This is insane! The car spins out when you try to drive like you normally would on dirt regardless of your gear selection. In third or higher, the engine bogs and inertia carries the back of the car past the front, and in second, wheelspin causes a traction loss that produces the same result. As a consequence, the time that any of us will achieve will be a monumental amount slower than the time the car can do. I have splits, though (and yes, they do all end in 0!):

28.390 - 51.000 - 1'12.530

Please hold submissions to around 1 PM GMT, I need to empty my PM inbox and am about to call it a night.

EDIT: Submissions welcome, deadline extended until tomorrow.

I may have to give this a go, going to be tricky with the wheel though!

Go ahead, I won't start the next round until after Thanksgiving, so I'll take submissions until then

I am most terrible sorry I have missed this entirely, I did not realise this had started up again.

I normally keep an eye out for the thread title but somehow totally missed noticing.

I will bang out a few laps tonight on the off chance I can still enter a time.


Edit - Funnily enough, of all the rounds so far this is the one I have enjoyed the most.
Probably because at least on dirt you have half a chance of controlling a slide without going into terminal snap oversteer.
A nice wide track do not hurt either !!!

Times submitted.
