Crispy/Greg, yes it is PGR2.


Cheers guys HARD is not a strong enough word for some of the cone challenges in this game, especially one in the dark in Grand Touring, so i'm very glad to see the back of them. Think i got lucky on a couple of them as well, as i did 2 cone challenges in Ultimate first try!, but i'm not complaining. Bring on PGR3.








(maybe i'll give Arcade mode a go!)

Well done Mate!! Makes my mainly Gold with a few plats affair look rather shabby! I can't even get Gold on the cone challenges - there's obviously something that I just don't get about them. I go around and do 2 clean laps (fairly quickly) and just make silver!

To physically do it on platinum didn't actually take that long, but to get good enough to do has taken quite a while. I've racked up 2500 races on 'Live' so far(winning 800 of those) so thats a fair few hours(at a guess 500 or so hours). But i decided to do the platinums on saturday night as there was not many people online, so i managed to do about 130 platinums in one sitting from about 9pm till 3am, bit sad but i was in the groove, did a few more sunday evening and finished off the last few tricky cone challenges on Thursday, leaving the 2 laps of Nurburgring till last.

GG - outside, i've heard rumours thats its real, but apparantly there is something called 'weather' n stuff that doesn't interest me.
