have to change the rules for this as its pretty easy to cheat

simply go to tune up.....put the power up and the wieght down do ur lap time, go back to tune up and reset the defualt then take the photo

have to change the rules to allow full power and minimum wieght settings

Well no dont have to change the rules, the rules are as stated earlier and that is pretty much it, make it fairer to have only tyres being able to be changed else people will change their power up high and other wont

and as EFFalcon says, honestly plays a big part here

ok but there is always doubt if there is a way to cheat, takes away from the people who have set an honest time

for the record I set an 8:17.5 standard settings but with soft tyres

lol...
took 3 laps to get there, first was a 8:17
then i knocked it down to a 8:08.. the ghost helps so much.

i reckon a 17 is doable from me, i had a 3 second lead over my ghost car after about a 1/4 of the track, then i stuffed up :P

like this...


IMHO, their is no way known I would have got that time in a stock car... I just did the run to prove the point mentioned above. My best time in a stock car is about 8'06.000, nowhere near the one above, LOL.

I think it might be a good idea to alow for full power etc aswell, then we'll see who improves on their times and who doesnt. :eclipsee_

I don't see how you can run a 7:48s in a stock Typhoon.. We shall see I suppose.. the more you play the quicker you get. Then again I never thought I would run a sub 8 minute time myself..

i can see high 7 minute times, and i don't think it'd be that hard.
i think a 7:48 is possible..
