Got my time...

3'25.5XX

Here's my victims...

No.1: Nissan Skyline GTS-R


No.2: Nissan Skyline GTS-t Type M (Fin-Toy aka Jeremy)


No.3: Honda NSX


No.4: Honda Civic Type R (EP)


No.5: Nissan Skyline GTS-R (again. Only the FD3S escaped)

Okay, my results.

Time: 3:18.xxx

1st wave.

1 - Ford F-150 Lightning (Woo wee, who says size matters?)


2 - James' Mazda RX-7 (Remember my fender you dinted? PAYBACK TIME!)


3 - Honda NSX (I actually used James as a pinball here to get 2 kills at once, GO ME )


2nd wave.

4 - Honda NSX (without James' help )


5 - Ford F-150 Lightning (Twice the humiliation)


In my defense to image 3. NOTHING in the rules stated I couldnt use other people as pinballs, so I shall not accept that as invalid

BWAHAHAHA... at first it sounded kinda crazy - but it looks like some great inane fun!

And wen u say the last fastest lap after the 5th car bounce, is that the same lap as the car bounce or the fastest u can do?

AFAIK, this isnt a time attack. Just note what the total time is when the 5th car that jumps lands.

OK cool... I'll try post mine 2morrow or the day after - depending on whether I can login...

Same here, im almost thinking about just skiping this challenge, its not in the spirit of Top gear if you ask me

wow what exactly is going on here o_0

Don't ask from me. *looks at the manager rather accusingly* If he doesn't come out from that armoured bunghole of his, I'll call RAF and tell them that there's one armoured, moving practice target at TG studios.

Alright, I'll give this a shot tomorrow. *already hears how the metal gives in* I'm sorry, baby-zilla..

*considers borrowing a bazooka from the HA06 MAS -registered black van that had tinted windows*

Well, Stiggy, I gave the Top Gear management a harsh lecture about it, and they said they will not do it again. So yeah, don't expect to see this again in the near future.

James May: I must say, that's quite some crazy and impossible theories when doing this challenge, eh? And Hammond, looks like I still may have a stronger impact, sending my first two victims higher than yours. Ramming the AI at a sharp decline of the track makes them fly even further. The problem is, there's this one invincible vehicle I've been trying to make it fly, but unable to do so; The Chevy Silverado.

If you hadnt of hid behind that F-150, you would of flew, but alas that F-150 took alot out of the Lancer's initial hit

Silverado's are heavy beasts, twice the F-150 I think. Lightweights like our cars prove powerless to it.


Roll on challenge number 3

Managed to get a sneak peek of the third challenge, and... it's HARD. From what I know, it's difficulty 10, and almost impossible to actually get a good ranking. Still not decided on the location, but this may bring out, or maybe the toughest Top Gear challenge just yet. De La Sarthe II, or Seattle Circuit, or Grand Speedway

I take rules will b the same as the first challenge, or u gonna allow us to do something to the car?

Technical track should b good - it should allow us to keep up with the fast guys (few long straits!)

Top Gear Management: It seems that James May seemed to have leaked information to the participants, and hence forth, has been sent to do some cleaning chores, with a toothbrush. No further news will be given until the stipulated time to be revealed. That old Captain Slow.

James May: Oh cock. *Aiming the toothbrush at the Top Gear Management* I'll have Jeremy Clarkson drive over your lawn one day with his 4X4. Or Hammond with his tractor. Or maybe not. Just right click and use the "select all" feature. I've managed to hide the possible tracks for the 3rd challenge. One of my posts has the list.

Diffculty 10?! We better be allowed to give our cars at least an oil change! My Evo is tearing itself apart inside

As we're in the US anyway, how about we go to Infineion?(sp?)

If its level 10 a Oil change is manditory, there's really no way any of the lower-powered cars having a chance without one unless the course is very technical

I may just have the best chance of victory in the next challenge

Big Stig: Sorry guys, I'm actually on vacation right now, and internet usage is EXTREMELY limited. I have my challenger though.

Classified AD:

Make: TOYOTA

Model: MR2 GTS

Year: 1997.

Engine: 2.0l I4 Turbo.

Super Red, 37,950 miles on the clock, runs great. Havng children, need to get rid of quickly. $9,720 (Yes, there actully is one, I have tried to find it again, but, to no avail so far. The value in the garage is $2,373.)

"Wow!" I thought, this should be a steal! I mean, 240bhp from the factory, MR, and two seater! I quickly pickedit up, and headed over to the Beginner Course, to test it out.



Had some fun, as you can see!

Then, off to the dyno, where it came up with 221bhp, and 202.3 ft. lbs of torque.

After that, I wenton a 1/4 mile run, which yielded a 14.597 second pass. The top speed is a drag-limited 158.90mph.

Now, off to El Capitan!

The competition is as follows:

SUBARU Impreza STi (IV) '97
NISSAN Skyline GT-R V-Spec N1 '99 (R34)
SUBARU Impreza STi (V) '98
NISSAN Skyline V-spec '96 (R33)
FPV F6 Typhoon '04

Finish place: 1
Best Lap: 2'03.137 (Test laps were faster, at 2'02.697)
Total Time: 4'19.932

Second challenge results should be up on Monday for me, as the internet at home is being fixed Monday morning, and my mom isn't always letting me use her PC.

Noted. The 2nd challenge will go on till Tuesday, where the 3rd challenge will be unveiled. This will be the best time for participants who wants to join in, and make a hash out of it from the 1st to 2nd challenge.

Here is my entry for entry no.2

My last car bounce was quite bad as I was desperate and did it slow... first 2 were great! supre high flyers!, and I even manages a super high ricochet fly - by bouncing an rival sti into the 350z, note u cannot see how high as it is slightly obscureed by the rise.

Here is me picssss...











On my way home my car was starting to pull to the right, so I stopped at the nearest gas station and check out the chassis - found out the right front arm is bent - Outlaw-2 I expect compensation...

O yes almost forgot time: 3'28.810

You're not the one having the problem. My both front suspension and stabilisers are going to pop. It creaks almost every single bump, and when in cornering, it makes a horrendous wrenching sound, the type where you could feel your heart wringing, telling the car to go on. Don't worry, something special will come up next. Just wait till Tuesday, or when MattSAF posts his results of no.2

Well its Thursday over here in the U.S, where's the challenge ?

I may try El captian at lvl 10, just to see how i fare against them...

I haven't been able to force myself to do that crazy bumper car madness yet.. oh well..

Oh come on, Kurei, Fin-Toy, just get the 2nd challenge over and done with. I'm trying to be different from the other challenges. VTiRoj hasn't complained about the problems in his Evo I. Realmdrifter has some suspension problems, and I have the most problems. The RX-7 now feels fidgety.


James May: *Pokes fun at one of Clarkson's lines* Ahem, the car's fine! (In an American slang)

Question about the photos. What specific brand of USB thumbdrives can the PS2 recognize?

I didn't use a thumbdrive at all. I was using a cheap 1GB MP4 player (It's those S1 MP3/4 players that came from China. Just don't update the firmware like I did. The colours are all funny with the MP4's 1.8 inch screen when I updated the firmware.) to store the GT4 pics. Works fine and it doesn't have any problem to it as well.
