This thread could do with some more life injected into it, and guess who's the man to do just that?
Well, we couldn't get anyone else, so unfortunately, you get me.

Anyway, here's the plan.
I pick a game, and set a challenge for it. Any game, any challenge.

You, if you have said game, sod off and play on it for a while, and try and get the best result for the challenge tnat you can.

Then, after a week, a winner is chosen, and that winner can set a challenge, however if they fail to set a new challenge within 3 days, I shall start a new one, because we wanna keep things moving.

Rules:
1) We're relying on you for honesty, but if it becomes blatantly obvious your cheating, then we shall ignore all future input by you into this thread. Obvious things would be ridiculous socres on some challenges, or continuosly posting a new best everytime someone else tops your score. I will also be more likely to trust regulars I know, sorry, thats the way it is, except newbies are more than welcome to enter.
2) When setting a challenge, bear in mind it's a week's challenge, so don't start tasks like 'how long can you finish Gran turismo 3 in with all golds', we want short threads.
3) You choose the game, yes, but if it becomes apparent that no-one has the game you chose you shall be told to find a better, more widely owned game and a new challenge.
4) No starting challenges for games that are imported or solely online.
5) Don't use cheats. Come on, play fair.
6) You can select to set up a challenge involving a cheat, so for example 'how many points can you get on tony hawks with the flying cheat'. In this instance, the cheat must be posted up with the challenge, and I'm afraid I won't accept Cheat cartridge cheats, only ones that everyone can use.
7) You can post your new challenges either in here or preferably in a new thread, but If anyone forgets I shall start a new thread for them including their challenge and crediting them.
8)Please. Play fair, have fun, don't cheat. Let's make it work. Enjoy your PS2s.


First ever challenge: Gran Turismo 3.
Okay, nice and straight forward for the first challenge. I want you to pick any car you own, take it onto the track and do the maximum speed test. Post your scores here, along with the car so we have some proof that you know what your talkin about.

I'll start:
212mph, in a souped up Mazda MX-5.

Enjoy. Don't cheat.

The next challenge could be something to do with Pro Evo 2, i have only just bought it. Could try some of the training challenges - quickest times etc.

In a Polyphony001 I got 356

And in my Escudo Pikes Peak Version I could only get 345 due to it being limited Bah

Methinks I'm setting an easy score just as a starting point...

my memory must be failing me, Darwock click on the link and you'll see the F1 cars don't have that high a top speed

The Escudo is not maxxed out when you buy it, I know this because I put a Stage 4 Turbo on mine after I bought it (gave it 1814 PS).

I would expect one of the F1s to have the highest top speed. I only have the F-090-S.
