TA, mint mate! I love the last one, also that car has great stance.

Ok im trying to crack the multiplayer races and tbh by the time I get online there are only americans on. I did loads of races earlier in the night and won a good few however I stupidly did ... quick match, player match. Then noticed you needed to do ranked races :blink: After trying this now I cant beat a single american fooker... plus im sick of having to use a slippery saleen around the 1.9mile city race.

Is there a work around for this? I have 800 points and desperate to get the 1k points.

Thanks,
Craig

I believe the easiest way is to get a "achievement point" buddy... ie you "happen to meet" them at the race and then agree that one of you will win each time etc. I haven't done any multiplayer races yet and would be happy to work with someone to do so.

Good to finally meet up with you guys yesterday.. Tango and Crimson! Had a laugh even though we didn't do any proper racing. thumbsup

I took snaps of my screen with my mobile phone of photos that I taken over the weeks. These are my favourite, although the method doesn't really do them justice.. :rolleyes: I resized them too, so that they don't take up the whole screen and they look slightly less horrible!

Noble, you could try searching for lower class races by using filters. I think my Canadian friend did F class in the TT, and when people joined in Golfs he romped off and won. Worth a try maybe..

or

Like the guys said, do what we did last night in inter-club and take it in turns to win. If you need a club to race against I can help you out because I'm not in the VX220 club.. :o

Managed to reel off three of my remaining seven race challenges in a row B)

4 race challenges and 7 timed challenges to go :rolleyes:

I like to think I'd have done a better job of writing TDU than Atari :rolleyes: How many bugs are there??!?

Thanks to tifosi and his mates for participating in the inter-club "racing" thumbsup

This is a bit late Tif but it was great to meet you and your friends online. Those motorbike races at the end were a hoot! I also have the elise and exige both upto stage 3 but tbh I hate the handling of them. The best car for me is still the Ford GT, amazing handling and quick off the mark, also sounds great on over-run thumbsup Mr Pops the easiest way to get your online stuff is to get a friend to stage the race in one of the rooms (nice short race at the top of the map and get him / her to let you win. To get your custom challenges all you do is set up a really short stretch of raod and make the price in $900 and the pot $1000 put it on for 1 day. No one will touch it. After 3 days you will have shared 3 custom challenges and won 3 thumbsup Now all you have to do, like me and the others, is wait for Atari to patch the gamee so that you can trade online and drive 5k miles. I have switched my attention to LEGO Starwars 2 atm. Craig

Me too. I've now got 4 challenges left:

Tantalus
Maserati Trophy
Narducci Loop
Pass of Good Hope

Any clues to the best car and/or method much appreciated.

I'm playing Lego Star Wars now too :D

There's a limit as to how many challenges can be on at any one time, so I think you have to wait your turn. I'm sure the limit is something like 265, and then when enough of them expire, yours should pop up. Either that or you just didn't see it.. :unsure: I need to do that one too, thanks for the tip NO8LE thumbsup

You cant see your own challenege, otherwise you could play it and win it yourself!!!

Also you can only have 1 at a time active, (to stop you getting the share 3 challenges quickly)

simple really. I won all my achievements too.

Also for a bit of help if you need the win 5 instant challenges unplug your 360 from live and play TD you are offline but there are CPU players driving about beat them (they are easy) in 5 instant challeges and you are away. then plug back in to live and see your gamer points go up :D

Sounds like Crimson is right.. thumbsup With instant challenges, you could just challenge your friends and kick their assess, that's always fun :D Most of what I do now on TD is meet up with friends in a one-make type race and do a bunch of instant challenges all night, it's so much fun. My rank on Instant challenges is 88 now.. :P

Crimson is right you cant see or race your own custom challenge. Therefore you set so silly amount for the in / out money i.e you win like $100 and no one will touch it. If no one beat your challenge it means you win it. Hope that help Coco. Tango I would use a tuned enzo for both Tant and Nard thumbsup I think the Massy trophy is MC12 to get the ref time I cant remember which one Pass of good hope is but if you describe it then I could tell you what I used. Tant is so hard and it took me so many attempts - your driving skills are far superior than mine so I dont want to know if you do it first time :lol: BTW if you want to feel sick as chip after cracking Tant then look up the other online times - dudes must cheats to be able to ace race in these kind of times. Craig PS - come on Atari fix the trade button ......
