Proper job, mate!
The criteria for gold was to actually beat 2:36, but I'm not going to fail you on such a technicality, especially considering your safety rating was a whole 10 units higher than required. By downgrading safety to basic /w +1 quality I got the lap time to 2:35.67, which is closing in on the Platinum rank, and by tuning the engine a little for another 5 horsepower the lap time dropped to 2:35.21 which is not only enough for Platinum, but also torpedoes my record. Carrying over some of the suspension settings to my car I got it around the track in less than 2:35 without sacrificing any other qualities. So to summarize, my car had a better engine (okay, more powerful at least) while yours had a better suspension setup.

If anyone wants to control my lap times, you can find my car attached below:

I am surprised my suspension was the highlight of my car :-p I usually have pretty crude suspension

C'mon, Mr. Prato... time to cough up a challenge...

[nialloftara]

It's on page 15.

[VicVictory]

Whoops. So it is. In that case... did you bother to PM him to let him know it was ready?

Just shot him one!

[VicVictory]

Hermann!!!! You've only got 2 more days or we'll consider you as having forfeited.

[np1993]

I'll shoot him another message

[VicVictory]

OK, Hermann95 forfeits due to lack of response, which brings Round 1 to a close.

So it's time to start round two.

Here's the deal for between rounds:

Anyone who participated in round 1 who does NOT want to participate this time around, speak up that you want to be removed. (Due to Hermann never responding at all last time, he will automatically be removed. Rileybanks will also similarly be removed.)
Anyone who has not participate yet but wants to, now is the time to speak up.

Once the entry period expires (we'll give it a week), the order of participants will be randomized. Whoever goes first will do np1993's challenge (you may need to re-post it at that time, Mr. Prato). And then we will continue on down the fresh list in the same manner that we did in the last round: Issue challenge, respond, work the challenge, post completion, and issue the next challenge.

Let me reiterate: The name list on the first page is NOT yet randomized for order.

I would like to take part in round 2.

[HighOctaneLove]

I would like to bow out of round 2... I'm starting a new Univeristy degree and I'll be very busy soon

[nialloftara]

Bring it on! Can't wait for round two, better ramp up the difficulty.

[strop]

I say bring it! I'll be looking forward to something creative and quirky that pushes me in a different direction.

I really like the competition and I feel that even failure in these challenges leaves the participant a winner as you can only push yourself so far... I can't wait to see what happens and if I can I'll see if I can do the challenges myself (without ursurping the challenged party!) so that I can continue learning as well as helping to keep this thread alive
