    I wanted to create a bit of friendly competition, so i though a race thread before the update comes out to get us ready.

    Each week on tuesday ill post a vehicle mod and a track. some times a track like laguna seca and other times a made up track which will be demonstrate via video.
    You are not aloud to mod the vehicle must be stock. Also people making up ridiculous times if your wish is to troll and ruin go ahead but id rather not see this.


    This weeks challenge to start with something fun!
    Vehicle - Gavril-D-Bird-3-Wheeler
    Track - Autodromo-Nazionale-Monza-1988

    record your time and post your fastest lap bellow.
    Good luck !!:p

    I'll do it tomorrow. I will also record and upload it to youtube as proof (and for fun too ;)) with some added crashes that will happen for sure with that car :cool:

    Edit: I'll try to add a timer to the video.

    I managed a 3:49.9, but cut a couple corners due to mountains of understeer!

    After a few attempts of trying to record a lap, i managed a matching time, but took about 3 tries, kept getting slower and slower! might upload the video if i can be bothered

    3:41! But I think I should try again, I may have cut a corner..



    3:43 properly, no major corner cutting this time!




    Just did a 3:32 without stabilisers!
    3:15 with stabilisers and LSD.

    Thanks, I am going to try and beat that lap time today! Wish me luck!

    You ought to say no stabilisers, especially since the latest version of the D-bird has stabilisers.
