I've got to stage 10.6 again with the Audi this time. Even by slowing the bots down in the previous challenges (and clearly when you get to 'finish 1,700 in front' that's not going to help), the winning time was still just over 15 minutes and I was going to finish 11th. I stopped at the last chicane and let everyone pass me so I came last, then I raced one full race with a broken car (15th, but again waited and came 22nd), then I started to race with the broken car again but was too busy to finish so retired after 2 laps, then finally a third time of finishing last (would have been 17th had I not stopped). The winning time is still 15 mins 10 seconds with his fastest lap still at 2:53. 2:53 lap time is the absolute fastest I've ever done this stage in, so starting a full minute behind the leading car means that the best I could do, if I drove 5 absolutely perfect laps at 2:53, taking into account the 1 minute lead he has, would be 15 mins 45 seconds (roughly). I don't think it can be done without slowing him down a lot more, but I'm servicing the car now and will give it one last shot, and then pay the 40GC to advance.

Ranking the cars, I first used the Nissan, and I have to say that I think this was the hardest of the 3, and I'm sure it's not just down to the fact that I'm used to the game now after 3 turns. The top speed is good, but the cornering is easily the worst of the 3, by a LONG way. Drive it on Bathurst to find out how bad.

The Porsche was my second car, and this was a dream to drive. The top speed was nice and the cornering was so easy!

The Audi is still a way better cornerer than the Nissan, and it's a very close second to the Porsche in my opinion, but it's easy to see why Porsche dominate the real race if this is anything to go by.
