I realised that, but it does show how slow most of us are.

Can we have a ruling that previous winners are excluded please? Ben doesn't need the credits as much as me.

I was thinking about that, hence the 2nd place prize. Maybe ben would stand down from the next challenge if he wins again?

I tried quite a few times, but cant improve, how the hell you guys have got down to 6:30 is beyond me.

Got my copy of Race Pro yesterday, as a sim it's way better than Forza but the online mode is pants. Have to return to the menu after each race and if the host decides to quit then it's race over for everyone!

My couple of attempts have put me in at about 7:30'ish (off the top of my head) I'm going to be nowhere near on this one but I'll have another bash after LOST tonight.. Well done Bri4n

There are some sweeping bends on this one that can be taken full speed if youre brave enough and makes up alot of time overall.

yeah the car is quite good and the downforce really makes a difference, the faster you go the better it grips.

Yeh, suprising amount of grip when u pin it round the bends, theres only a handful were you need to be hard on the brakes.
