Make your selection.

I just finished this ten lapper and I swear I nearly dozed off at about lap 5.

Well, my Yaris is fairly heavily tuned, so it took a bit under half an hour, but it was EXTREMELY dull. The highlight was lapping everyone at about lap 7.

Imagine my dismay when it turned up as race 3 (I think) of the professional Yaris/Vitz series...

The stupid thing is the other races are relatively close, especially when you fall behind on superhard slicks and are counting on everyone making pit stops to get the lead...

No - I won that one first.

I had a gold Vitz that I just put an exhaust and some tyres on to win the Beginners series, and won the pink Vitz.

I did a fully tricked turbo version of that one, and then when I went to race the pro-series I couldn't find it (figured I'd sold it), so I tricked up the gold one I had lying around, except I did full NA tuning, and it's actually not too bad to drive (nothing another 300 hp couldn't fix!).

So now I have:
- a bought gold fully NA tuned Vitz
- a won pink turbo Vitz
- a won metallic pale blue stock standard Vitz

Tell me, with the colour of the cars I've won, the game trying to tell me something about my driving style?

It can be a boring race if you just get in the lead and slowly drive away from the field....then again this type of race is perfect for destruction derby. It's fun trying to send the computer cars into uncontrollable spins and crashes as you t-bone them on the bends, slam on your brakes and wait for the hit, force em into the walls etc.... Yes it's a boring race but it cab be a laugh as well

I gotta try that race! Too much for me. I think I'm having a heart attack.

This race was very boring. I was on GTPlanet and posting a bunch of times as my thumbs were getting sore from steering and accelerating.

Personally, I think this is part of a bigger problem - dealing with the really slow races in cr@p cars. Vitz, Altezza and the rest.

I know you sometimes have to race rubbish cars and its all about driving skill, rather than engine size, but I actually resent having to do 20 laps in a car that is mind-numbingly dull to drive. After beginner level I'd be happy to drop these loser-mobiles.

Given that the race is mind numbingly dull, how fast can you get your vitz to go.

I've manged 260 kph (165 mph) in a fully modified Yaris 1.5 RS


How about you lot?
