Has anybody done this Time Attack?

If so can you please give some advice as to which car you used to complete it.

I have completed the trial within the time with an Enzo Ferrari but never without accumulating enough time penalties from hitting cars of going off road that I stray from the target time. I have also tried with a Caterham CSR 260. This has the other result - I have enough control to avoid collisions and stay on the road but do not make the time limit.

Any suggestions??

i did it in the caterham.

dont avoid traffic completely. ofcourse not hitting too much is a good idea, but i think i went down to the 100 mark and still won gold

I used a Gallardo SE tuned to stage 3 (iirc), luckily for me the mountain section forms a major section of my fav bit of road on the island, so my fav road combined with one of the all round best cars in the game meant first time gold.

just practice with a car you can really chuck about at speed. Keep on the road as much as possible, and try not to hit anything. Simple really ;o)

Ford GT did the job for me after failing with every class A car. Slow and steady does the job and the GT has enough punch to get to the end in time.

it took me a lot of tries to get this one! i ended up with a 7'26"05 using enzo ferrari. The saleen was a bit of a handful in the turns, so go with a car that handles well for you and just keep trying. I also noticed that when you retry the challenge that the a.i cars change,some runs i did there were none coming the other way for the first bit. Id say this was one of the hardest time trials for me.
