the right gear, but like the welsh wizzard (nicky grist) he is slow

Some one post up my ralley pics from last night
