PGR 2 Time Trial:
Begins: May 14, 2004 (today!)
Ends: May 22, 2004, 12:01 a.m. : Car: Mini Cooper Driver: :23.799 Coopasonic: :23.868 Chaz: :24.369 Happydog: :24.567 Tebunker: :24.766 Devil: :24.834 daszo: :25.084 Thin_J: :25.717 SimonGG: :26.599 Let me know if your time is listed incorrectly or missing from the list. (CMR04 is much easier to read scroes from, I'll tell you that.) ___________________________________ Hello!  Before Stage 03 launches in the Colin McRae time trials, I thought we could do a nice ol' PGR 2 time trial. This one will be car specific. We do the time trial tracks that are mated to the cars in the Time Trials section of the game. Consistency is everything. The trick is (and I'll be doing this for the Colin McRae time trials too) that once the car is decided upon, if a player already has a time posted he must beat that time to qualify. That way you can't live of the glory of your past time postings. Sound fair? Is anyone interested? (Thanks Devil!)

I could be in for this one (CMR has taken a back seat right now).
Mini's. Done :lol:
Wow - That was quick! I figured the Mini would work because everyone has it and has probably used it!

I'll give it a whirl tonight. It's cool that you picked the mini instead of one of the higher cars, as I really don't have much of anything unlocked at all so far.

I've got a few days off after working some really long hours, so hopefully I'll be able to post some PGR and CMR4 times.
However, I also need to catch up on other games, since last week I got TOCA 2, tomorrow I should have Rallisport 2 arriving, and my CoH character is seriously lagging behind.
Oh yeah, I've also got some friends I haven't seen in a while...

Haven't played PGR2 in a while, we'll see what I can do.  25.466 Not even in the same league! On the plus side it was faster than everyone in my friends list except Driver. 24.434 now, definitely improving... |

Ok, so I meant to give it a try yesterday and managed to do a whole lot of falling asleep before I ever turned on the Xbox.
At the very latest I'm off work tomorrow, and I can run through it then.

Done, with a time of 25.717.
Not great by any means, but oh well. I must've run that course for ages. Ended up getting progressively worse as time went on, so I gave up.

I'm glad you guys are all into this. I haven't been able to update the time posts but will try to do so tonight or tomorrow. There's still plenty of time for folks to join in on this - just ensure that 'Driver' is on your Xbox Friends list. |

Also I'm using my roommates Live account: Joephis1
woot (for me) down to 25.191 and that was with automatic.
How did the number one guy get like 22.X on that track?

Times have been added to the main post - let me know if I missed yours or copied it incorrectly. There was one guy, Joephie, I think, who posted a time recently, but I don't know if here's part of this thing or not.
Thanks!
