Many of you have completed the four stages of the Driving Academy special event.
Some with gold, some not.
But after a brief search and finding no other topics on the matter, few have noticed the following points:
1)The SLS AMG "Tuned Car" is used in two of the four stages 2)The two final stages are on a wet Nordschleife
3)The driving line aid can be used in the first two dry stages, but not the last two wet stages
This leads to some other observations:
1)The SLS AMG "Tuned Car" is featured no where else in the game, could the Stealth Car possibly be the tuned car? I'll do some testing both myself, and with Bob
2)The Nordschleife cannot be played as a wet track anywhere else in the game, this may have something to do with point three
3)This may simply be due to the fact that the final two stages are supposed to be more difficult, but all the other aids are allowed throughout the events. Could this possibly have something to do with the fact that the track is wet? I believe (no confirmation) that the dynamic weather la sarthe, and the non-dynamic weather la sarthe have different recommended driving lines (someone posted this somewhere...) Possibly, the driving line is not computer drawn, but by a human. Or possibly done through gps tracking IRL. Maybe the driving line is the issue that prevented them from featuring the wet Nordschleife in other parts of the game.
After some testing, my Bob's time on a dry Nordschleife with WARM but not worn comfort soft tires in a stock 300 SL with an oil change and 0 miles is 10:25.796
The beginner stage has the same conditions except that tires are cold when starting, the required times are as follows...
Gold: 8:49
Silver: 9:27
Bronze: 11:02
So Bob would most likely bronze the beginner stage.
I'll edit in more testing results as I come across them.
Discuss.
