SM Racer wrote: I find this discussion curious. Avg speed challenges are basically just time challenges by a different name. Avg speed is your distance divided by time, and the distance is basically fixed. Yes you can run wide in turns and tweak avg speed at the margins by doing that, but fundamentally if avg speed challenges are giving you trouble then you need to develop your overall driving skills and drop your times.

I kinda like the avg speed challenges just because the target time is a mystery. I agree that I think it is a fixed time to a particular track.

I don't think your line effects it. Otherwise when not paired with no off track, massive cuts such as at Le Mans would be no help for average speed as you would be cutting the distance and slowing the car down over that shorter distance. There are some examples where running weird (doing reverse laps etc.) has some effect, but I think that it is more that there is a glitch some where in code. 7.2 and 8.2 of Perseverance were fixed times masked as average speed goals.
