I've added in pics and finished the layout.

What do you guys think, interested?

In the next 7 days i will try to get a time up for this long challenge!.
 
Not interested, holidays are too short and SA time is too sparce.

Isn't it a little too hard with four stars? My car would already blown by the cops before I reach Angel's Pine.

Ah well, I'll give it a try if I can 👍



Cheers,


BTW: Nice idea :D
 
Maybe you should start with no stars or 1?

Usually, the Gumball starts off no police. The police know their coming, but they can't do anything unless the cars break the law.

But I'll give this a shot.
 
I'll print out the details and pictures and give it a go over the weekend. It sound like a good challenge.

1) Two cheats that would help: Increase wanted level (at the begining) and lock midnight (to flip on and off at the beginning, saves waiting).
2) Are you sure you mean absolutly no offroading? How do we get onto the highway after yellow? There's no legal onramps for miles. Only asking because the rest of the race seems to 'flow' more smoothly.

Following rules to the letter: 17:49
That was fun, going to try again later with a different vehicle.
 
I'm up for it. But I'm going to do it with no stars first then 4 stars. I'll even post pics. I don't know how pics will help, but oh well. I'll start tonight. What's the lock midnight code btw?

Not sure about that. I think its best if you just keep to the roads. There is an offramp south west if you double back a bit on the strip and use that one. Or you could head to the offramp near the airport or even the far east one.

If this is still troublesome i may be able to change the location of the yellow dot to somewhere else in LV.

About the 4 stars, yes i want to keep it that way its not that hard to drive with 4 stars and im sure if you keep out of harms way it will lower to 3 or even 2 by the end.

Mclaren i know the gumball starts with no police but in SA speeding and dangerous driving does nothing to the wanted level so if you were to start on 1 star before you even left SF you would have no stars. So 4 stars is challenging but not hard like 5 or 6. 3 is just way to easy.

Once i finished moving i will get a time on this also :)
 
Hmm, looks to be a god idea, but i don;t think i'll bother at the moment. Looks too much like hard work, and anyway, i've gotta get on with my I.T project. Nice idea though 👍, might try it out in the summer holidays. Will report back.

Either my new route is supremely kickass, or I screwed up somehow. I'm going to see if I can get anywhere close to that for confirmations sake.

Edit: 15:56. Okay, that was nearly flawless. I swear I'm going to stop now, untill I get some actual competition. :D

Edit again: I'm really surprised this isn't more popular. Even Small_Fryz hasn't turned in a time yet.
Just for kicks, I tried to approximate what the fastest possible time could be. Using a Turismo (just one, I had to respray it once), with no traffic and no cops, I got a time of 14:24 (minus what time it took for the respray). Subtracting furthur time for several minor screwups, possible route improvements I haven't found, and the addition of nitrous, I'd say the fastest this route could be done is 13:30.
 
Small_Fryz was the gumball thing your idea or was it taken form another site?
If it was taken from another site shall we make our own one called 'The GTP SA gumball?' im sure we could all make a wicked gumball that we will all agree on because i think this ones a bit too hard but then again some of you seem quite happy with this one, anyway tell me what you think 👍

EDIT: It could just be me but 4 stars is too intence and my car never lasts and keeps blowing up. Its very annoing because i want to set a time too.
