    This is a follow-up competition to "A Friendly Competition - Timetrial Around Dry Rock Island in the Covet Turbo Rally"

    - The circuit is the track you start nearby by default.
    - The start/finish line is defined as the purple transparent wall you drive through.
    - Counterclockwise direction.
    - At least three wheels must stay on the track at all times - if all four wheels leave the pavement, it's a DQ.
    - Can only use the Civetta Bolide.
    - Wrecks are ok - keep driving if you want.
    - Mention what input device you are using and if you have shift+b turned on.

    Here's my best run with a Logitech Momo... I'm calling it about 40.5 seconds just based on looking at the seconds tick by on my video player. I gave it about two dozen laps last night and another dozen tonight before I was finally capable of regularly running around the track without spilling off of it or spinning 360's. The Bolide is a devil of a car to drive!

    Now that we are actually racing, the times might get really close to each other and a video or in-game timer might come handy.

    I'll give this a try asap.
    Only the default configuration is allowed, right?

    Hey, did you watch mine?? :D

    Hopefully, the upcoming tire model changes will make driving this car a bit easier...

    Yours looks very clean.

    I'll give this another shot after I have finished Coovargos Challenges, and made another go at "Unintended acceleration" since my record there was broken.
