    Love the TopGear test track and test car idea!! :thumbs Would suggest using a free track and car for that to keep it as accessible to everyone as possible! For those curious about raceroom below are the only free tracks (basically 1 track and 1 hillclimb - with variations) and cars (5)... (would be sufficient for a TopGear leaderboard like challenge though) They also have various events you can enter which allow use of other select cars/tracks while the event is running.

    Other categories/games could include paid for games and/or content.

    Yes please, free track and car would be nice.
    The again Isle of Mann track on rfactor would be interesting for a "top ten shootout".

    OK, to see if we can get something going I just spent the last hour trying to memorise the track and get a lap where I don't go head first into a wall...

    I am sure if it takes off Rene will come up with a wonderful solution to capture and display a "Simtools Leaderboard" :thumbs

    Cheers :cheers

    Hey Rufus, I will get this set up and give it a try.

    How about you start a new thread on the topic? I wonder if it is possible to have a database type thread?
