A few more time trial levels and then back to career, where I won a few races despite driving like a complete idiot. And then I fell asleep in front of the car selection screen, so decided it was probably time to stop playing.

So, I sold the anime Mini I’d bought at auction for more than I’d paid for it and used the cash to turn my 2006 Charger into an S-ranked super car. With that power it was almost undriveable, but not quite, and I finally managed to win the last Proving Ground races that had been a sticking point. Hooray!

Then I jumped back into my Lotus Elise and did the first couple of Amateur races, which I won with ease.

I’ve spent the day so far trying and failing to win the final Proving Ground event, three races in heavy cars. The problem is, there’s one car that’s far, far better than the competition and though I can easily beat the other cars, I can never catch the one in first. It’s very annoying indeed. I’ve upgraded and upgraded my 2006 Dodge Charger, but still can’t keep up.

Grr.

I’m quite pleased with this design.

In short, I like this.

I like the car collecting, the customisation and, to a lesser extent so far, the actual racing.

I decided to make my home region North America, because I do love American muscle cars. I know that they may not be the best at going round corners and other such trivialities, but they’ve got more soul than an Impreza or an Audi TT. Or, perhaps more accurately, the speak to my soul more.

Anyway, I got some rubbish little Pontiac convertible thing, painted it up with a crude image of Jason Voorhees and entered the first set of races. Took me a while, but I won the first event and, in doing so, won two more cars. One of them is a Mustang, which my wife is currently transforming into a lovely pink Hello Kitty car.

Sweet.
