32.770. Played on a 21" CRT TV this time.

Can't see how a sub 32.4 time could be achieved but that's not to say it's impossible...

It really is a fantastic looking game! It's best experienced through the use of a VGA box.

it's definitely on my want-list now... I don't have many DC racers so it's nice to have one I'm excited to check out specifically.

Sub 33 is pretty challenging enough. :lol:

Both your times have been posted. No changes in the leaderboard. I have also edited the top achievement to 33 seconds. Just under that appears to be about the best time you can get with this car. Even if someone does manage 32 or less, it's still plenty challenging enough to get under 33.

Here's my latest time. Not much of an improvement but I'll take it.

This game can be quite addicting when you're trying to beat a specific time! I keep thinking to myself the whole time "Just one more lap!". :D

Here's my latest time. A big improvement for myself but still far off from you two.

I guess sub 32 is possible but you would have to race impeccably. Picture quality is poor as this is a DVD recording on pause. I'll try and get the lap uploaded on YT ASAP.

Well done ChrisHa2049, maybe viewing my lap can take you sub 32?

Fantastic times guys!

It's amazing how what you think is possible changes once the competition is underway. As I have said, I always seem to make the achievements too easy even though I set them higher (or lower) than I think is possible.

Speaking of achievements, congrats on getting the final one Chris!

Quite a few plays tonight. A sub 32 is *technically* possible for me but as there's no room for error, I'll be playing forever to get it :lol:

Speaking of which, it seems the fastest car for this track is..........the LAWNMOWER! Managed a sub 29 second time with it; things got the acceleration of an F1 car!
