unoclay Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Respect to the highest score---i did 5 runs, and couldnt quite get his score. I guess i made it into the silver medal category (for now)? 4:35:27 Didnt see any rules about manual vs. auto shifting, so i used manual..... Most fun i ever had with this game, having an actual goal to playing. Took me back to races in pole position with my little brother Sorry for the pic quality--flipphone lyfe, im true retro ;'] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmapo81 Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 4:26.38 - automatic shifting... i think that 1 or 2 seconds better is possible... hard trak! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unoclay Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 darn, i was hoping to practice more and beat your old score, but now you upped the ante even further! good work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unoclay Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 got a new personal best, so i guess i still have 2nd place, but im still 6.5 seconds behind the lead..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremiahjt Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 On my second try I got 4:35.66 and I think I might be done with this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unoclay Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 new to the high score club, but i like this idea. Do scores just get updated at the end of the month? Probably--makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unoclay Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 my name in lights!!!! I'm so excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unoclay Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I just got 4:32:44 but accidentally hit the button before i could take a screenshot. Given that its only a couple tenths of seconds faster than my previous time, im not gonna fuss about it. Man knocking off 6 more seconds to catch the lead? I must be doing something wrong. Thats a big gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unoclay Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Man. I literally tapped the brake in a stupid spot and cost myself a chance to grab first place. I genuinely got nervous realizing how fast i was going. .23 of a second!!!!!!!! "Darnit" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
