    I only really play the BMW 320 STi course, because I'm having such a blast. Currently achieving 1:18.8x on a good lap (online).

    Anyone ??

    :D

    I didn't bother with a screenshot for my 1:18.8x thread opener, because I 'm expecting it to be thrashed :p

    But if we get claims knocking several seconds off, I think we're gonna have to demand some graphical evidence to substanciate such ridiculous claims :D

    Eleron911 ?? - U there ?

    I took the SS a little late as the game was fading out. I know for sure I could do better on an empty track.

    You can access the other cars seen in the game by renaming the respective cars in the cars directory.

    To switch the bmw with the charger, rename all instances of "cha" to "bmw" (the folder and the files in it), (make sure to backup before hand), and vice-versa. The charger seems to be much more durable than the other cars.

    You can also change the weight, horsepower, etc for the cars by editing the car's .csv file. So far I got that the first number is the weight, and that the horsepower is the 14th number.
