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. That was my original reasoning. You're right if the algorythm of calculating your avg speed is a simple division of a fixed distance by time. However, the actual distance with allowance for track width and lines is not fixed at all and could affect the avg speed by at least 1 to 2 kmh.

Anyway, what I did not like was the 'no skidding' requirement.
