Just bumping to say I've been playing this heavily this week. I find that most of the time, I end up getting gold, then I go an challenge my friend from high school and spend about half an hour (sometimes more) just turning laps to beat his time on different tracks, and it's really fun. I mean, I'm just doing laps all on my own, no other cars (other than the single ghost), and I'm loving just going 'round and 'round, figuring out the corners and how to take them.
I also did the Long Beach Hopper Challenge last night, which actually wasn't that terrible. I mean for being 2 hours in a car I couldn't handle (the DW12 Indy car), it went by pretty quickly, and trying to get the car under control as I went was fun. Going from having driven 2 C-class cars to X-class was a BIG difference.
Add me if you want to either play online (I haven't beyond that challenge yet), or if you just want another Drivatar to face.
